Phew! Our foster family of four, the Weasleys, went to their forever homes last week. They’re all the most adorable things ever and it’s been amazing to watch them grow, but I’m still happy that the number of cats in our home is going down. The money we’ll save on litter alone!
However, kitten season is upon us. My foster group has already had a bunch of neonatal orphans come in, and it’s only March!
You don’t need a lot to start fostering. Some people keep kittens in their bathroom, or even their closet! Our local shelter helps out by giving as many supplies as they can to fosters, as well, so no one’s ever filed for bankruptcy over the amount a nursing mother eats. (It’s a lot. They’re not eating for two, they’re eating for four! Or seven!)
However, since we started fostering almost a year ago, I’ve come across a few extra bonus items that help make fostering even easier, or at least smoother. They’re definitely non-standard, but I’d fight anyone who tried to take them away.

Aloha everyone!
In case you hadn’t noticed, we’ve moved! Just a little, but it’s really exciting! That’s right–I have a website!
How did this come about, considering I’ve been putting it off for literal years? Let me give you a hint:
Bess’ Book Recs: The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare
Let’s talk books I love.
As I’ve mentioned in the past, I always planned on having a massive library. Throughout my life I collected over 2,000 books and dreamed of a two-story library–or at least one big enough to get that cool rolly ladder like Belle had. Then we bought a house, renovated the two-car garage into the library of my dreams and….we were miserable.
Since then I’ve pared my collection down to under 500 books (not without tears, but all for to the best). That kind of cut means that only my absolute favorites are still in my care–or, more accurately, the ones I reread more than any others.
Today I want to tell you about the first book I’ve bought in a while:
