My kids stole my copy of "You're Not a Real Parent"!

Mine were really interested in it too! They kept asking me if certain ones were true. So turns out it's also middle grade?

We cover a LOT of territory... it's the kind of book that we hope will be dog-eared and beaten around for years to come, since it's babies, toddlers, tweens, teens, and all grown up!

(Thank you again for the kind words!)

Julie! Thank you so much! Love all your links—have also been thinking about reading Yellow Face, and your recommendation seals it for me. (Also, more Barbie memes, please?)

Yay! Thanks for mentioning the episode about visiting long distance friends. I guess I could have also titled it, "Meeting Your Internet People." :)

Finally got to the last two seasons of The Boys on Amazon Prime. Grim, but dang funny. Especially if you know anything about comic books.

Hi Julie! I'm in the same boat looking for funny TV shows. We recently watched Fisk on Netflix and I really liked it (and the episodes are under 30 minutes!). I am now going to take Biscuit pose. :)

Ooh I actually watched the first episode the other night and liked it, I will give the rest of them a go! And highly recommend Biscuit pose. He is basically an expert yoga meditation instructor.
