Welcome! I’m Beth.

I'm a wife, a mom, a former English teacher and librarian, and a writer. The Friday Joy Blog is dedicated to all things that bring me joy--big or small: Navigating motherhood and being 40-something, great quotes, trying out new habits, finding great recipes, new and favorite beauty products, "Deep Thoughts," writing prompts, adding books to my TBR list, and setting new goals! Basically, this is a blog about the things I’m thinking about and trying out. I hope you’ll find something here to inspire or encourage you. I love connecting with readers! You can reach me by leaving a comment on one of the blog posts, or by e-mailing me at fridayjoyblog@gmail.com.

Thank you so much for reading!
