I think this is a great idea for a series. Those home details - we can all relate to it, no matter where we are. I like the writing and the narrator's voice, too - she reads well, a writer AND a reader.
However, I read another review of one of these pieces that I agree with - she does need to take just alittle more time. Putting in alot of sound isn't necessary in my opinion and it is not that she talks too fast - she mustn't slow that down - but she could be more deft with the beats - in the two pieces I heard, the end comes too fast.
This would program nicely in lots of places - listeners love stories well-written and well-read -they'd like this too. Good length!
