It was a goodie 💍

Finished The Wedding People by Alison Espach, and it was such a good read!

This one was picked by my friend’s book club and I’m so glad I joined in. It’s funny, surprisingly soul-healing, and even though it was a bit predictable, I still enjoyed it. The book tackles heavy subject matter, but Espach writes it beautifully, making me appreciate it even more.

One part in particular really stuck with me I even talked to my husband about it. Spoiler ahead!

➡️ That moment in the hot tub when she realizes she’s afraid of the wrong person. It’s not him she should fear it’s herself, because she’s the one trying to take her own life. 😭

Have you read this one yet? Let’s talk about it!

Goodie bag shouldn’t be 5 minutes toys
Do you ever feel this way? After every party, your kids come home with a bag full of little plastic toys. They’re excited for a few minutes… and then never touch them again. Soon they end up in the trash. It feels wasteful — not just for the effort behind the gift, but for the environment too.
