It's more important to be interesting, to be vivid, and to be adventurous, than to sit pretty for pictures.
pickA charming story of juggling self + couple + family; the challenges of a marriage with children. Center has such a positive outlook and is never sappy, often hilarious, and just darn good. I wasn‘t so sure I wanted to be in this world of chasing 3 young boys around while holding onto some romance, but this worked for me by the end. Our heroine lives through it all by loving her way through it all.

pickI just loved this book. Katherine Center understand marriage and the work that goes into keeping the love alive. #romancy
pickSo, so relatable. Never stop fighting for your marriage, for your family, for yourself. I love that despite giving up sleep to work on herself, physically and by starting photography, Lanie found healing in her new circumstances. I really enjoyed all the little quirks of parenthood and the nods to the never-ending ponderings of why we do what we do in response to our kids.
“I hate to say it, but I will. Children, despite their infinite charms, are an absolute assault on a marriage.”
pickFinished reading this while my youngest was in speech therapy. Flying back from the east coast to the west coast slowed down my reading since I have started falling asleep while reading. Anyhow, short book & a fun read. It was a sweet story about college sweethearts & what can happen after having kids & changing careers or in this case going back to school (which I can relate to as my husband when back for his PhD when our oldest was 2).
pickI always enjoy Center‘s books, some more than others, and this one falls in that category. Lanie and Peter met in college, have been married 9 years and have 3 boys (all aged 4 and under). They move from their beloved Houston home to Cambridge for Peter‘s musician‘s dream. This is a story about everyday life, marriage and parenthood and trying to juggle it all while also not losing your own identity. Humorous but also thought provoking. 4/5⭐️ 🔻
