Stepping Into a New Season with a New Read

December has arrived in all its glittery, slightly chaotic glory. With our school year done, I’ve got more time to tackle the end-of-year rush, enjoy some summery weather (at last!), and dive into a new read. ’Tis the season for stories with heart, healing, and a little holiday warmth, even if Christmas equals sunshine here […]
