This month, we’re revisiting the book that basically built Beth’s personality and set the bar for her entire aesthetic. Join us as we read Let’s Go All Around the Neighborhood by Patricia "Patty" Thomas, a sweet, breezy little story about a day of city errand-running that somehow manages to hold an entire childhood inside its pages.

What starts as a simple stroll through the neighborhood turns into a full nostalgia deep dive as we swap stories about playground antics, library obsessions, corner stores, and the unintentional comedy that only kids can deliver.

To round it all out, we’re sipping on a Neighborhood Stroll…classic, balanced, and just tart enough to keep things interesting. Come wander the block with us.
