My ultimate geek out moment

You know that feeling you get when your favorite TV series just came out with it's new season? That’s the feeling I get when I get an email from the library saying the books I requested on hold are now available. I literally count the days till I can pick them up. Here’s my most recent pick up and I’m just sooooo excited to explore these books and share the big realizations with you.

​A little bit about each of these books:

• Firefly Lane: Kirstin Hannah may be one of my top fave fiction authors and I have been waiting to read this book for months.
• Consent For Kids: My daughter just started school and I wanted to learn more about how to have conversations about consent with her. I saw great reviews on this book and after reading it with her, I definitely plan to buy it.
• Parenting from the Inside Out: I recently attended a Mental Health Workshop in which Daniel Siegel spoke about how necessary it is for parents to make sense of their past in order for their children to be mentally healthy. This talk was so insightful that I had to check out his book.
• The Gift of Presence: Dr. Siegel also mentioned this book in his talk. I skimmed through it already and loved it - added it to my book list for future purchases.
• When the Body Says No: Same Mental Health Workshop - different speaker - Dr. Gabor Mate mentioned this book when talking about how our body can manifest diseases as a result of our poor mental and emotional health… had to get this one too!
• Silent Spring: My hubby actually asked me to check this one out after reading about the author in one of our daughter’s books.
• Digital Minimalism: I have been curious about the effects of our phones and social media platforms on our mental health. My hubby recommended this book. It was exactly what I was looking for and I finished it in three days. SO GOOD.
