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): Nothing too exciting to report this week. My two younger kids are back at school (so gymnastics meets and basketball games are underway again—luckily I enjoy watching them!). My oldest doesn’t start community college again until the 22nd! I actually managed to get a fair amount of blogging done lately—believe it or not, I actually have three posts scheduled to go up next week. That’s unusual for me! (But I don’t expect it to last.) I’m also working on my writing more—I’m posting writing goals tomorrow, so I need to be good about sticking with them! Here’s what you… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): Happy New Year!! Wishing all of my readers a fantabulous 2020!! I started off New Year’s Eve by going to see Mean Girls the Musical with my mom and my daughter Danielle. The show was so much fun and technically interesting too—I especially loved the way that they projected a lot of the scenery onto the backdrops. I wish I would have known the music ahead of time, though—I’ve decided that I prefer when I’m more familiar with the songs when I see a show. We’ve also been watching the Harry Potter movies this week. So far, we’ve watched… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): I decided to take the week off from blogging this week and just enjoy some family time (well, and editing time—I need to finish that editing project, so I couldn’t take the week off from that). We spent Christmas Eve serving at church (pretty much all day, from 9 AM to 6:30 PM or so). Sounds exhausting, but we really enjoy doing worship at our church, so the day went fast. Then, on Christmas day, we opened presents and my dad came over for a bit (my mom was already here). We don’t see him as often anymore, so… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): This week we had rehearsals for worship team for Christmas Eve service and we did a teensy bit of decorating, with stockings, a couple of small items and a “tree” (we literally put up the top section of our Christmas tree and just decorated that—it actually looks pretty cute). We hadn’t done any decorating earlier because we weren’t sure when people were coming to paint (it’s not happening till after the holidays). I also worked more on my editing project. On the blog, I caught up with comments—I had over 200 un-replied to comments that have been building up… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): Not much to say this week, which is probably a good thing (no disasters, for once).  🙂 But one bit of good news is that my oldest officially got into the college she wants to attend (with the merit scholarship we were expecting plus a little extra)! We weren’t surprised with her acceptance, but it’s still nice to have it all official and on paper. Now we start figuring out all the details, like meal plans and housing. She’ll be transferring in as a junior because she has so many credits from our local community college, so she’s way ahead of the… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): I’ve been working, working, working on editing this past week. So much that I almost forgot to post anything on the blog and I haven’t been able to do much blog hopping. I plan to spend some time this evening doing that, though! We’ve also had someone come by to do work on the house, fixing issues that were caused by our plumbing disaster. Those will probably stretch out for quite a while, but at least we’re getting them taken care of slowly but surely. Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post:… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): I hope everyone here in the States had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a great day—my brother and sister-in-law have been staying with us for a while, so we had a full house, always nice for the holidays. Can you believe it’s December? I cannot believe it’s December. It feels almost surreal to me. I’ve been keeping myself busy with a new editing project, and of course Christmas shopping, which I do mostly from my family room chair. Black Friday is only an online thing for me. Do you guys venture out on Black Friday? I used to, but… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): Somehow I managed to get more posts up while I was on vacation than after I got back (I mean, they were scheduled ahead of time, but still). It took us till Wednesday to get all the plumbing issues dealt with, so I just didn’t manage to even think about a post until Thursday. I’m happy to say that my house is now leak-free, even if things are not completely back to normal—it will take us a while to get all the repairs done. I’m just happy to be able to take a shower! My son’s Special Olympics hockey team won… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): I’m back from Cancun! We had a fabulous time. My favorite part was definitely the animals—the resort had a beach and pools, but it also had a lot of jungle areas where you could walk the paths and see wildlife. I was in love with the monkeys, coati, capybara and a tiny baby deer that came right up to us and let us pet it while it used us as a salt lick (we were salty from the ocean still). My heart pretty much melted right there and dripped down onto the jungle floor. And right next to our… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): I’m in Cancun right now, celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary!! (Which was technically in June, but who wants to go to Cancun when it’s already hot outside where you live?) Hopefully I’m having a fabulous time. Since I’m writing this post ahead of time, I have no idea.  🙂 Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post: The Edge of the Word by Drew Callander and Alana Harrison: Review, Giveaway & the Authors’ Top Ten Addictions – Last chance to enter the giveaway!
