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.
Little Boy and Baby Boy have been battling runny noses and coughs. Baby Boy has been waking at least once during the night 5 out of the last 7 nights. While he goes back to sleep fairly easily, the disrupted sleep has started to wear on me. Monday the kids were out of school, and we just had a nice day home and playing outside. Monday night was really rough as far as sleep goes for Baby Boy and thus Husband and I. So Tuesday we were very lazy. It was needed, but I don't like having days like that regularly because I need to be productive. I had errands to run Wednesday. I dropped off a prescription at the pharmacy and went ahead and did my grocery pick up instead of my normal Saturday. Thursday we went to my parent's house to spend the day. My mom was also babysitting my great-niece. She's just turned one in December, so she was super fun for the boys to play with. Friday, Little Boy had a playdate with a friend after school. We went to a Burger King nearby that has a playplace and then to the park. The boys had so much fun. Saturday was Baby Boy's 2nd birthday. I cannot believe he's two already. He'll always be my baby, but he's growing up too fast already. The big kids had basketball games. The church where they play basketball has a playground so we let them play for a little while after their games. We impromptu decided to get pizza for lunch. Baby Boy had a great birthday.

Goodreads description--A duke’s governess, a gentleman entomologist, and a castle full of flowers is the perfect setting for a summer romance. As the new governess to the duke's family, Alice Sharpe must learn to control her impulsiveness. Employment in the duke’s household is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and could mean living in comfort the rest of her days. Unfortunately, her first encounter with the duke's houseguest, a handsome gentleman obsessed with insects, proves she may not be ready for the austere role of governess.Rupert Gardiner has one goal: to have his work in entomology and botany published by the Royal Society. He is fortunate that the Duke of Montfort, believes in him and enlists Rupert to make a record of all the flora on the castle grounds. But Miss Sharpe’s spontaneity and continual appearance during his work is an annoying distraction. At least, that’s what he tells himself.
While Alice struggles to adapt to her new role, constantly striving to go unnoticed while still being herself, she cannot help but admire Rupert’s intelligence and focus. The more often they fall in together, the more her admiration deepens. But could a gentleman such as he ever fall in love with the governess?
As the first stand-alone novel in a new series by author Sally Britton, this story begins the Clairvoir Castle romances. This is a light-hearted series set in the Regency period.
