Reading: Code Girls by Liza Mundy. I’m over 50% through the book and so far, it’s really good.

Watching: Finishing out our month of movies this week.

Listening: I’ve listened to a few more episodes of Presidential. I’m up to Zachary Taylor. I’ve known a lot of the information presented, but I still find them enjoyable.

Making: I dove back into Quentin’s Project Life album which was stalled in March 2017. I just got my page protectors so I can continue this week.

Feeling: I’m not sure why, but I’m feeling very unmoored this week. Must find a way to stabilize myself.

Planning: Nick and Alex’s 16th birthday is coming up soon. We’re figuring out what kind of party/adventure they want to have.

Loving: I’ve been finding more snipped of time to read more lately. Love it so much!

Reading: A Precious Jewel by Mary Balogh. Went back to my trusty standards: Regency romances.

Making: Working on some fun Step It Up card sets. Love showing off two different card using the same designs.

Feeling: Excited about upcoming events!

Loving: I finished with my December Daily album this week, which means all the Christmas supplies can go into storage for another year! This clears out my crafting area substantially.

Reading: Finally picked up Little Bee by Chris Cleave. It's been sitting on my shelf for years!

Watching: Loving this season of Bachelor in Paradise. Way better than The Bachelorette.

Feeling: J and the boys were all sick this past week. While I've escaped most of the sickness, I've had to deal with three sick people in my house. I am now exhausted. Here's hoping I don't catch it now.

Planning: I've gotten the decor, activities, and goody bags worked out for the party. Now I just need to finalize our menu for the day of.

Reading: I finally started The Selection by Kiera Cass. A fluffy romance was just what I needed this week.

Watching: Along with my fluffy romance, I needed some feel-good television. Call the Midwife S2 is perfect for this. It's serious, but always makes me feel good at the end.

Listening: After marathoning Black Veil Brides for Arthur, I randomly pulled up a much loved older album: Anberlin's Cities. I sang along to every song.

Making: Working on some floral cards for this month. I'm thinking that may be my theme for the next class I plan.

Feeling: The twins arrive tonight and I am so anxious. I will be super anxious until I get the text that they have landed.

Planning: Working on our plans for next week - activities and meals.

Loving: This past weekend was really hot (over 90 degrees both days). The temps are back in the 70s with sunshine and a nice cool breeze. Loving it!

Making: One of my stamp club ladies wants my retiring Pieces and Patterns stamp set, but I wanted to get just a few more cards out of it. So I went a little crazy yesterday and stamp out a ton of random pieces to create a few cards.
