Last weekend, Marcus tried to convince me that his new cardboard rocket ship could actually fly. As I watched him "blast off" into the living room wall, I couldn't help but smile. It's moments like these that remind me of the joy in simple things. And speaking of joy, I recently picked up Colossal (Big Boys) by Jessa Kane. This book was like that unexpected burst of laughter during a quiet afternoon—fun, surprising, and just what I needed.
