My secret to staying on top of it all? Evernote.com! It's my go-to digital scrapbook for everything from book lists and talk ideas to research leads and travel inspo. Seriously, there's room for it all! #organized #workingmom #busysurgeon #gettingitalldone

My kids think I have endless ideas for getting them to read (and they're probably right! 😉). Stumbled upon some great book ideas while organizing Evernote that I think other parents might love for summer reading! 📚✨ #ReadAcrossAmerica #BookLover #KeepReading #StoriesMatter
