Life in my world is FULL — in the very best way.
I’m raising five children, running more than a few businesses, working to keep my marriage full of sparks, and constantly juggling all the beautiful, messy, everyday moments that come with that kind of life.
And in the middle of all that?
Books are where I pause.
Diving into a good book gives me space to breathe. It slows everything down just enough to remind me who I am beyond the to-do lists. Reading fills me with inspiration, perspective, and a quiet sense of magic — the kind that makes ordinary days feel meaningful again.
Tess’ Book Club is a collection of books and authors I genuinely love. These are stories that have stayed with me — books that feel cozy, thoughtful, inspiring, or transporting. Some comfort me, some challenge me, and some simply make life feel a little more beautiful.
At The Print Shop, my hope has always been to elevate the everyday.
To encourage you to make your own magic.
To romanticize your life — even (and especially) in the small moments.
Lighting a candle.
Setting a beautiful table.
Sitting down with a book, even if it’s just for ten minutes.
This book club is an extension of that philosophy. If a book here inspires you to slow down, dream a little bigger, or carve out a moment just for yourself — then it’s done its job.
xoxo,
Tess 🤍
P.S. YOU have to romanticize your life. No one else will do that for you.
