Aloha friends!
I feel like this past week was the last one of summer for me! This week starts a very busy week – my hubby is getting hernia surgery, my daughter goes for her Kindergarten placement test, and we got school t-shirt uniform pick and teacher meet and greet for my son on Friday! Gonna try and haul all his supplies on that day too. And that’s it, school starts for my kids on August 1st (for my 4th grader), my daughter will get a tour and orientation and a half day of school and then she starts full on August 8th.
Where has the summer gone? 😢 I’m mentally preparing myself for…everything! How was your week? Can you believe July is coming to an end soon?

Currently Reading:
Shows/Movies I Watched:
- Persuasion (Netflix) – a very cheeky, modern-ish version of Persuasion. It’s not going to please anyone who wants the movie to be exactly like the book but I think Dakota Johnson is funny and beautiful. Also Henry Golding is gorgeous! I kept an open mind and enjoyed it enough. My favorite Persuasion is still the one that was made in 1995. Now if they remade that one exactly I would be so happy.
- Mystic Pizza (cable tv) – I have loved the movie Mystic Pizza since I was a teenager! I’ll never get tired of watching it.
Games I Played:
- My Singing Monsters
- Just Dance – doing my cardio again

How was your week? Did you get a lot done? Watch anything good? Read any amazing books or books you didn’t finish? What are you reading?…Leave me a comment below!

I’m struggling with the fact that it’s almost school time! I can’t believe it.
I’m hoping to watch Persuasion without too many comparisons, so I can try to enjoy it for what it is. Glad you were able to do that!
My son starts in school in 4 days! 😅 Summer has gone by so fast. I hope you enjoy Persuasion!
