Grace and Growth with Addie

YA Romance has been a big part of my parenting and reading journey. Susan Lee has been one that I have read from her beginning. Her books are fun and swoony, but also provide a picture of life and culture that we don’t always see. In this episode, we discuss her books, her perspective on books and how she decided to write YA romance.

So tell me, What are you reading right now?

I devoured her book, Up Close and Personal, and knew that it’s unique premise was something we needed to discuss. Ana was so much fun. I know you are going to enjoy her just as much as I did.

I have been having conversations on the internet about clothes and clothing choices. I have also been working hard to be more honest about the things in my closet and what I add to it. Crystal Blin has been an integral part of this journey for me and a constant friend in the conversation that comes with it. She has a unique set of skills to help with this. I am almost obsessed with her closet and how she is making it work for her.

So tell me, What fashion things are you into right now?

The Women by Kristin Hannah

Here Be Dragons by Melanie Shankle

We talk so much about the things we love and that bring us joy (and it’s the best!), but sometimes it’s empowering to share the things we aren’t into. Like a good DNF, letting things go is freeing and sometimes sharing those things helps us all the way around.

So tell me, what are just not into right now?
