Kicked off 2025 with 13 books read in Q1! 📚✨
This year, I set a goal to be more intentional with reading—36 books total—and this first quarter reminded me how life-giving it is to carve out time for the things that fill me up.
Reading has always been a favorite pastime, but as a mom, I’ve learned it won’t happen unless I make space for it. My Kindle has been the MVP—letting me read in the little moments: waiting in car lines, a few pages before bed, and sometimes even in the chaos of real life with kids around.
Heavy on the romance, light on the nonfiction (still working on that 😂), but I’m so proud of this start.
Here’s to more slow mornings, cozy nights, and turning the page in Q2. 💛

As a busy mom, prioritizing reading can be challenging, but it's incredibly rewarding. This year, I set a goal to read 36 books, a step up from last year's 25. My journey began strong in the first quarter with 13 books read, a combination of romance, memoirs, and even a thriller, embracing the genres I love. Using my Kindle has transformed my reading habits, allowing me to indulge in books during carpool waits, before bedtime, and any small pocket of time I can find. One of the key takeaways from my Q1 reading experience is the importance of being intentional. Reading can be a fulfilling escape from the chaos of parenting and life's daily demands. For those struggling to fit reading into their busy lives, consider carving out specific times during the day. Maybe start with just a few pages in the morning or a chapter before bed—you might be surprised at how quickly those moments add up! Moreover, I focused on enjoying the books I chose without the pressure of reading for 'self-improvement' or 'efficiency'. In Q2, my goal is to challenge myself to delve into more nonfiction, while still enjoying my favorite genres. I'm looking forward to more cozy nights under a blanket with a good book and am excited to see which reads will shape my summer. Remember, it’s perfectly okay to take your time—reading should be a joy, not just a task to check off. Let’s continue this literary journey together!
