So. I didn’t get as much posted this week as intended. Oops! We went to my inlaws last weekend and I didn’t get blog work accomplished like I was hoping. I was having too much fun with the fam! (: I’ll get things back on track this week though. Gotta buckle down! Home preschool, blog, house work, writing, life. Gotta learn to juggle better! (: This week has been super busy and not busy at the same time. With two toddlers, life can go from calm to holy wow where did the day go in about 2.5 seconds! I didn’t get much reading done and that saddens me cause The Young Elites is fanfreakingtastic and I want to read read read it!

 

BTW: If you’re current military, a veteran, military spouse/child, ROTC, or military cadet, check out Joy Hensley’s Rites of Passage giveaway HERE. DO IT. It’s FANTABULOUS!

Another good reading week. I knocked out two books quickly early this week, but didn’t get to read much later this week since my uncle died. We did get to listen to a good chunk of Harry Potter with driving around to all the family gatherings though. Punk was very happy about it! He’s really enjoying it and asks for “Ha’y Potter, please, mama!” when we get in the car. It’s precious! (: Hope your week has been a good one!
