Some of My Favorite Childhood Books

Posted on June 12, 2018 by SloanParker

Over the last year or so, my hon and I have been doing a lot of downsizing, getting rid of maybe 50% of our stuff. Which means I’ve been sorting through everything and taking a lot of trips down memory lane. I found this gem the other day. Based on my favorite miniseries when I was a kid. And apparently one of my favorite books. By the look of it, I may have read this book a few times during my youth. Check out the fine duct tape work on the spine.

I also found these. Such an odd collection.

What books do you still have from your childhood?

Show I Love: One Day at a Time

Posted on September 12, 2017 by SloanParker

My hon and I just rewatched season one of the remake of One Day at a Time. Such a charming show. It’s funny and has heart. I can never make it through episode 9 (“Viva Cuba”) without crying. And the final episode of the first season is absolutely wonderful.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out if you can. It’s a Netflix original, and there’s a season two in the works.
