Today is only the last day of March….y’all I feel like 2020 should be over! This year is dragging by. The first quarter (excluding COVID-19) saw a lot of changes in my life. We decided to homeschool our son, and I started that in January. A week later my husband’s job was caught in corporate […]
Happy Monday y’all! I’m so excited to be participating in Because Reading‘s #COYER challenge. This was the first reading challenge I ever joined back when I was still a baby blogger in 2014. This challenge is more than just cleaning out your e-reader, it’s a way to meet and interact with other bloggers which while […]
Happy Sunday y’all! What an interesting few weeks it’s been since my last post. Spring has been interesting to say the least. In my area of the world, all nonessential businesses are now closed until at least April 13th, schools are closed and people are doing distance learning at home until at least the 24th, […]
Happy Sunday y’all! I don’t know about you, but I could’ve used that extra hour of sleep today. I am dragging! I’ve been battling a cold this week that is most likely just allergies. You know when you live in a place that it’s thirty degrees one day and in the 70s the next, where […]
Happy Sunday y’all! I can’t believe February has already come and gone. What a month! Little man turned nine last month, and I don’t know why that makes me so weepy….actually yes, I do. We are halfway to adulthood 😢 I’m proud of the man he is becoming, but I really wish time would slow […]
Happy Sunday y’all! This last week was, I want to say busy, but it really wasn’t. It just felt busy. I’m still trying to get into a good routine with homeschooling. The school part we’ve got down. It’s everything else that’s falling behind (like laundry and grocery shopping, the things I did while he was […]
Happy Sunday y’all! So I was going to talk about what a great week it was, how I’m all ready for homeschooling tomorrow, and that I got a lot of reading done. All of that is true…except the week ended not at all how I expected. On Friday, my husband went to work as normal, […]
Happy Sunday y’all and Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s not only the start of another year but also a new decade. A friend of mine shared a meme on Facebook this week that said it is now the same amount of time since 1990 as it is 2050. I mean that really put […]
Happy New Year y’all! As I look back on 2019, I can honestly say that it was a good year. That doesn’t mean it was without its own storms, but overall it was a good year. I found a reading groove again. I’m finally enjoying reading and blogging after two years of it feeling like […]
Amanda’s Weekly Update The end of a Christmas-y week! We put up our tree and have been watching Christmas movies (Thank you Disney+). We took the kids to the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens in Richmond this week. The kids flipped. We walked under the lights, they played in the lit structures, we sipped hot chocolate […]
