Category: It’s Monday What Are You Reading

Well, it’s been a better week this week! My allergies are still awful, but I’m dealing with them. We had a great weekend – it’s finally sunny here, so we all got out into the garden and worked on tidying it up, planting a few things and adding some fresh compost to the soil in READ MORE

It has been quite the week this week! I had two visits from family members, which was wonderful. I especially loved seeing my kiddo enjoy spending time with grandparents and watching how beautifully close those relationships are, despite physical distance. We also had our pond drainage fixed, so our koi and goldfish are finally back READ MORE

It’s been another busy week – spring break is in full swing, in addition to which our fish pond that we inherited when we moved stopped draining – just in time for absolutely torrential downpours that had it overflowing into the yard. So we spent the weekend trying to pump the water out of the READ MORE

Another busy week – last one before spring break for my kid, husband was away for a bit, there was a field trip… just life stuff. Nothing major, but not a lot of reading time. Next couple of weeks aren’t looking too good either! But I did finish one book, so let’s take a look READ MORE

Another busy week during which reading wasn’t at the top of my list! I did a little bit, but mostly I’ve been trying to get on top of things around the house, keep up with homeschool and crocheting bookmarks for my kid who has become a constant and voracious reader! (I might share some photos READ MORE

It’s been a week. Not terrible, but a little full on. I spent an extra few hours driving to prepare for an unfamiliar and busy route to a field trip my kid was going on, which was super stressful as it involved bumper-to-bumper traffic as 5 lanes merged into 2…. on a bridge. Not my READ MORE

Not the best reading week this week – it was a bit of an emotional one. We had a family member in surgery (went well and all is fine) which was a bit preoccupying. We also had an earthquake on Friday not too far from us, and we felt it. There was a loud bang READ MORE

I’ve had a decent week, not as much reading, but enough that I finished a book or two. I (as usual) left my Valentine’s Day preparations for my kiddo until the last minute, so I had a couple of late nights trying to finish some crochet and sewing stuff! I finished 3 out of 4 READ MORE

It’s been a busy week, mostly because my kid has been home from school all week since it’s been snowing a lot! School was canceled for a couple of days, then I wasn’t comfortable driving (still a new driver). We did have a wonderful dragon day inspired by Erin and Wyatt at Still Life, With READ MORE

Another up and down week, but what other kind are there? My kid is sick again, but it’s just a cold and is getting better. I had my eyes checked this week which lost me a day of reading because the dilation always gives me achy eyes and head for a full day afterwards and READ MORE

I haven’t gotten as much reading done this week, not really sure why. I’ve been watching more TV than last week and feeling pretty tired and low on energy. The end of the week brought a tweaked back, which isn’t a new experience, but is difficult each time it happens. Mostly it’s just a matter READ MORE

Another week where I actually did get some reading done! And I enjoyed all three of the books I finished. Not feeling fully immersed in anything currently, but hoping I’ll find something tomorrow that’ll get its hooks in! Most of the weekend was spend on school work, so didn’t get much done over the weekend. READ MORE

Surprisingly, it’s been a very good reading week! I thought I’d be too busy/tired to read much, but I was lucky in picking a couple of books that immediately hooked me, so I was reading in any spare moment before I even noticed it! And I’ve found some great books that I’m super excited to READ MORE

It’s been quite the week! We had new year’s, which the adults in the house don’t give a f*** about, but the tiny one wanted to try and stay up for, which very nearly happened! Ask me how that felt the next day. Then we had some fun playdates and catch ups, visited family, ran READ MORE

Well, we made it through Christmas week (if you celebrate it too), so congratulations to all of us, particularly the parents who had so much organizing and preparing to do that you feel like someone gave you a lobotomy when you weren’t looking. New year’s doesn’t mean much to me now that I’m ancient, but READ MORE

I didn’t manage to write a post last week but! I finished a thing! And I finished another thing this week! So that’s TWO THINGS! *pats self on back firmly* Hopefully this means I’m getting back on track, but as it’s still hols and Christmas is in a few days (!) I’m not going to READ MORE

  It’s been another busy week and, as usual, I’ve not had much time for reading. But my mum was here to visit, and we went to the library with my kid and they each found something to read, came home, and instantly curled up on the sofa to start reading. They’ve pretty much kept READ MORE
