I am already so in love with July, you guys. Here’s why:
- Say- just say- I was gonna leave Chicago for five weeks this summer. This is what our breakup/get-back-together would look like.
- For research (and for Chicago Parent), I stayed in the nicest place ever, ever, ever. You are welcome, locals.
- My darling friend Alison featured Nora & Zu in her article on summer fun for Everyday Family! (And they’re supra-cute, too. Yeah, I’m biased.)
- Blogging ruins your children. Here is proof.
- Remember how excited I was to get a freelance job from the Chicago Tribune? And remember when I was so daft that I missed its print publication? (Yeah.)
- My Throwback Monday post showed that July of ’11…looked an awful lot like July of ’14.
And Chicago friends- I cannot say this enough- if you’re not eating at Hashbrowns, you should be. And if you want to be, but find yourself having to also feed a pesky child or two…fear not. Go there. Tell them “Lollygag Blog” in some way, shape or form. And get a free kid’s meal for each grownup meal purchased. IT IS SO GOOD GO THERE NOW. #notanad #iamnotgettingpaid #ijustlovethesepeopleandtheiraddictivesweetpotatohashbrowns
And NOW…
I am the happiest of happies to announce that Expecting: A Year of Fixing Up and Breaking Down is now available on e-book! (As of today, you have to go through the Lulu Marketplace to grab your copy- Amazon and Barnes & Noble are still forthcoming. Diggin’ on my summer-long roll out yet? Sheesh.)
This is what an e-book cover looks like. Rather one dimensional, no?
And for those of you who’d prefer a hard copy (and really, who could blame you?) head over here to get one and use either code INDIE for 15% off or JLS714 for free shipping.
May I be so bold as to ask for yet another favor? Pleasepleaseplease- if you’ve read either version- I’d love a few stars or a review thrown my way on the Lulu product page or on Goodreads! (And oh, you’ll be hearing from me again once it’s up on Amazon and B&N.) Who knows? You may even see your review on Expecting’s marketing page.
Unless it’s a super poor review. In that case, keep those feelings tiiightly locked away, yeah?
(And yes, I owe you another taco.)
