EEEE, so excited for Finding Mr. Darcy. Sounds so cute.
It does sound adorable – and this is giving me the motivation to FINALLY read Pride and Prejudice. I know – how could I not have read this book? Crazy!
Finding Mr Darcy looks like a cute read. I’m glad you are adjusting to WP easily, I found the same and I wouldn’t change for the world now. And as someone who does occasionly blog from bed, I look forward to next weeks discussion 🙂
Thanks for linking my post too!
Yes, I am loving WP – definitely glad I made the switch!! I loved your post, so I was happy to link to it – such fun!
Thank you so much for linking my TBR post. I look at your Sunday Post quite religiously for bookish news and giveaways, and I was so shocked to see mine. Congratulations on your move to WordPress. I hope you have a great week! 🙂
Glad to link to it! Your post caught my eye and I thought it was cute and fun – had to share!!
Finding Mr. Darcy sounds really cute (is there an echo here?)– I’ll have to keep my eye out for it! Have a great week!
Yes, there must be an echo. LOL! I think that just goes to show that Finding Mr. Darcy really does sound cute! 🙂
The blog looks great Nicole, you should be happy.
Enjoy your new read and being back to school with the kids!
Thanks, Naomi!!
I’m glad you’re getting used to WordPress. I love your look! I hadn’t heard about Finding Mr. Darcy but now I want to read it. I’m not sure why the Darcy books get me. I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice but I didn’t adore it as much as many people do but yet if a book has Darcy in the title I’m in. Good luck homeschooling. I hope everything is going smoothly. My husband sometimes gets offers for short term moves for his work and when the older kids are out of school we’ve talked about taking one of them. It’d be fun to live in Charleston, or Orlando/Cape Canaveral or Huntington Beach for 6 months. However, I’d have to homeschool the youngest and I’m a little nervous about that! Have a great week!
Homeschooling is great and it does give you a lot of flexibility. My husband’s job is pretty flexible and we’ve considered staying somewhere cool for a month or so, but my youngest is still in the public school system (he has special needs), so we’re still kind of bound by his schedule. I’ve considered pulling him now and again, but for now I’d be too nervous to homeschool him. But homeschooling the other two kids (who are 10 and 12) has been a lot easier than I thought it would be. I enjoy it!
