Welcome to Bug Bug!

 

I’m Lorilin, a stay-at-home mom in Chicago who reads books to stay sane. Even though I spend most of my day looking after my lovely and wild children, I always make time to read—mostly fiction, wellness, and memoir, with a few cookbooks and gardening books thrown in the mix.

I rate all books on a scale of one to five ladybugs, so my favorites will have these little guys floating by the title 🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy reading!

This is the first year I’m listening to the advice of @roy_diblik_ (author of THE KNOW MAINTENANCE GARDEN) and turning my clean yard waste directly back into nourishing mulch. All you have to do is make piles of fallen leaves and then mow over them with your regular lawnmower. Then you can redistribute the leaf pieces wherever you want. I kept most of mine on the lawn, but I also put a lot in a back corner of my property that is honest-to-God pure clay soil 😵‍💫 and needs A LOT of organic matter. We’ll see if it makes a difference come spring, but I’m pretty happy with myself right now, can’t lie. What do you do to get your yard winter ready?
REPEAT AFTER ME…
AFTER is a book I read after my FIL passed away last year. It’s a fascinating exploration of what happens to our consciousness after we die (spoiler alert: it probably doesn’t just cease to exist). Psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Bruce Greyson has collected and studied decades-worth of data from people who were pronounced clinically dead but then came back. This isn’t a woo-woo New Age-type book. It is well researched and beautifully articulated by someone with many, many years of experience in this pioneering field.
🏳️‍🌈 Well, my friends, this is a big post for me today. At the beginning of the year, my daughter came out. Honestly, I didn’t see it coming. I was surprised. Of course supportive, but also…really surprised. And as my daughter has told more people, I find myself feeling obligated to answer their questions. Isn’t she too young to know? What if she changes her mind? My answers:  I don’t know, maybe, maybe not. And so what if she does?
