The early mornings are cooling down and I’m taking advantage.
Someone asked me once why I enjoy hiking. And i think my answer would be, because it helps me appreciate nature, it clears my head, and gets me to exercise. The sky is so big in Arizona, I love it here.
(Thanks @jmeewong for the very awesome mug!)

We opened @rrremylai’s newest mg graphic novel, Ghost Book, on Tuesday. And within 24 hours, all 4 members of my family had read it individually.
We devoured it like hungry ghosts. 👻
Loved everything about it! The cute Floof, the significance of July’s name and existence, the feel-good friendship, the adventure!, the funny faces (trademark of Remy), and of course, the scary hungry ghosts.
Must read!! Five stars!!!
