Life Lately

lifestyle· Uncategorized

Hi y’all! Today was scheduled for chapter 5 thoughts on Word Nerds, but that’s going to be delayed until tomorrow. It’s one of my favorite chapters and I just don’t have it in me to write it this late in the day. I promise it will be up tomorrow!
I didn’t want to skip the entire day without posting (like yesterday…), so I thought we’d have a little life lately post! 🙂 A lot of these pics come from Instagram…if you don’t have Instagram, go download it right now. It’s my favorite app! I find SO many great teaching (and other) ideas there! My name is msleslieann01 🙂

I organized this monstrosity of an office closet. Now I’m actually able to find supplies. If only my bookshelves would organize themselves. *sigh*

I’ve been enjoying my summer days with this sweet girl. 🙂

I discovered the world of agenda planning, in which I talk about more in this post on my Life+Style blog Southern Belle Inspired.

I finished this utterly strange book. Have y’all ever read this? It’s told entirely from a 5 year old’s point of view. His mom was kidnapped when she was 19 and locked in a shed for 7 years, during which she has Jack, the 5 year old narrator. It’s an odd book. Not bad, just strange. Let me know what you thought of it if you’ve read it before!

Since I’ve become agenda obsessed this summer, I broke down and purchased an Erin Condren Life Planner. Let me tell y’all, I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited for the Fed Ex man to arrive as I was Wednesday. It was like Christmas morning! Do y’all use the ECLP? I’m so stinkin’ excited about it!!! 🙂 🙂 

I’ve watched a billion youtube videos to figure out how to make stickers for it 🙂 

I instagrammed this pic yesterday and a lot of y’all wondered where I got the chart paper. I purchased it from a local school supply shop called Davies. I’ve never ordered online, but you can check them out here. 

Apparently I’ve been living under a rock and have never experienced the Chick Fil A Chicken Minis. Oh my word! Quite possibly the best things I’ve ever eaten. Seriously. I’m swooning just looking at the picture. 

This display of Harry Potter books makes me happy. That is all. #bestbookever #expelliarmus #yepimanerd

I’m tickled pink over my latest Etsy purchase. These prints from lauraamiss are so pretty. I ordered a set of 4 that show different cities. These two are London and Chicago. Check out her gorgeous work here. 
Remember! Today is Novel Friday in my Christmas in July TpT Sale! You can get my novel guides for Frindle and Tuck Everlasting on sale for 20% off! 🙂 Click here to shop. 
Happy Friday! 🙂

    I desperately want an Erin Condren Life Planner! I guess I just need to break down and spend the money on it already! Your dog is too cute! And I've never read that book, but I tend to like the weird, twisty books to I'll put it on my to-be-read list!

      Have you ever watched all the YouTube videos out there about decorating your planner? Tons of them used the ECLP and that's what convinced me to splurge! I want the lesson planner now! 🙂

    Room is one of my favorite books. The writing is captivating and the storytelling is so attention grabbing. I think the author did a phenomenal job of writing in the voice of a child. It is a strange book, but I always recommend it to friends. Except that it's hard to describe what it's about without giving away plot details.

    I have been using the ECLP for about 6 years and I LOVE it! I also use their teacher planner which works really well for me. I'd love to see how you organize your ECLP to get more ideas!

Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become a kindle girlie during the winter months, but I have no clue why. I usually always prefer a physical book, but here lately I’m glued to my kindle. I remember this happened to me last winter, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m flying through my TBR though, so let’s call it a win!

Yall, I’ve been so bad about posting my monthly wrap ups 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s definitely a goal for the new year because I miss them so much!

Anyways, here’s what I read in November. It’s been a weird reading year for me, so it’s kinda all over the place. A couple of 5 ⭐️’s, but also some definite duds lol

Have y’all read any of these? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ball Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ballard’s newest rom com, All I Want is You! I love this author, so I’m excited for this one. 🩷📖🎄

Synopsis:
All Jessica has ever wanted is her own happily ever after. But until that happens, she spends her days as a small-time romance writer, penning satisfying Happily Ever Afters to soothe the heartache left by her ex-boyfriend Nick—also a romance writer and now her biggest rival—who has found success writing love stories without happy endings. It’s what he’s good at, after all . . .

So when their professional obligations bring them to a remote inn a few days before Christmas, they’re a little more than peeved, especially when they get trapped sharing a room in a snowstorm. But what’s more fitting for two romantic writers in a slump? Realizing the friction between them might be the only cure for their writer’s block, they decide to turn their frustration into fiction . . . and the pages start flying. But will Jess’s heart soar, too? Nick is the last guy on earth she should love . . . but what if he is really all she wants for Christmas?
What I read this week 🩷📖 It took me all wee What I read this week 🩷📖

It took me all week to read The Favorites by Layne Fargo, which usually means I’m not loving a book, but I’m thrilled that’s not the case with this book! It was just a super busy week for me so I didn’t read as much every day as I wanted, but I absolutely LOVED this book! It releases January 14, so mark your calendars now! I don’t even love figure skating/ ice dancing (honestly I’ve never even heard of this) and I still was obsessed with this book. Highly highly recommend!

Thanks for my early review copy, @atrandombooks

Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. do Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. down. 1000% obsessed. It releases in January, so put it on your TBRs NOW! Oh my goodness I’m loving this book!

Synopsis:

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.

Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.

As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines
