Weekend Reads No. 3 - Rhyme & Reason by Jillian

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday morning! I’ve had a great weekend with girlfriends. We celebrated in Newport with a girls’ dinner to cheers to our friend getting engaged last week and to gather since our friend was in town from law school. Then, on Saturday, we caravanned down to La Jolla for a beach bbq to celebrate our friend’s birthday. The beachy weekend was just what I needed after a busy week of prep and meetings for the new school year. I have my first day of work with my kindergartners tomorrow! I met all of them on Friday at my school’s Back to School Picnic and they were just adorable. Here’s to restful Sunday! I hope you enjoy my weekend reads.
