The Nutshell Librarian

"The Nutshell Librarian" is a collection of musings and experiences spanning my life both before and after the birth of my daughter (lovingly referred to as Little A in these posts). I guess it is kind of a "mom blog" because that's my main priority these days, but I swear I am an interesting person outside of my "M.O.M" identity, and I hope you think so, too.

The Nut originally began as weekly emails written in the voice of my baby daughter. I send out one update per week to my and my husband's families because we live all on our lonesome out in California. These comic musings are part of how we maintain a community of relatives who are involved in all of the wonderful little things that happen with our little girl as she grows up on the other side of the country. I have included excerpts from my favorite emails here.

The Library is a place where I leave reviews of the children's books Little A and I are reading. I absolutely adore children's literature, so it is always a treat to share our favorites with other readers.
