Wrap ups  /  April 16, 2016

More Books, New Cast and Anniversary Plans! {Weekly Wrap Up 105}

FacebookTweetPinEmailShares0

Weekly Wrap Up is a weekly post in which I recap posts, showcase new books and highlight what’s to come! Also, I share a pic of the week and share discussion posts that caught my eye*. Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s reviews & The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

Whew this week! I FINISHED A TWO BOOKS! *dances* It’s been a slow reading month, but with everything going on around here, that is to be expected!

In other news, the kiddo got another cast on. We (and by we I must but an emphasis on HE) was hoping for a short cast, but the cast was loose around his wrist and the bones weren’t strong enough to sustain it. I could go into all the details about that, but it makes me cringe. We are going to lacrosse today to show our support! I miss it! Our wedding anniversary is this coming Friday (the 22nd) and I’m excited to go see the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra!

Blog wish, things are pretty must normal around here. I have been messing around with many image design programs and think I found one I like. I love making blog graphics, even though I’m such a newbie. haha

I’m finally on the path to following one of my d I’m finally on the path to following one of my dreams.

I’m starting school next month to pursue my dream of becoming a Midwife. It’s been a long time dream since having my first son 17 years ago.

Even though I’m in my 30’s, I’m going for it. Don’t let anyone, especially YOU, stand in your way.

Hello there! 👋 Fancy an update? . I’ve been a Hello there! 👋 Fancy an update?
.
I’ve been a bit absent from Instagram for the past few weeks. There are a few reasons for this, and I wanted to update you and share them.

1) Imposter Syndrome — I’ve been dealing with feeling inadequate in all aspects of life & blogging. It’s a personal thing I’m working on, but the struggle is REAL.

2) Time — Working, blogging, self care, family... and trying to grow this page was becoming too much and I needed some time to regroup.

3) Reflection— again, I’ve been trying to do too much at once, and I’m not happy with the direction I was taking things. I’ve been using this time to focus on my direction and what I plan to do.

Building up our brand and profiles is hard work - I’ve always know this. But working through personal struggles while trying to find my purpose and direction has been hard, too.

Have I figured it all out? Not even a little bit. But I have a plan, a path, and a goal.

If you’re struggling, know you’re not alone! And I’m here to chat, too!

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Comment below Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Comment below ⬇️

It was a pretty boring weekend here - with the anticipation of Tropical Storm Isaias, it was better to stay indoors. Luckily, we didn’t get anything but a bit of rain.

This week - I’m hoping to make it to the beach one day and finish up my first guide. I’m digging deep for some motivation but also ready to slay my goals! 🗡️ 

How do you get motivated for the week?

    Sorry your son had to get a new cast, Tonyalee! He must be disappointed… I hope the lacrosse game was fun to watch, though.
    Happy anniversary week! Here’s to many, many more <3
    The Dreamology pouch is so cute! I hope you'll enjoy the book, as well as the other new additions to your shelves.

    Happy Anniversary!!! Wow, 22 years!?!? Are you OLD enough to be married that long 😛 ????

    Give the kiddo a hug for me – I’m soooo sorry his arm is taking so long to heal – BOOOOO!!

    I think you should read either anything by Kylie Scott: either Play or Dirty or if you’re up for a hurt your brain type of read, go for When we Collided. Kylie will make you laugh, Emery will make you look at life differently.

    Yeah, I’m not much help….
