Ah the quote ❤️ the reminder that I need for a -2 degree HIGH for the weather this weekend 😭 I love hearing about parenting a few seasons ahead of me. I never thought the little season could go too fast, but my almost five year old was just so tiny and now she's so big 😭

It really is true! (both the quote and the truism about kids growing up...)

One of my favorite things about these posts is the polls, and I love today's question about books! I clicked "random" as the closest thing, but my actual shelving style is mostly by height/size. Height rules all because if it can't fit, it can't fit!

My kids came up with this question because they make fun of me at how I'm SUCH a die-hard about alphabetical organization. I told them, "Should I word the choices, 'alphabetical, aka, the correct way' and 'all other ways, aka, the wrong ways'?" 🙃

Ha! As my husband likes to say, "Yes, well, I've heard of two ways of doing that: my way, and the wrong way."

Thanks to you, Tsh, I have rediscovered All Creatures Great and Small. I remember my mom loving the books when I was a teenager. I caught up on Seasons 1-3 during the holidays and am now savoring Season 4, one episode a week. I am also listening to the first book on my walks and frequently laughing out loud. What a balm for the soul!

Isn't it so good? And yes, the audiobooks are excellent!

How's the new season of All Creatures? (I'm so excited to see Mrs. H again!! As a sidebar - I managed to find the little St. Nicholas statue she keeps in the entry, and even though I've knocked it over a thousand times in our cramped hall, it makes me so happy).

I'm so looking forward to catching up on the podcast!

I love that you found that statue! And I love her — she's sorta like my patron/avatar these days (my youngest even said, after Mrs. H told Tristan that the keys were on the hall hook EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE, "Hey Mom, that sounds like you."). This new season is great! Sadder than I expected in some parts, and Tristan isn't in it at all, which is a bummer. But it's still beautiful, and I love how it ends!
