Weekly Wrap Up (104)

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.

This week has been a LOT better, but still things are crazy around here! Work has been slammed for some reason. This is usually my slow time so it’s a little frustrating! Saturday, we spent most of the day building our new vegetable garden, which was fun! Are are only doing tomatoes, jalapeno, and orange bell peppers. Plus some lavender, pineapple sage (smells AMAZING) cilantro and basil. SUPER EXCITED.

Blog-wise, it was down yesterday (hence why this post is late) because for some reason, something triggers my IP as spam and the server blocks me (lol) weirdest thing, ever. It’s been a slow reading week, again, and I am in need of a day (or three) to chill and catch up!

I am excited that I was finally able to create a link up for Middle Grade Madness! If you read middle grade, or have been meaning to get into them and are looking for book recs, be sure to check back monthly! https://vivaciousbibliophile.com/join-middle-grade-madness/You can sign up here!

How was your week?

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?

    We have a vegetable garden! We have serrano peppers, tomatoes, green beans, celery, rosemary, basil & a few other things. I mean, it’s mainly my dad who tends to it. He does it every year. We just reap the benefits 😀

        Ah, I bet that will smell lovely! I know whenever we would cut our rosemary or basil the smell would be SO strong you could smell it through the house. But so yummy 😀

    Lots of lovely new reads for you to get back into:) That pineapple sage sounds wonderful. Will be checking into it. I want something with a noce scent and am also going to add a few miniature fruit trees soon.

    I hope you enjoy You. Glad the website is back up. Very weird about the IP. Sometimes if you use your servers email for the blog it can get tagged as spam. Which is why I use a separate system for email (gmail) Hope this week is better and that work slows down!

    I’m curious about YOU. I’ve heard contradictory reviews.
    Also, kinda. I grow tomatoes, but nothing else. I do not have a “green” thumb.
    Have a wonderful week. 😉
