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 […]
Happy Tuesday y’all! This week’s topic is “Holiday Reads” aka the type of books you like reading this time of year. For me, I stick to winter themed, holiday romances. Most of the year I read fantasy and science fiction and not a lot of contemporary. But during the holidays it is my go-to genre. […]
Amanda’s Weekly Update Hiieeee! It’s been a minute since I’ve updated everyone! Things have been weird, but I’m here and stuff. So, this is my family’s busiest season, which I’m sure I’ve said before. I’ve also been going through some family things on top of my kids being sick, which has been hard to deal […]
Happy Sunday y’all! The last two weeks have been a little crazy. Halloween was a success. Little man went as Willy Wonka, and if you ask me, it’s his best costume yet. He was so cute! But I’m biased. This past week we went on a walking historical tour of our town on a field […]
Happy Tuesday y’all! This week’s topic is “Halloween Freebie.” Over the last five years, I’ve had fun with this freebie. The first year I focused on spooky children’s books and movies to read/watch with the kids. The second year were Halloween themed treats courtesy of Pinterest (some are great and I make yearly). The third […]
Happy Sunday y’all! We had a rather chill week compared to last week. That is until the weekend 🤦🏼♀️ My grandmother fell at her home on Friday. She has dementia, and if you know anyone with dementia than you know they can be stubborn (like dealing with a toddler at times stubborn) when they want […]
Amanda’s Weekly Update This week has been a lot of madness, which I feel like is typical in this season. Tuesday I went to Richmond to train with my coach. Turns out, I didn’t lose as much strength as I thought this last month, with all the training I missed! That makes me happy. Two […]
Happy Sunday y’all! You know all that stuff I said I was going to get done this week? Yeah didn’t happen 😅 We went on a mini-vacation in the middle of the week, had a blast, and came back exhausted. So not much has gotten done. But that’s okay. We spent some time in one […]
Happy Tuesday y’all! This week’s topic is “Character Traits I Love.” Below is a list of my favorite character traits and a ten characters/books to go with them, in no particular order. As always titles/covers link to Goodreads/Blog/Amazon(aff). My Favorite Characters Traits Sassy: I love a sassy character combined with dry humor. I like to […]
Amanda’s Weekly Update So we made it home safe and sound from TN. We are still recovering…at least one of my kids was sick THE WHOLE TIME. The baby (my 18-month-old son) is still battling whatever-it-is. A virus of some kind. He’s just super whiny…it’s like man flu, but he’s a squishy baby. 😥 However, […]
