Happy Friday & Mother's Day Weekend!
Today I have received the BEST Mother's Day present...EVER. The husband has taken the kids and the dog to spend the day with the grandparents. And I am left in sweet silence! In honor of Mother's Day this week, I am sharing one of my all-time favorite literary mothers...
Happy Reading!
Today’s first line is from...
Little Women
Louisa May Alcott
"She's coming! Strike up, Beth! Open the door, Amy! Three cheers for Marmee!" cried Jo, prancing about while Meg went to conduct Mother to the seat of honor.
