Hello everyone! Our week was pretty good. We had some ups and downs but overall, pretty good. Wyatt and I had a nice routine week, we had some fun moments, we refreshed some of our fish tanks, we saw some cousins – those were all good. I had some news about my mom that was not so great, and is causing me some anxiety, but I am hoping and praying for a solution.

What I am Reading:

I didn’t finish anything last week, but I did start reading two books. Then Friday the book I was waiting for came in, so I am going to start that one too. So I guess I am reading a few books this week.

Version 1.0.0

I hope to finish A Prayer for the Crown Shy today at some point. I am also enjoying Budde’s book How We Learn to Be Brave.

Posted Last Week:

Top Ten Tuesday: Books Featuring the word “Night” in the Title

Springtime in Paris: The Intouchables

Friday Morning Coffee Catch Up

What We Are Watching:

We have been pretty much collapsing into bed after full days over here, so not much television has been happening. We did watch The Brokenwood Mysteries, Beyond Paradise, and The Wheel of Time.

In addition we have been watching our Springtime in Paris movies! Last week was The Intouchables, which was such a feel good movie. If you need a pick me up, watch this one.

This week we will watch our final movie in our six week Springtime in Paris journey. I will be sad to say goodbye! It was such a fun little movie watching challenge. We are ending things with Charade with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, and I am very excited to watch it.

Online Things Happening:

While we are wrapping up Springtime in Paris, Lisa from Boondock Ramblings and I are still hosting our Drop In Crafternoons once a month. Lisa and I have been hosting crafternoons for fellow bloggers on Zoom since January, and it has been so fun. It is nice to meet the person behind the blog, hear their voices, and share more stories – all while we work on whatever craft we choose! There is no right or wrong activity, you don’t even need to craft if you don’t want to. Just hang out, that is fine too!

I have also started adding downloadable, printable children’s birthday invitations to my Etsy store, Fox and Firth. I have been trying to create three a day and adding them, so keep checking back as the inventory is constantly growing!

And that is about it from me today! I hope that you are all are feeling happy and loved, and do something today that makes you smile!

    1. I am also waiting for a slow down! LOL. I feel like I have launched us into a very hectic go go go life this spring. I want Wyatt to have as many experiences as possible before his surgery so I am filling up our lives before he has to stay low for a while. It would be great to have you join us again!

    1. Thanks Jeanie! It is a fun little endeavor, and hopefully I can make a little extra here and there. I feel like we all need to try to make up for some of the rising prices somehow!

      I love The Brokenwood Mysteries. I think you would really like it.

    I am glad you had a good week overall. I hope the news involving your mom does have a good resolution. I can only imagine how stressful that must be!

    I am curious about A Prayer for the Crown Shy. I have only read one book by Chambers, which I adored, and want to read more by her. I hope you are enjoying your reading.

    Those invitations are so cute! I spend too much time shopping on Etsy. LOL

    Have a good week, Erin!

    1. I am enjoying Prayer for the Crown Shy! I read the first one in that series, A Psalm for the Wild Built, and I loved it. This one is really good too!

      Thank you. The situation with my mom is a big mess right now but hopefully we can figure it out soon.

      And thank you! I do too – Etsy is my go-to!

    I hope your mom’s situation resolves itself successfully. Otherwise, your week sounds good. I usually have two books going at a time – one print, one audiobook. I try to make sure that they are nothing alike to avoid confusion. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

  14. I hope you’ll be able to clear up the situation with your Mom!

    Have fun watching Charade. It’s one of my all time favorites ever and I watch it regularly. That’s also why I’m not going to join in. It’s kind of my private treasure 😉

    1. We have a few fish tanks! We have three – we have two betta, Moon and Sid Fishous. Then in our new tank we have two African dwarf frogs, a few lemon tetra, and Khuli loaches. I am having a hard time getting my parameters on that one under control! It’s my first community tank.

      I loved A Prayer for the Crown-Shy!! It was just the book that I needed.

      1. Ah cool, okay I see. I used to have a betta called Ghost. Moon and Sid Fishous are excellent names!! oh my gosh you have frogs that’s amazing!! and I had to look up those types of fish I’d never heard of them before but they look so beautiful! Well good luck, that sounds tough to manage, so wow!

        Aw I’m so glad you loved it and It really is such a hug in book form!

  16. I bet all your invitations are so cute, you have a lovely aesthetic. I’m looking forward to the next crafternoon; I think it will be the evening before a celebration of a friend’s life I have to go to on the Sunday so will be a balm for me and will be lovely to see that group of faces!
