Some say parenting and reading regularly can’t coexist.\u00a0 I say, get your kids into reading and you can all escape together!\u00a0 I also say ignore the kids\u00a0 a little bit more, you can’t be accused of being a helicopter parent that way, AND you get to READ; win win!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So the doctor says relax more, and the husband says relax more, and I keep trying to find ways to do that.\u00a0 I am not a relaxed personality.\u00a0 I screamed at my new blackberry playbook at least three times yesterday.\u00a0 Technology is not my friend, stresses me out; and all those nasty screens encourage my migraine habit.\u00a0 Give me a good book and I can literally become one with the couch; joyfully.\u00a0 Book + tea in hand = see you tomorrow!<\/p>\n

For the first summer in many summers I made sure to load up on second hand books and have a deliciously exciting variety on hand!\u00a0 I can’t decide if reading spreads my days out in wonderful calmness or if it makes hours disappear in a flash… it is some mysterious combination, or coexistence, of the two!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reading is so amazing no matter the location!\u00a0 Reading on the beach has been a long lost treasure FOUND for me once again.\u00a0 Reading on the front step in the mild cool morning is amazing and as I said before, my pink couch or cream chaise is always waiting for the book and I to return.<\/p>\n

With the return of summer binge reading so too has the desire to collect and maintain my collection returned.\u00a0 A roll of mactac practically jumped out at me, when last at the hardware store.\u00a0 I have been happily mactacing my newest paperback finds all week.<\/p>\n

The perfect description of how much I obviously enjoy mactacing was wrapped up in a cute question from my 9 year old son, “Why do you massage the books mom?”.<\/p>\n

Happy reading!<\/p>\n

Always Lady Mac an Rothaich<\/p>\n
