The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on my blog and share news about what’s coming up in the week ahead.
This past week on FYFA (and in my life):
Hope everyone has been keeping themselves busy! We’ve been getting used to our surreal current reality. Praying that you all are staying healthy!! Here’s what we’ve been up to while stuck indoors this week:
- We watched:
- My daughter and I watched High School Musical and binge watched High School Musical: The Musical: The Series all in one day. It was cute!
- My husband and I have been watching season 2 of Ozark. That show is … messed up.
- We’ve been working on a puzzle. It’s a Thomas Kincaid painting, which makes for a really tough puzzle because it’s all very hazy and watercoler-y.
- I read two books: Of Curses and Kisses and Awesome Dog 5000 vs. Mayor Bossypants
- We played a board game: Dungeon Academy. This is a rare game that everyone in our family both enjoys and is capable of playing (to varying degrees of success, but still.) We have trouble finding games that my older daughter will play (she hates games that rely on luck) and my son is able to play (he has special needs and can’t manage to follow the rules of more complex games and can’t play games that utilize math skills or higher reading skills without help). This game is the perfect solution for us! My oldest usually wins, but the rest of us have fun getting beaten—and last night my younger daughter won. 🙂
- The kids played LOTS of Animal Crossing. I keep seeing authors saying they’re playing it, and it makes me want to join in too maybe? But I don’t think I could manage to get my oldest to give up the controller for long enough so I could play. 🙂
- I caught up on all of the discussions linked up to The Discussion Challenge!
- We did more of the work on our trim for the hallway and kitchen (almost done with both of those!).
Other than that, I’ve just been checking the news once per minute and trying (semi-successfully) not to turn into a hypochondriac!
Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post:
- Google Searches Are Weird (AKA: You Found Me HOW?)
- March 2020 Monthly Wrap-Up Round-Up Link-Up & Giveaway!

Lots of good stuff! Have any giveaways or great discussions happening on your site right now? Feel free to share them in the comments!
Your dog is adorable! We’ve been staying busy here too and trying not to watch an over excessive amount of news. So much bad news all over. Stay healthy.
Aw, thank you! It’s a pain to get her to take a decent picture, but she’s a cutie, so I do it anyway. 🙂
i watch a certain amount of news, then i avoid it at all costs. mr wonderful keeps on it and will let me know of anything important.
Yeah, I’ve been bad about reading ALL the news—I don’t watch it, so I guess at least I don’t double up on it that way. Glad you can keep informed without staying glued to a screen.
Not turning into a hypocondriac is a real challenge Nicole! Stay safe and indoor.
It is! Glad someone understands.
Nicole, sounds like you have been spending your time well with your family. I hope you all stay safe and happy in the coming week, too. ?
We’ve been enjoying our time together!
Sounds like you are making the most of the situation. That’s all we can do, right? Love the photo of your dog. My cats are loving having us home more, although I think they are still a bit confused by it. I hope you and your family stay well and safe.
My dogs love having us home too. They think all the time should be their time, though!
Your family is doing some fun stuff. Not only having a good time, but being productive too. Fantastic! Glad you are all together and keeping safe.
Yes, we’re having fun together AND getting stuff done. Now that we know we have another month of this, hopefully we’ll be able to stay just as cheerful. 🙂
Sounds like you guys are doing well despite everything! Seeing a surge of people talking about Animal Crossing lately and am baffled! Lol. Hope you enjoy your new reads too!
Here’s my StS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Animal Crossing definitely seems to be the new big thing. LOL!
We’re still drifting until school starts this week. Yay for the Bromance Book Club – those are fun. I actually like the second one better than the first and that was good too. We LOVED High School Musical movies, but haven’t seen the series. I would suggest Hairspray if you like it, that was awesome also and also Zac Efron in it, oddly. We own them on DVD. We must have watched each of those at least 20 times. We like musicals. I should get out one of our puzzles. We like board games too and have many.
Stay safe, healthy and happy reading!
Anne – Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post
I saw Hairspray years ago, but haven’t seen it in a very long time. Need to look for it!
