It’s Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
So – I finally think that everyone in this house is over their colds, including me. I got laid low last week by something, although I am thinking it was a bad allergic reaction to some down pillows we had bought for the living room. I had no idea that they were down when I bought them, I wouldn’t have for a few reasons, one being I am pretty allergic. By Thursday-Friday I was feeling much better, once I got rid of those and got some rest. I am still not sure which it was but whatever – I’m better! We spent the snowy (1st snow of the year!!), cold weekend working on our projects for the Kid’s Moon Club that I signed Wyatt up for. It is run by Nicolette at Wilder Child, and every month there are special stories, songs, crafts, and snacks, as well as the info about that moon. I will be honest, it is more work on my end than I had anticipated, but I think I have the hang of it now, and I am looking forward to the rest of the year. Tomorrow we are even having a full moon gathering at our house for Wyatt and his cousin L. We also finally got to exchange gifts with Wyatt’s other cousins T and J, after weeks of one of us or the other being sick. His cousin J. is only 3 months old so we are trying to keep her healthy!

I had to chuckle at your comment about signing your child up for something that turned out to be more work for you than you expected! That sounded familiar! My kids are all adults now, but I remember those dreaded words: “We need a few parents to volunteer…” 😀
Usually January is a time for me to sit and savor a good book, but so far this month it hasn’t worked out that way, so I’ve mostly been listening to audiobooks.

We are having a pretty crazy January too. Not what I expected either, it is usually a pretty slow month!
Omg, I had no idea! This is my first experience with it lol. It is fun, just not what I was thinking it would be at first lololol.

Glad to hear everyone is better at your house. The moon club sounds like fun even if it’s more work than you thought it would be. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

Yes, fingers crossed! It is definitely still fun, it was just so much to get it going at first. But now I think we found how to do it more efficiently. 🙂

I know right, so cold!! We went out for like 10 seconds then just watched from the warmth of the indoors. Lol.
The Wood is really good. It is slow paced and I like that about it. 🙂

Thanks! The kids had a lot of fun together, and it was nice just to get together. It is so easy to just stay in hibernation when it is cold, so it was a nice family night.

The Wood is really good. A slow paced look at one wood for a year, just a man tending the land and woods observations. It is cool.
