Can I just say - mom— you read a LOT of books!! Love you being on Substack now ( with Nina!🤸🏿♀️📚) and no pressure… write when you want… it will be a treat to open up Substack and find you. Another great Jess that I love ( Substack.. like valenti and craven) is Jess Piper .. ❣️
Seymour. Damn .. sorrow.. so sorry… but thank you for sharing it in your comeback newsletter.. you’re c amazing
Thank you, Kate!!! I mean okay if you look at that list like 75% are picture books or board books lol but thanks I appreciate it. It’s fun to be here on Substack with so many good people!!
Woohoo I am so glad this is back! Reading it was the perfect focused antidote to social media scrolling! I love all the recs and hearing what everyone is up to and I love that Hildy made an appearance 💓 as she would say "¡más!"
Welcome to substack, Eebs, and welcome back!! So happy the newsletter is in action again. Also, as a person who’s also newly someone’s mom (weird af), I’m impressed you read any books at all. I dream of getting out on a weeknight and missing bedtime. Also: Luca looks SO much like your dad in that first pic. Love it! Love you!!
Lolololol absolutely classic. Mine today was a conversation about loading something into our truck, and I was like “It’ll be too long to fit,” and Ed said, “So we can use a tow strap.” And you know what I heard, despite knowing exactly what a tow strap is and how much sense it would make in this context? “A toast wrap.” Peak babymom.

Omg and thank you for both the baby and book shoutouts!! I commented before I was done reading. Classic babymom move.
Hahahaha please a classic babymom move is me writing the wrong year for Luca’s birthday and not noticing it until I sent the newsletter out lol
