I think my total is 98, unless Facebook Messenger counts as having the Facebook App and with the Team using the Slack app technically I do have “texts” from the host and I have the regular YouTube app. If those count my total goes up to 129. Or 130 if we stretch it, because I have pictures of my students doing class activities and at recess on my phone, so technically they are my kids in a way, right?!

Dashing Through the Snow checked off 4 boxes!
-Snow on the cover
-More that 250 pages
-New Pet
-Home for holidays

#WinterGames #MerryReaders

This book was not what I was expecting. It lacked something for me. It was okay, but not the holiday romance I hoped it would be. The best way to explain it is to say, the book was too long and not long enough at the same time, it was almost too many plots going on and one didn‘t quite fit for me. I would give it ❄️❄️❄️/5

Day 2 of #FestivePhotoChallenge Today I give you The Family Stone, for “sappy holiday romance”. For me, this movie is a sappy holiday romance because of the love the family has for each other, every single time I watch it, I end up in tears!

#MerryReaders #WinterGames #ThisOrThat

This is one of my favorite Hallmark Christmas movies, so it felt right to start off the month watching it! So much to love about it and it puts me in the spirit!

PS: The movie is not based on the tagged book, just a happy coincidence that they have the same title..

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much @Sward7 for the beautiful notebook, the hilarious coloring book, and the fabulous book! I am so excited to read it!

Oh my stars @wanderinglynn Thank you so much for these wonderful gifts! I am so excited to read these books, they both sound so wonderful I don‘t know which one to start with. I am obsessed with Outlander, so the bookmarks are perfect! I have a slight addiction to sticky notes, so these are perfect for my collection and I can‘t wait to use this beautiful notebook! You are beyond amazing!

Week 6 of #bfcr4 Wow! The weeks flew by! I am proud of my accomplishments this round. I am happy with my steps, my self care was better, & I am happy with the books I read! I learned that I have not been drinking the right amount of water & that is something I need to work on & I need to train myself to drink way more water.

Thank you @wanderinglynn for another fabulous round, you are amazing!

Thank you so much for the blessing @Meaw_catlady You are so sweet!

Week 5 of #bfcr4 I am happy with my results this week! I got a cold last weekend & was feeling not so great this week, but I pushed through, worked my school‘s book fair two nights & then rested on Friday, so my steps were low that day. I found a Water app, but it is telling me I need to drink so much more water than I have been, so I am going to need to work on that. I am drinking more water than I have been, but no where near the right amount!

1. Everything!
2. Nothing that I can think of, I like it all.
3. I may have to think about this.
4. Daily or at least I try to.
5. I don‘t think I have done a read along, but I enjoy the rest.
6. I love it the way it is, but I was thinking the other day, if I could scan my books like I can on Goodreads, it would just take it to the next step!

Week 4 of #bfcr4 This week was a bit rough! I came close a few days to my step goals, so I am happy about that. I need to step it up on my water goal, I may have to find a good water app tracker to help me with that, I used to use Plant Nanny, but always seems to kill my plants! I have started a few books, so that number will go up soon. On the mental front, my work environment is still not great, but I am dealing with it!

Day 26 of #ChillingPhotoChallenge The first biography I ever read was about Harry Houdini and I still remember the magic trick I did when I had to present about it. He was truly a master of “magic”.

I got 7 hours, 36 minutes for #24B4Monday My original goal was 10, so I didn‘t quite make it, but I am still proud of what I did. I finished a book, got half way through and my audiobook and made progress on other books! I was good at using my timer when I was reading physical books, but forgot when I was listening to my audiobook, so I had to go back and add up my times.

#Scarathlon #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid

I watched this movie, one of my favorite movie series ever! If you haven‘t seen any of the movies I highly recommend them.
