It starts with Us (done)

I don’t think I need to say much about this – you’ve either read the two Colleen Hoover books in this series, or you never will. I’ve read both (the first one is “It ends with us”), and I loved them. I was utterly captivated by the love story and its characters. But I am not sure why. I read rom coms when I get overwhelmed with life and want a quick, mindless read that puts me in a world of happy endings so I am not new to the genre. But these books are…different? They really are captivating, and I am not surprised that she has made such a killing with her writing.
(Fun fact: did you know that it was Tik Tok that made her famous? She had published “It ends with us” years ago, and it just never caught on. But when TikTok discovered it, her popularity exploded. And it was really Tik Tok requests (demands?) that made her write this sequel. She thanks the TikTokkers in the acknoweldgments 🙂 )

I welcome a challenge (1/100)

In my most recent newsletter I wrote about Zac’s 100 day challenge (he’s creating and posting 100 days of YouTube shorts), which inspired my friend Laura to do her own 100 days, which of course then inspired me to do the same ….and here we are.

Rare day out

Honestly, it’s near impossible to get this child to find some free time to spend with us. And then to get her to pose for a photo! Miracle of miracles.

Catching the rays

It’s hardly winter, but the air is getting crispier and cooler, and so Lisa looks for any ray of sunlight …and then hogs it. I’m just here to take the photos!

A Mother’s Day treat

Took myself out for a custard slice and a whipped cream cappuccino. Kids were at home, so had some peace and quiet. A win-win!

Another notebook

Maybe one day I will have enough notebooks, but to day is not the day. Isn’t this one gorgeous? It also has a glossy finish, which makes it even better. And its a blank. Perfection!
