Welcome to Quotes to Read Now – a space designed for readers of all ages and stages to find encouragement, guidance, solace, and a bit of wisdom for the journey.

Hi there! I’m Erin, a mom of three, avid reader, journal enthusiast, and lover of all things creative. When I’m not running after my little ones or getting lost in the pages of a book, you can find me here, sharing stories, ideas, and thoughts from the heart. My hope is that this blog will be a place where you can pause, find a little inspiration, and maybe even something that makes you smile.

Over the years, I’ve poured my love for writing into several blogs, including:

• xoxoerinsmith.com – A personal journey of life, love, and motherhood.

• bookstogoread.com – A haven for fellow book lovers seeking their next great read.

• craftykidsblog.com – Where creativity takes center stage with fun, kid-friendly projects.

• virginiafamilyfun.org – Your go-to guide for family-friendly adventures across Virginia.

Here are a few of my favorite quotes that inspire my writing and life:

• “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” – Abraham Lincoln

• “It’s not what we have in life, but who we have in our life that matters.” – Unknown

• “Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.” – Mason Cooley

Whether you’re here for some helpful tips, a good book recommendation, or simply a kind word, I’m so glad you’ve stopped by. I hope you’ll find what you’re looking for and leave feeling a little more encouraged than when you arrived.

Stay a while, and let’s walk this road together.

With love,
Erin
