Hello and happy Monday!! It’s a new week, gloomy and rainy here, but still new week new beginning 🙂

I’m pleased to say that I am now back and will do my best to get back to you all and make sure to check what you have been up to this past weekend!

Anyway, here are my updates so far, and I am veryyyyy excited to talk about a book I just finished and post a review about it as soon as possible.

PROGRESS ON CURRENT READS:

  • Yeonnam-dong’s Smiley Laundromat by Kim Jiyun: I am really enjoying this one so far

CHALLENGES:

Nothing much has changed since we were quite busy this weekend. We had a really good time, although the weather was and still is awful, so we couldn’t really go anywhere… but still, we caught up, and the little one was very happy to see her granny 🙂

How about you? How was your weekend?

      1. I’m trying to stay calm 😂 I’m hoping that my son’s chickenpox spots will have crusted over so that he is safe to go back to school and I can get some reading done over nap time 🤣

        😂 That’s good

        Thank you 😊❤️

      3. We have gone back into school today!!

        That seems to be a popular time. I was messaging my sister at a similar time the other night, although her little one generally sleeps through now.

        Thank you. You too ❤️

      8. He ran a temperature and was crying in and off all night. I’m so tired!

        Definitely. My son had a week and a half off of school, don’t really want that. Plus he won’t really remember it.

        Same!

      11. Keeping my fingers crossed! My little one had a hard time falling asleep last night. These teeth are horrible, nothing is coming through, just pain and itch…

      12. Ergh. Yeah we have teeth coming through too. It was a better night. He only got up a couple of times. He has some really nasty spots in his nappy region 😔

        Liked by 1 person

      13. Oh, no, how long does it usually take for these spots to go away? I don’t want to think when her time comes, my husband will have to be quarantined since he never had these spots, lol hopefully his teeth will come out, too and give him some relief

      14. Well my oldest still has his so its 2 weeks at the moment.

        Oh no! It’s quite contagious. Saying that though my son can’t name anyone other than the person who he thinks gave it to him and he didn’t catch it when it first came around 2 years ago so 🤷🏼

        🤞🏼 Teething is taking forever. He is 21 months today

      15. Ahh its been a while now.

        It is quite contagious indeed and the older you are the harder it hits you.

        Awww congratulations to the little big man !!:)

        I do like being a boy mum. I see the girls going into school with their nice styled hair and I’m like nope, can’t be doing with that 😂

  4. Oh I love how you use rounded and square to mean different things, that’s clever 🙂
    & so many of the books on your TBR sound great, I’m also curious about Annihilation! And I love Legends and Lattes!

    Liked by 1 person

    1. Haha, thanks! There wasn’t much of a choice as there were only 2 shapes I could work with, so I played with the dimensions at that point. I started reading Legend last and Lattes today! Annihilation probably will be next 🙂
