Yesterday, my baby girl had her First Communion. It was such a special weekend, especially since my sisters came in to celebrate.
My baby is the mini-bride in the middle. *beaming*
It's funny... I made her change right after the ceremony before she was allowed to have cake. I told her it was just like her wedding day would be... a gorgeous dress that she only got to wear for a few hours. And, yes, we are definitely women-strong in my family. The only girls missing: my mom and my niece, Dani. Both of whom were sorely missed. Not that we didn't miss the guys, too. (Hubby took the picture!)
Normally, Sundays are for my A Round of Words in 80 Days Updates, but I've switched to a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule until my April Blogging from A to Z Challenge. So, today's my update.
WRITING
My goal: Spend an hour a day writing/planning the Depression Cookies follow-up.
My progress: Did start back on planning, but need to get to writing. Goal is to have two chapters done by Wednesday.
My goal: Deep edits and "filling holes" work on Chasing Memories (my NaNo project).
My progress: Spent time working on the Prologue and Chapter One. Goal is to have it to my hopeful-editor by Thursday.
BLOGGING
My goal: Post here on Monday, Wednesday & Friday.
My progress: Oops, where did Friday go. Oh wait, see picture above!
READING
My goal: Two books a week.
My progress: Read two books last week, and need to post both reviews on Mom in Love with Fiction.
Wishing all my writing friends a week of flowing words!

Great picture. Your baby looks like a big girl!
What a great picture! I can see how you can feel rejuvenated after such a great weekend. (: And oh how I wish I could read two books a week. I don't know how you do it. . . I'm lucky to read one a month. :/ I really need to strive to get more reading in.
seems like a good week - lovely picture - doesn't she look happy:)
She's so pretty, Tia! Congratulations on getting your mojo back. I know the feeling. The holidays left me blah. I'm starting to pick up steam though. I was editing a 98k word novel, writing my own, and reading no less than a book a week back in November. Funny how, over time, we have an energy graph that looks like a mountain climber's worst nightmare, eh? :) WRITE ON!
Aww. I remember my first communion dress. I felt so pretty. And my grandparents were there, which they won't be when I get married.
Beth - I know. ;-(
Elise - Thanks. I love books, but I should try sleeping a bit more. ;-)
Alberta - She's my spunky child, but she sure did look sweet that day!
Jo - Glad we are picking up steam together!
Callie - What a special memory for you. I hope my daughter remembers it as fondly.
Beautiful pic, Tia! As I'm surrounded by males, I don't get any of that. I asked a fashion question the other day, got a non-response, and finally said to my husband, "I need another girl here." LOL.
Honestly, I love my men. Glad you could enjoy your family. Best wishes with the writing!
Julie - There are times when emotions are running high that I'd like a few more men, even though I do love my girls. My hubby is one of four boys, so a house of girls is a bit of an adjustment for him! ;-)
Tia, your goals are so nicely specific and show real commitment to writing. Persevere! And enjoy every lovely moment with family. That picture catches such joy!
