✔️ Continue slow daily Bible study
✔️ Read 50 YA/middle grade novels
✔️ Read one book set in a state not already on my location list (I read Hawaiian Quilt which was of course set in Hawaii)
✔️ Start nightly bedtime books back up. (We've missed a few nights here and there when Baby was exhausted and over it but otherwise we've read a board book or two each night )
