Oh, I love this!! I’m the same way when cooking dinner. I used to use that time to listen to an audiobook, but quickly realized that I can’t listen to a book, focus on cooking dinner, and pay attention to what the kids want without feeling overwhelmed. I can do two of those things, max. So, away goes the phone! It’s really helped me a lot.
Every once in a while Chloe will play in her room or outside while I cook, and it feels like a huge luxury to listen to something without interruption!
More in control of your attention--what a great realization and outcome of your reading deprivation! Also, I very much want to hear more about Missy & Ruby!!
Oh, it's SUCH a good book! It's not easy to read, but the storytelling is phenomenal. Thanks for the encouragement to share more M&R stories! I think I will!

Maybe I'll do a Missy & Ruby series on here. :)
Making note of Demon Copperhead! Also, we need more Missy and Ruby stories *please*!
I'm envious of your freedom to do imaginative play. Maybe I should try with other people's kids, too.

Love imaginary play and the reminder...also, I currently have Demon Copperhead open on my lap while I read this 😉
Yay!!
