The Sunday Post

 The Sunday Post

Hosted by:

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer~ It's a chance to share new ~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. 

The weather has been all over some days it's nice and chilly outside and others it's warm enough that I need the AC on. Oh California you as always are so weird when it comes to weather. It was a busy week but very productive. 

 The covid-19 adventure has continued it never seems to be ending at this rate it's been almost a year since we first went into quarantine. It's been filled with lots of ups and downs. We went into home school world that has been rough but we keep at it one day at a time. My munchkin has been having a rough time she's gone from the social butterfly to home with just mom. 

I've been in a blogging, reading, and just blah funk. It's exhausting dealing with her school, keeping her entertained and working on my own stuff. I think I read 20 books last year and blogging became a chore squeezing it in when I could. I missed a part of myself, and plan to work hard on finding my love for books, blogging, crafty, baking and just the stuff I love. 

Read the last week

I had a great start to beating this challenge this year. I need to write a review for one of the three

New books
While I may not have been reading a lot over the last year I have still be buying lots of books. Filling up my shelves, and loading the my kindle. I haven't taken any pictures but decided I would make a collage of the recent purchases. Lots of lovely covers and I've already started on reading them, 

Challenge Update 
I'm currently 3 of 250 almost done with my 4th and will be today. 
I haven't finished any books for my challenge as I'm a mood reader but maybe later. 

Baking
I've baked bread a bunch, I made my first cheesecake this week in ages. I have another one to make this weekend for my friends husbands birthday! This was my trial run. I know it's not the prettiest cheesecake but really I just wanted to try the brownie bottom and decided that the dark chocolate ganache isn't kid friendly enough for what I need. The cake itself was amazing and the brownie bottom was moist. 

Binge Watching 
I've been watching a lot of TV lately with so many amazing shows on.
 I watched Bridgerton and loved it quickly picked up the book to read with my bestie. We are making our way though at her pace due to she's in school and has home schooling like me. 
Finished the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina so sad to see it end, as it's one of my favorite shows. I was disappointed by the ending. Maybe another network will pick it up. Fingers crossed. 

Of course I'm on the Cobra Kai trend it's awesome and season three is so far the best with bringing in some old characters from the movies which I loved.

The Mandalorian is one of my favorites this season made me cry but I have hope for the future. I wasn't ready for it to end and now the wait for the next season.

    You actually did better than me at reading last year! I only read one book last year since things were so hectic last year. Let's hope we both read more books this year!

    Here’s my Sunday Post!

    That cheesecake looks delicious! I see you got an Emma Hart ebook, I love her! She is so funny! I also loved Bridgerton and binged it, and had to go buy the book. I'm reading it, but keep it in the bathroom and only read once in awhile. Loved Cobra Kai season 3. I need to go on in the Sabrina show, I watched the first episode and wasn't quite sure how I felt, but need to try it again. But first I'm going to finish Reign! Have a great week!

    Quarantine has been so challenging for kids especially. My son was homeschooled before this happened but he really missed out on all of the other activities and field trips. It definitely does get draining being full time entertainment and I've really struggled to balance that as well. Hopefully we both manage to do that in 2021! The cheesecake looks amazing. It has been far too long since I've had a really good cheesecake and I must fix that soon. Have a great week!

    Covid in general and quarantine have been really tough for us too, my eldest daughter, a student, hasn't left home for almost a year now except a couple of days last summer and a couple of days last week. It's hard for kids. But hey, cheesecake, let's cheer up ! Have a great week :)