Animal Crossing is getting lots of love but I don’t get it myself. *shrugs*
Of Curses and Kisses is one I’d like to read! Am curious as to what you thought? I love Beauty and The Beast re-tellings usually. 🙂
Hope you have a good week Nicole! Surreal reality is a good way to sum up the current state of affairs!
I’m a huge fan of B&B retellings too! You can read my review of Of Curses and Kisses here. I really liked how it explored the idea of duty vs. happiness, but it was a little light on plot for my tastes.
I loved High School Musical: The Musical: The Series! I definitely agree that it was adorable. It was very nostalgic for me, but with a modern twist!
Yes. My daughter is kind of obsessed with the songs too. 🙂
Love that y’all are staying busy and have a lot going on. I was having trouble finding any puzzles at Amazon or Walmart online (ship dates were all 3-4 weeks out) so I finally went on eBay today and ordered several that should be here by the end of the week. I’m excited to have another distraction. 🙂
Hope you enjoy your puzzles! We had this one already—I’m pretty sure we’ve done it before, but it’s not like that means we’ve seen spoilers or anything. 🙂
When you say Ozark is messed up…is that in a good way or bad? My husband and I just started Altered Carbon (only one episode) and it seems really interesting. We still need to finish The Umbrella Academy though!
Thank you for sharing my post! I also have another giveaway going on for The Oremere Chronicles by Helen Scheuerer! There’s still five days to enter 🙂
I mean, it’s really good, but wow … lots of messed up things happen in that show. It reminds me of Breaking Bad, if you’ve seen that.
I’m really trying not to focus on the news TOO much, but it can be tough. I’m glad you found a game that your whole family can enjoy though – that’s wonderful!! I’m hoping to have a movie night with my sister soon, so that’ll be something to look forward to. Congrats on the giveaway win – I have The Bromance Book Club to hopefully read soon. I’ve heard good things too! If you want to do a buddy read, let me know!!

I’ve heard so many things about The Bromance Book Club. I’m really looking forward to reading it!
Animal Crossing is all the rage and really seems to be helping people relax and get away from all the bad news for a while. What great timing it was for that game to come out! 🙂
Dungeon academy sounds fun too. We’ve been playing Trouble (haha) and a few other things t keep us occupied. I always liked Thomas Kincaid’s art- a puzzle of his sounds fun.
I’ve heard that about Ozark, too…
stay safe and well this week!
Have you seen the fun literary Animal Crossing post that Kiersten did (over at We Live and Breathe Books)? It was great!
I did see that! Makes me want to try the game even more. 🙂
Same here!
I’ve been trying really hard to stay off Twitter and only check the news twice a day. It’s just making me feel panicky. I hope you have a good week!
I’m being horrible about checking the news constantly. I really need to do better.
I’m glad you’re doing well! We’re staying home, working from home, and trying to stick to our regular schedule as best we can. (It helps that we often stay home on weekends anyway.) It sounds like you’ve found some good activities to keep you occupied, though.
I’ve also been avoiding the temptation of Animal Crossing, regardless of the authors in my feed who are playing. Maybe I’ll try it eventually, but I don’t want to play solely because of FOMO. 😉
I haven’t played yet, but I’m still contemplating it. My teenagers love it!
I love Ozark!!! Jason Bateman will always be a favorite of mine. What is even more messed up than Ozark? The Tiger King – I got sucked into the hype, and I have no words for how crazy and messed up the show is!
I’ve been hearing about that one so much lately – guess I’ll have to check it out.
I used to play the old Animal Crossing game on my DS when I was younger. At the moment I do not have the funds for a Switch just to play the new game but I so want to and it looks amazing! Love High School Musical. I haven’t tried the series though! And I have heard such wonderful things aboutt he Bromance romance series so yay for hauling those in 😀
The HSM series is brand new. It’s really cute!
Hey! It’s your dog! Always nice to see the puppies on blogs. My daughter loves Animal Crossing. She plays it quite a bit.
Yes, we have to share our pups with the world! 🙂
My reading is awful but I ordered a few puzzles. I need to get my brain back into gear lol
Karen @ For What It’s Worth
We had our puzzle already, but I’d like to get another one.
Ahh High School Musical, so much nostalgia. I need to rewatch it all ahha 🙂
Stay safe, Nicole <3
I think that movie brings back memories for a lot of people.
