Playful: Fun Projects to Make With + For Kids, by Merrilee Liddiard. This beautiful, colorful book is ripe with projects for me to share with Phoebe! With ideas that are approachable and inspirational, Merrilee Lillard has crafter a book appropriate for kids of all ages. With an emphasis on repurposed materials, it’s great for you… and every bit as fun for your little one.
The Rosie Project, by Graeme Simsion. I love reading fiction that transports you into another person’s world, and this book that explores a socially inept genetics professor’s search for love certainly meets the criteria. With strict rules on what his future mate must and must not do, it’s a story that proves we can’t always control who we love and our innate desire for human connection.
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up , by Mare Kondo. The author’s tokyo- based organizing business strives to help her clients not only organize their offices, but also their entire lives, from the inside out. Kondo encourages serenity by cutting down on the clutter, and I can’t wait for the inevitable inspiration that will follow the sage advice from the woman that the Times calls ” Japan’s preeminent guru of tidiness, a warrior princess in the war on clutter.”
