What I've Been Up To...

I saw Brett Young in concert with my friend, Lisa. Tyler Rich & Rachel Wammack opened up for him and they were all amazing. Aside from the Kenny Chesney concerts, I've attended, this is definitely one of the best concerts I've been to. I spent a Sunday with my bestie, A. We went to Target, got takeout hibachi, decorated her new condo, listened to Christmas music and chatted, and we baked and decorated Christmas cookies with her son, B! I attended Winter Planner Land. I've attended this conference all three years and it's so amazing every time! My niece/God-daughter O, celebrated her 13th birthday. That same day, it marked 12 years since I met my favorite athlete, David Wright. After work one day, we had our staff holiday dinner at a local restaurant. At work, we had our holiday program where my class sang songs for their parents. After the program, we had a party for the kids and parties back in our classroom.We also had our Polar Express Day where we all wear pajamas to work and watch the Polar Express with all of the different age groups. For snack, we have hot chocolate for the kids and they make their own s'mores.

What I'm Dreading...

The Christmas season ending for the year. I always get so bummed right after the Christmas season because you go for a long time with all of this festiveness and then just like that, in a blink of an eye, it's over for another year.

What I'm Working On... 

Nothing at the moment.

What I'm Excited About...

I was so excited for all of the things I mentioned in the What I've Been Up To section. I'm excited for Christmas and my birthday.

Books Read in February 2022

  The Code For Love & Heartbreak -Jillian Cantor I saw this book on sale for $10 and thought it looked interesting. It was a cute story line. A little repetitive at places but overall I enjoyed it. I rated it 3 stars on the Goodreads website. When Less Becomes More -Emily Ley I love Emily Ley's books and I had the pleasure of meeting her at one of the Wild For Planners Go Wild Planner conferences. She is super sweet! I really enjoy her personal development books. I rated this book 3 stars. Heartstopper (Volume 4) -Alice Oseman I love this series so much. I love graphic novels and I really wish my library had more of them. I rated this book 4 stars. Bad Moms -Nora McInerny I like this movie (and the sequel A Bad Mom's Christmas) and I saw this at a discount store and I had no idea it was made into a novel. I enjoyed it. It wasn't my favorite book ever since I knew everything that happened since it stuck very close to the movie. I rated it 3 stars. Life, Unscheduled -K...

Books Read in January 2022

  Heartstopper (Volume 3) -Alice Oseman While I was back home visiting my family for Christmas, I went to the mall with my dad and my nephews but I've been dealing with some health issues and my pain was really bad that day (and the mall was super crowded) so I ended up sitting in a chair at Barnes & Noble and reading the first two volumes of the Heartstopper series while they were shopping. I like this series. I love graphic novels but my library system doesn't have a lot of the ones I want to read and I will not buy graphic novels because I read them in a day. I rated this book 3 stars. Blame It On The Mistletoe -Beth Garrod I absolutely adored and loved this book so much. The characters, the plot, the setting... I loved it all. I rated this book 5 stars. Adequate Yearly Progress -Roxanna Elden I did not enjoy this book at all. I rated it 1 star. All I Want For Christmas -Wendy Loggia This is another super cute Christmas novel. I wasn't able to get to all of the Chr...
