The highlight for me of this interview was the praise and gratitude Molly gave to her mother for moving to be nearby. Grandparents being close by can be a great boon to all three generations.
I loved the last comment ! I too am a homebody and catch alot of grief from my friends ( " why don't you want to travel ? Why don't you ....?). Molly captured exactly how I feel in this regard. I'm newly retired and just want to live in my everyday life.
So delighted to see one of my favorite authors alongside my favorite author/interviewer! Molly, my copy of A Homemade Life is dog-eared as hell, covered in stains, with tons of loose pages trying to escape. Jimmy’s Big Pink Cookies have been a staple in our house for well over a decade of celebrations, right alongside the no-excuses-required average day. I’m halfway through The Fixed Stars and am loving getting to know you more through it. Thanks for all of it, Molly. ❤️
This was a lovely read from start to finish! As a 72 yr old grandma who left NY and moved to Portland, OR to be near my son and grandsons, I was teary eyed reading about your wonderful Mom. My days with my family are the best very good ordinary loving days I could ever have dreamed of! 🥰🥰. Generosity sure does lead to abundance!
O goodness, the part about your mom made me weepy. So beautiful. I love this interview and could feel the wind on your bike with the wadded up sweatshirt. What a great description 🚲 📚✨ Thanks for sharing, Molly and Jane! 💓
a very good ordinary every day- I didn't know that was my goal until I saw this written down. YES. This is exactly the life I strive for every day. Thank you so much Molly!
"But I have worked hard, and continue to work hard, to make choices that align with this kind of life, a very good ordinary every day."
Yes. That's my bucket list, right there.
This is such a great series.

Such a great quote about women living in patriarchal societies 👏
So much generosity in these gorgeous words. Taking a long hard look at my days x
interview perfection! as a longtime reader (and fan) of Molly's, I couldn't open this email fast enough
What a treat to read on a Monday morning. I love Molly!
I watched the horse video 3 times… SO GOOD! All of it. Thank you!
I love that quote "A very good ordinary every day."
Really enjoyed this interview. I couldn't agree more with "a very good ordinary every day."
