Books and Overdrive

My time on leave is coming to an end. Our nanny begins next week! I've spent the majority of my time home recovering, adjusting to, and loving my two boys, but have also found time to listen to books. Being introduced to Overdrive and wireless earbuds have been a big paradigm shift for me-- I've enjoyed listening to books while caring for sweet baby James. I feel a little late to the party, but here are my tips!

How to use Overdrive to read or listen to library books for free: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1dtTWy66GScAJMP2rW-1MHc92nWAxuQcw367AiIb2_aU/edit?usp=sharing

Use Goodreads.com to track books to you want to read (My account: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/21405928-marissa-twitchell).

A few books I've read in the past couple years that I've really loved:




Have you read any of these books? What have you read that you enjoyed?

Thanks and happy reading,
-Mrs. M

Camping Adventure at Penrose Point State Park

This past weekend Mr. D and I went camping at Penrose Point State Park with a family we have been friends with for almost three years! We decided to carpool there together with our camping gear and all seven of us in their van. After we got there, we made hotdogs for dinner, s’mores and cobbler for dessert, and enjoyed spending time together in front of the campfire. The following morning we walked over to the water and had fun discovering crabs in the rocks. Here are some of the photos from the trip: Checking out an alive sand dollar  Looking for crabs on the water  Crazy tree and roots This was the website we used to book the reservation: https://washington.goingtocamp.com/PenrosePointStatePark -Mr. D and Mrs. M

Our Backyard Chicken Adventure

Back in February I told David we should get chickens! He told me the egg shortage would end soon and that we wouldn't save any money having chickens. He was 100% right (there are a lot of fixed costs with raising chickens like building a coop and run, but afterwards the expenses are not too bad) and the chickens have been a lot of fun. Turns out there was a lot I didn't know about chickens and I greatly enjoyed learning about them!  For example, I learned the following: Why are grocery store eggs white? Most eggs we eat come from white leghorn chickens, which lay white eggs, but different chicken breeds lay different colors. Meat Chickens vs. Egg Chickens - Humans have cared for chickens for a long time. Some chickens are bred for their meat (think Cornish cross) and others for their eggs. David and I are not excited about processing chickens, so instead we went for chickens that are egg layers. Egg production vs. Collecting the rainbow of egg colors - We decided we wanted a mi...

Neil's friends visit

  Our friends from Seattle were in town visiting for a work conference in Park City and they stopped by our home and stayed with us for a day. We loved seeing them and getting to have our boys play together. There was a lot to do at our home-- play with legos, practice baseball, enjoy the chickens, and read together. Hope to have them visit again next time they are here for a work trip or to ski.
