#HoHoHo Readathon + Upcoming Birthday // Weekly Wrap Up

FacebookTweetPinEmailShares24

Weekly Wrap Up is a weekly post in which I recap the week, showcase new books received, and highlight what’s to come! Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s reviews & The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

 

Blog

  • The HoHoHo Readathon is in full swing! There’s still time to sign up and join the fun with reading, bookish challenges and giveaways! As of right now, I’ve finished 1 and halfway done with 1. Not bad!
  • I’m working on about, 5 different types of posts right now and hope to have them all go live soon. Spoiler: Etsy shop spotlight, fitness, and of course, book reviews!
  • Oh look, I hit 3,000 subscribers!

Life

  • Thankfully, I am feeling much better. The kiddos however, got the same illness and missed almost the whole week. They’re on the mend as well.
  • Work kept me busy last week and this week looks no different. But I love it.
  • My Birthday is coming up! (less than a week!) Not sure if we’re doing anything or not.
  • Speaking of birthday’s, today (11/11) is my dog Lily B’s birthday. She’s 5!
  • We’re planning our Christmas party right now, and it’s still in the air what theme we’re going with. Either a winter wonderland + Whoville OR Nightmart Before Christmas. Thoughts?

Fitness

  • I was able to hit the gym this week! Only one day (leg day) but that was enough. I’ve been walking the dog again even though it’s cold out. Starting this week, I will be going back to running 2 days a week. Let’s hope for no injury!
  • This break has been helpful for me in so many ways.

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!

Getting the right pic to post can be WORK. Whether it’s because of “photo bombers” or our internal demons that whisper negatives into our mind.

Real life is messy and not always picture perfect. Don’t strive for perfection but for progress.

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?

    See you at HoHoHoRAT I’m reading all those holiday Kindle freebie this week. I have 53 and I’ve read 9 because I started with the novellas. I grabbed 2 more today. lol. I did read Rocky Mountain Christmas Cowboy by Katie Ruggle and it is fantastic!

    I’ve read Say You’re Sorry by Karen Rose and written my review already for February. It’s great. The publisher sent me the print copy of The Christmas Cowboy Hero last year and I may get to it this week.

    Good luck with your reading this week! Anne – Books of My Heart
