The Lily Cafe Weekly Highlights – September 4, 2026
At Home
This was a fast week, and this weekend is a long one for my kids. They’re off today and Monday, which will be nice because they can help keep the kittens in check! It’s been so busy all week, and the cats have decided it’s the perfect time to get back into jumping on everything and otherwise getting into trouble.
I’ve been tired, but the weather is finally nice again. It looks like it’ll get warm again next week, but it shouldn’t be over 100 like last week. I’m really enjoying the nicer weather, and so are the cats. When they’re cool and comfortable, they’re really active. Oh, maybe it’s a bad thing it’s not hot.
Anyways, the kids are doing well. My daughter’s class did a book tasting, an annual thing the 4th grade teachers do to introduce different genres. It kicks off their 40 book challenge. My son refused to take part, but my daughter seems interested. It’ll be a fun challenge, and she’s already picked out a couple of books she wants to read.
What I’ve Read
I really enjoyed Silk and Sensibility by Mengxi Seeley. It read like a cross between Sense and Sensibility and an historical Chinese drama. I had so much fun with it. Who knew Regency England and the Ming Dynasty worked so well together?
In progress: Eat, Drink, and Get Buried by Cleo Coyle
This is the 22nd installment in the Coffeehouse Mystery series, featuring Clare, who runs the historic Village Blend coffee shop in NYC, as she solves murder mysteries alongside her Village Blend team, her NYPD detective fiance, her former mother-in-law (who owns the coffee shop), and sometimes her ex-husband. This one brings her adult daughter Joy home for a party her best friend is throwing for her boyfriend, but, of course, someone dies and Clare is determined to get to the bottom of it. I love this series, and am torn between tearing through this or savoring it.
Kids’ Reading Corner
The 7th Grader: He has no books in progress at the moment, but he’s doing plenty of math…
The 4th Grader: Thanks to the book tasting her class did the other day, she has a couple of books she wants to check out from the library. Otherwise I believe she’s reading about unicorn princesses right now.
The Kitchen
Even though we had pleasant weather and a working oven, I did not manage to bake anything. This week was too busy, but my son keeps saying he wants to make brownies.
The Writing Lounge
I barely managed to get this written, and my posts for Monday and Tuesday, so there wasn’t too much writing going on this week. Between people coming to work on the house, give us quotes, and appointments, there were days I barely checked my email.
Featured Posts From the Cafe
This week I shared my thoughts on historical fantasy thanks to Fantasy with Friends and my reviews for Morfran, Dark Lord Reformed by S.B. West and An Empire in the Clouds by Ai Jiang.
Blog Stats and Other Interesting Things
As much fun as this section has been, I’ve decided to retire it for the time being because 1) it’s kind of a pain to do and 2) I’m currently in my “I don’t really care about stats” phase (I cycle back and forth, so this section might return one day).
Featured Blog Post
Each week I aim to share my favorite post of the week. But, as my brain is increasingly cluttered with manuscript-related things and I’m getting increasingly sidetracked by my backyard as it’s gone from dead to wildflowery to I’m worried it’s overgrowing, I’ll be taking a break from this section.
If you would be so kind, one of my best friends is an artist and recently opened her online store. If you like LGBTQ art, take a look: Sunlight & Sky.
See you next week, and thanks for reading!

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐦🌱 A #VirginiaTech-led study surveyed about bird feeding in Project FeederWatch, asking people how the routine affected them.
At season’s end 95% said feeding and watching #birds had positively shaped their well-being. Respondents described the effect through #emotions such as joy and calm, engagement like building identification skills, and a felt sense of meaning.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: ☀️🧴 A #JAMA #Dermatology meta-analysis pooled 17 studies covering more than 321,000 people and found that a history of painful, blistering sunburns raised the odds of squamous cell carcinoma by 51% to 69%, with severe #childhood burns linked to up to three times the risk.
Researchers caution that the evidence is uncertain because it relies on people recalling past burns. The study reinforces #sun protection such as Slip, Slop, Slap for #kids and #teens.

Conflicted
I am conflicted and I always get into this state when the kids are involved.
When my step daughter moved away to college in 2019 I was conflicted. On the one hand, I wanted her to go away to school and have a fantastic experience and learn a ton and make new friends and start her life and have everything be amazing. On the other hand I wanted her to stay home with us forever.
Two years later when my step son went away to college it was the same thing. I wanted him to go to school and have the time of his life and learn incredible things and have adventures and excitement and make memories that would last a lifetime while also not wanting him to leave us, ever.
In May of 2025 my step daughter moved home. She graduated and worked a two year contract at the University. When the contract ended she came home to live with us while she figured out her next move. The next move was grad school, but she had to work out the details. It took a little more than a year, but next month she is going to start school in California.
I am so excited for her I could burst… again… just like 2019. Just like my step son in 2021. I fear I might spontaneously combust out of excitement for her future. She’s going to finish grad school with a PHD and then every time I see her I will ask her, “what’s up, doc?” and it will be epic and no one will ever get tired of that stupid Bugs Bunny joke and we will always laugh and it will be perfect.
Also, I don’t want her to move. I mean, I thought moving from Massachusetts to Vermont was bad… California? No way!
She’ll still be here for a few more weeks, but the next milestone in the moving process happened today…

It’s time to start packing. I’m excited and sad at the same time, but what else is new?

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 📱🧠 An eight-year Finnish #study followed 260 #children to see how physical activity and #screentime related to later cognitive processing.
More screen time correlated with better #teen cognitive performance, tied to the type of screen use rather than duration. Physical activity benefits also differed by gender, with light activity helping working #memory in #girls.
