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.

What I'm Dreading...

The constant pain in my hip. It's a daily struggle.

What I'm Working On...

I'm planning out my content for my Youtube channel for February.

What I'm Excited About...

I'm hoping that once my mom's fully healed from her surgery, her foot pain will be gone and she'll be feeling better.

What I'm Watching/Reading...

Watching: College football, NFL, Nicky's basketball games, Hallmark movies

Reading: I read 5 Christmas books this month (well I'm almost finished with book 5, I'll have it finished either today or tomorrow) and I'm finished with the Christmas books on my TBR for this season.

What I'm Listening To...

I gave my Christmas playlist one last listen. (I try to make the Christmas season last as long as possible.) I've also been listening to George Birge & Morgan Wallen.

What I'm Doing This Weekend...

I don't have any plans aside from watching the NFL Pro Bowl game and skills show on Sunday. I also want to film some videos for my Youtube channel.

What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month...

My brother, nephew M, Grandma, and my friend April all have birthdays next month. My cat, my baby boy, Davey Eli turns 17 on Valentine's Day.

This is Davey at the vet before we brought him home. I get very emotional thinking about his age.

What Else Is New...

If you are on Youtube, I would love it if you would subscribe to my Youtube channel. I'm trying to grow my channel.

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...

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...

Books Read In December 2021 & End of Year Book Survey

In December, I read 6 books. The first three books I read are apart of a series. The series is called Moose Springs, Alaska by Sarah Morgenthaler. I rated all three of these books 3 stars on the Goodreads website. This was a super cute series. I really enjoyed these books. They were fun, light reads. I think the fourth book in the series comes out in 2021. Book 1: The Tourist Attraction Book 2: Mistletoe & Mr. Right Book 3: Enjoy The View The Holiday Switch -Tif Marcelo I loved this book so much. It was such a cute, fun, and festive read. This is on my list of my favorite books I've read this year. I rated this book 4 stars. The last two books I read this month are also apart of a series. I rated both of them 3 stars. Heartstopper (Volume 1) & Heartstopper (Volume 2) -Alice Oseman Top 10 Favorite Books of the Year: 1. Malibu Rising –Taylor Jenkins Reid 2. ...
