The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
The first full week of the kids being out of school for Christmas break. The first part of the week was rainy so we were stuck inside. Then the end of the week was freezing temperatures like most of the rest of the country. We didn't get any snow but we did have some ice. Monday night the big kids had their first basketball practice. Little Boy talked so much he missed a few drills and the coach had to keep getting onto him. Little Girl said she was the worst on her team and was embarassed, but I told Husband that just means she has a much better chance of getting most immproved by the end of the season. Monday, we did our gingerbread houses. The kids begged for them since we purchased them at the beginning of the month. Little Girl's icing packet was busted and she couldn't get much out of it, and Little Boy mostly wanted to eat the candy inside his kit. Tuesday we played with some fake snow that the kids' aunt got them on clearance back in October. I decided to save it for this week. Wednesday we made cookies for Santa. This is something I always helped my mom and even my aunt with back when I was little. We also went to a Christmas party for our church family hosted at my parent's house. Thursday, we spent the day at my parent's house. We each colored a picture. Friday, Little Girl had a playdate with another girl from church. And Husband only had to work half a day. We've been super lazy because of the rain and cold weather. Saturday we just had a family day at home. A part of me wanted to call up family and see if anyone wanted to come hang out, but we've already had a lot going on and still more to come. A lowkey day was just what we needed. We played, we watched movies. And of course, today, we're so excited to be able to celebrate Jesus's birth with our church family. We are opening presents early and then heading to church. Husband's mom and maybe my parents will come over for lunch and to see what the kids got for Christmas. I wish you all a very merry Christmas!

Goodreads description--From Park Avenue to the Parks Department—the world’s most beloved social media star is about to get a rude awakening.With her millions of followers, Cat Cranwell is adored around the world. But when an app partnership goes very, very wrong, Cat suddenly finds herself shunned from the community that not only fed her soul all these years but paid her bills. When Cat’s closest living relative, Uncle Terry, offers her a position on his staff at a small national park in Montana to get away from the city, Cat hesitantly accepts the opportunity.
What she doesn’t realize is that as the new social media strategist her goal is to save Kannery National Park from being absorbed into Glacier National Park by boosting the number of visitors.

Written with bestselling author Melissa Ferguson’s signature wit and charm, this romantic comedy of opposites attract is full of hilarious romp and a romance that will melt readers’ hearts.

Goodreads description--The acclaimed author of Love Lettering weaves a wise and witty new novel that echoes with timely questions about love, career, reconciling with the past, and finding your path while knowing your true worth.Longtime personal assistant Georgie Mulcahy has made a career out of putting others before herself. When an unexpected upheaval sends her away from her hectic job in L.A. and back to her hometown, Georgie must confront an uncomfortable truth: her own wants and needs have always been a disconcertingly blank page.
But then Georgie comes across a forgotten artifact—a “friendfic” diary she wrote as a teenager, filled with possibilities she once imagined. To an overwhelmed Georgie, the diary’s simple, small-scale ideas are a lifeline—a guidebook for getting started on a new path.
Georgie’s plans hit a snag when she comes face to face with an unexpected roommate—Levi Fanning, onetime town troublemaker and current town hermit. But this quiet, grouchy man is more than just his reputation, and he offers to help Georgie with her quest. As the two make their way through her wishlist, Georgie begins to realize that what she truly wants might not be in the pages of her diary after all, but right by her side—if only they can both find a way to let go of the pasts that hold them back.
Honest and deeply emotional, Georgie, All Along is a smart, tender must-read for everyone who’s ever wondered about the life that got away . . .
