April 2024 | Recap

May 2, 2024      Erica Robyn      Leave a Comment

Phew, April flew by!

This month our little dude started daycare so we’ve been rotating through a slew of illnesses. But my gosh, does he LOVE daycare! He’s too cute when we go to pick him up and he snuggles into his teachers before the handoff. He’s growing up so fast just being around the other kiddos! So needless to say, reading took a back burner again this month. Even so, I was able to read four books!

This month, I was so excited that my little blurb about creating a cozy reading nook was featured on the Apartment Guide website:

In today’s fast-paced world, the importance of mindful living at home cannot be overstated. Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, finding moments of intentional presence becomes increasingly valuable, especially within the sanctuary of our own homes – whether it’s an apartment in Minneapolis, MN, or a rental home in Wichita, KS, or anywhere else in the world. Check out this ApartmentGuide article we were featured in for 13 Little Ways to Stay Mindful at Home.

— Mindful Living at Home: 13 Little Ways to Stay Intentional by Julia Weaver

Thank you again to Julia for reaching out!

This month I was gifted a signed copy of We’re Not Ourselves Today, an anthology by Lydia Prime and Jill Girardi and my pre-order for Ronald Kelly’s The Sage of Dead-Eye, Book Three: Man-Eaters, Mummies, & Murderous Maniacs came in.

Thank you, thank you, Lydia, Jill, and Ron!
