When your books look lovely together. 😍😍 Thanks to @ivpress for the review copy of Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership. I haven’t read it yet but I love the jacket colors and loved it even more when I found that lively green under the jacket. Struck a bookish note of joy. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🤓 📚 Also: please take note of my knee book balancing skills. #armchairathlete #bookstagram #booklove #currentlyreading #booknerd #readmorebooks #erikareadsbooks

Summer days. Saturday. Is anyone else struggling to jump into all the summer things they were excited about? We’ve been doing a lot of driveway time and home time. I’m not sure to blame it on needing a break after our trip or feeling overwhelmed with all the options (and subsequent work involved in making it happen). So I’ve let it be. And we’ve stayed home. And i’ve cleaned a lot and read a lot and written some. None quite as much as i expected, but I tell myself that’s ok. Because rest and life and three kids. But honestly I am constantly expecting more of myself and it gets exhausting. And I want to do all these things. And am excited to do them. But there’s always the push and pull. The rest and go. The do and be still. Somewhere along the way I might find a way to be at ease in both places without feeling the pull to the other. But maybe not and that will have to be ok, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ So smell the roses or do all the things or don’t do anything at all. It’s fine. You’re fine. —- #momlife #creativelife #makethingshappen #bestill #saturday #summerishere #iwentlookingforbeauty #wholemamasummer

It’s fitting I use this bag to bring a pile of books and notebooks outside for while my kids play in the front yard. Because apparently I can’t just bring one book out. I need options. And pens. And paper! 🤷🏼‍♀️😂🤦🏼‍♀️😍😊 #drivewaybookclub #reading #bookstagram #booknerd #writersofinstagram #momlife #creativemom #academicatheart

Introducing the kiddos to soccer and reliving the good old days 😉 Who wants to come play soccer with me? #momlife #soccergirl #summerishere #itssimplytuesday #raisingawildchild #thisisunschooling

Posted a review! (Free copy thanks to @ivpress) I wished one thing were different, but overall the kids and I really enjoyed this delightful book! Find the details on my blog. #linkinprofile #childrensbooks #readaloudrevival #readgoodbooks #raisingreaders #bookstagram #momlife

I’ve been saving this lucky thrift store find. Today seemed like a good day for it. I love their thinking faces 😂 #momlife #naptime #thisisunschooling #thisishomeschool #sixandfour

Squeezing in a few pages between dinner and bedtime while the kids wild-play. :) This book is intriguing. I accidently picked up and read a few pages of the second in the series a few months ago before I realized it. I’m glad I decided to read the first one first. #parableofthesower #erikareadsbooks #momlife #sunday #bookstagram #amreading

Pretty much love this shirt from my half last weekend. 🐠 🐟 🐠 Also i can’t remember the last time a race shirt has actually fit right! Score. Also: got my run in 👍🏼 🏃🏼‍♀️ #runnermama #treadmill #sunday #getthingsdone

The roses are here. 🌺 #blackandwhite #saturday #summer #iwentlookingforbeauty

I write, I run, I read, and I am a mother to three little kids. It's a little crazy, but that's why I'm here: writing to figure it all out.
