Living a Joyful Life

  What We're Eating This Week... Monday: Pizza Tuesday: Caesar Salad Wednesday: Fajitas Thursday: Baked ziti Friday: Leftovers I'm not sure about Saturday & Sunday What I'm Reminiscing About... I have been looking at photos of my nieces and nephews from when they were younger and thinking of all the special memories we shared. What I'm Loving... I've been loving all the football. I really wanted the Buffalo Bills to make it into the Superbowl but sadly they did not. I've also been loving: reading, cuddles with my cats, filming for my Youtube channel, watching my nephew Nicky's basketball games (on streaming). What I've Been Up To... My mom had surgery on her foot so I've been taking care of her. I've also been watching lots of movies, TV shows, and sports. My niece came home from college for a weekend and we went to the bookstore and had coffee there and got some books. I purchased some books for myself and two books for my niece. Credit: Pip...

  Here are the books I read in December: All the Jingle Ladies -Beth Garrod My Rating: 4 stars This book was so fun and cute and I enjoyed it a lot. This author had a Christmas novel come out a few years ago called Blame It on the Mistletoe , which is a fun read too. Some Like It Cold –Elle McNicoll My Rating: 4 stars I didn’t know when I purchased this book but the female main character is on the Autism Spectrum. As a woman on the Autism Spectrum it was so refreshing and unique to see a female main character on the Spectrum. I really loved this book a lot. I could relate to a lot of the things that the main character talked about in regards to being on the Spectrum. I loved the characters in this book.
