Life:
Happy New Year’s Eve! Do you celebrate until midnight? I’m an early to bed, early to rise person so I won’t be celebrating at midnight (much to the dismay of my kids). We do have a fun spaghetti and fancy meatballs dinner planned with mint brownies I usually make before Christmas but didn’t get to this year.
It’s been a lovely week of winter break, but I’m ready to get back into a routine-I do love structure. We watched the new Trolls movie which was so much fun and went to the History Museum.
3 Good Things:
- I saw a friend from high school that I don’t get to see very often and it was just so much fun. Two hours went by in a blink.
- We got a new board game–Really Loud Librarians and it is so much fun and does get really loud. A board game that entertains the whole family is a wonderful thing.
- I discovered the Rosalind Thorne Mysteries by Darcie Wilde (see review below) and I am so excited to go back and read/listen to books 1-6. Historical mysteries have become my favorite type of reading this year.
