RBT + TBR #1 (+Giveaway)
Let's try something new
I love seeing all the weekend roundups and wanted to try something new. Last week, I shared my Highs and Lows for the week with
. You should go check them out and see more of what she shares. I love her perspective on being a mom in this crazy world.
Inspired by this, I’m trying a twist on that series with an ode to how much I love reading. Welcome to the weekly RBT + TBR: Roses, Buds, and Thorns + a few things to consider for your To-Be-Read list. I share:
my Roses, Buds, and Thorns for the week
books I’ve finished recently with ⭐ ratings
books I’m currently reading
articles I’ve read that stand out as spectacular
and a few podcasts I love (listening is just as good as reading)
At the end, I’ll do a book giveaway each week (for paid subscribers). I’ve wanted to do this and tried it occasionally on Instagram, but it never felt fruitful. I’ve seen others (like
) try it on Substack, so let’s see how it goes.

Last night, a friend and I grabbed dinner with our boys and then walked a couple of miles while they sped around the path on e-scooters. The weather was perfect and came with a sunset to match. My husband and younger son are traveling for a hockey tournament this weekend, so it’s a slow weekend with just me and one of my boys. We don’t have many slow weekends, so I’m indulging.
I played lacrosse with my older son on a gorgeous afternoon this week. By "play" lacrosse, I used a baseball glove to catch the lacrosse ball and threw it back to him. I played softball growing up, so I'm catch/throw literate but not with a lacrosse stick. Not even close. 😬
