May/June 2023
It’s mid-May, a time that feels like life is set to fast-forward, the momentum toward school’s end unavoidable. Summer is coming and, for many, carefully crafted schedules and guaranteed childcare will evaporate like hot air over pavement. I both dread and look forward to the summer months. I’m grateful to no longer be packing lunches and rushing out the door each morning, but I also struggle with the constantly changing schedule, with different camp pickup and drop-off times, and then vacations that are fun but require planning and packing and a disruption to routine.
Whether your children are in the other room, or miles away from you, I hope you can find a quiet place to sit down and immerse yourself in the words and musings of your fellow mothers. It is always such a joy to review each issue before we publish, and marvel at how Literary Mama editors across time zones select and polish such beautiful work.
