What happens when a top-notch book podcaster gathers 50+ of her author guests to write essays about motherhood during quarantine? In short, Moms Don’t Have Time To: A quarantine anthology, edited by Zibby Owens. If you’ve been a frequent follower of this blog you might recognize that name. Zibby first appeared on “the gift of story” in 2019 as #1 of 11 Entertaining Bookish Podcasts and then again in 2020 as the expert in the Ask the Expert: Finding Time to Read More. I’m thrilled to share this collection of essays about reading, parenting, sleeping, exercising, you name it…there’s probably an essay. The writers within include the likes of Evangeline Lilly, Chris Bohjalian, and Gretchen Rubin. All proceeds from the sale of the book go to CoVid research. The perfect gift for any mom on your list.
Looking for something to pair with the book? Every mom needs a quiet cup of tea now and again to stay sane. This box of English Breakfast Tea contains 25 bags that are individually tagged with literary quotes from modern American classics.
And to complete the literary care package…Help the mom on your gift list keep track of time with this Kate Spade watch. It has three hands and a brown leather strap. I just love the unique handwritten watch face.
