Hello, 2022!
Brand new 365 days!
If you commit to reading a book for 15 minutes a day, you are about to invest 5,475 minutes this year.
That’s more than 228 hours in 2022.
More than enough to read 22 books, isn’t it?
While you are thinking about your very own reading list for 2022, we are happy to share ours.
As you can see, this year for us is mostly about parenting! And we are super excited to learn more about the things we can do to help our children grow into resilient, confident and self-driven adults.
