Here is my weekly post each Sunday to catch up from the week before.
I will be sharing what I have been up to, what I have read, am reading and what’s up next along with other weekly catch up news.
What I have been up to this week:
I haven’t been feeling very well this week, so I took a day off work this week. I’m feeling a little bit better now and I am having a chill weekend, whilst my daughter is at her Dads. My daughter has started another dance class at school & I just got an email about Music lessons for the Ukulele at school. It is different but I did a lot of music when I was younger so it would be nice for her to learn an instrument.
Including email subscribers, I have reached 200 followers to my blog so another amazing achievement to end the week. 😊
I have been thinking about new posts for the new year, which I am excited about. 💕
Reading wise, I have completed six books this week, including three short stories and a children’s book.

Hoping to continue with the reading in the evenings this week, as long as I don’t fall asleep. (As always 😂)
I hope your feeling better! And, I’m with you regarding lessons. I allowed my daughters try whatever they were interested in. Both did dance in school and outside of school, they learned how to sew and knit, they took violin lessons, and the younger one tried different sports. I think different experiences are good for them. ❤️

Wow, the Ukulele sound like fun. My brother-in-law plays it, but not very good. LOL.
