Great articles to read with friends

10 October 2017

Articles Club is tonight, and it’s a special one — our two year anniversary! This group is always a highlight of my month. Last year I shared a bunch of the articles we read in our first year, and I thought it would be fun to do so again!

I included tips for hosting your own club in that first post, too — the only difference is that now we eat dinner together instead of snacks! In January we got to talking about lasagna, and I insisted on making my favorite recipe to share its glory with the group. After we realized it’s even MORE fun to chat over a delicious meal, we never looked back! So far, we’ve done Mexican (several times!), Greek, Indian, and American cookout :)

And don’t think you’d be the only one — after the similar post I wrote last year, three new ladies emailed and joined our group! Just send me an email :)

Love our Articles Club and the genuine discussion we have each month. I learn so much from everyone and always feel like I leave a little bit wiser. :)

I have been trying (and failing) to get reconnected with my old book club, but I just can’t seem to finish the book before the meeting! But an article? I can read that during nap time! :) I’m going to email you!
