Cross-post from The Dream Baby Press Substack
Hi everyone and happy Friday! I was delighted to be share some of my likes/dislikes with the legendary publication Dream Baby Press. It was weirdly hard to come up with things I absolutely hate -- guess I'm not as much of a hater as I used to be (growth!) -- but the love list could have gone on for ages. I mean, I didn't even get into women's basketball (wishing Juju the best on her recovery) or my favorite plants (lilac season is almost upon us!). Enjoy and happy weekend <3 -
