NEW VIDEO! | Emma Turned 1 (and other things you've missed these past 6 months)



Hey there, it's been a minute since my last video. Here are some clips from January on (including Emma's 1st birthday party, Emma's adorable reaction to Jake coming home from work, playing in her ball pit she got for Christmas, getting chicks from Grandma and Grandpa for Easter, learning to walk, playing in her kiddie pool, etc!). Our little family is doing great, we've just taken a break from YouTube!

Last time I uploaded a video, we just bought our first house around the holidays, and then life got busy! We're now settled into our house and still loving being homeowners. Emma just turned 1 1/2 years old. Since you've seen her she's been going to physical therapy and learned to crawl, cruise, and finally walk! She learned to do all of that in about 4 months. She's now walking and exploring everywhere. She is still wearing her SMOs (ankle braces) but we're hoping she doesn't have to much longer!

I also now watch two other little ones in my house during the week so that keeps me very busy! I'd love to try and start filming more and uploading weekend type vlogs. Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see that.

I'm still reading all the time (I just haven't taken the time to film a review video in a very long time). If you don't already, follow me on Goodreads if you want to stay updated on what I'm currently reading!  https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/12842423-jessica-priceiswong

One more thing... If you saw my last post here on the blog (or my Instagram page) you recently saw my post about Minimalism. I'm not a minimalist yet, but I'm inspiring to be. I've already gotten rid of a lot of things in my life that I just don't find any value in anymore. I'm also in the process of getting rid of a lot of books. If you find that interesting at all, let me know and maybe I'll try and film a few videos about it soon.

About the Book - From Sand and Ash:
Italy, 1943—Germany occupies much of the country, placing the Jewish population in grave danger during World War II.
As children, Eva Rosselli and Angelo Bianco were raised like family but divided by circumstance and religion. As the years go by, the two find themselves falling in love. But the church calls to Angelo and, despite his deep feelings for Eva, he chooses the priesthood.
Now, more than a decade later, Angelo is a Catholic priest and Eva is a woman with nowhere to turn. With the Gestapo closing in, Angelo hides Eva within the walls of a convent, where Eva discovers she is just one of many Jews being sheltered by the Catholic Church.
But Eva can’t quietly hide, waiting for deliverance, while Angelo risks everything to keep her safe. With the world at war and so many in need, Angelo and Eva face trial after trial, choice after agonizing choice, until fate and fortune finally collide, leaving them with the most difficult decision of all.

Magical Middle Grade UNBOXING!



The Crowns of Croswald will be released July 21st!

About the book:
In D.E. Night’s debut novel, “The Crowns of Croswald,” magic lurks around every corner in a kingdom ruled by a dark queen. Ivy, a young orphan living outside the Kingdom of Croswald and its enigmatic enchantment, discovers that she has powers of her own. She enrolls at the Halls of Ivy, a school where young students learn to master their magical blood and the power that Croswald’s mysterious gems can wield. Unfortunately, Ivy’s schooling – and her life – is threatened by the evil queen and her henchmen. As Ivy tries to unearth her past and save Croswald’s future, a fantastical adventure ensues.

The Crowns of Croswald is the first book in a series for middle grade readers brimming with whimsy, adventure and steampunk undertones with a gutsy heroine, part “Cinderella,” part “Harry Potter,” part “The Hunger Games,” and all fun.

We get to watch Ivy not only grow into her own magic but also be the very hero that Croswald needs,” Night says. “I find that sometimes girls don’t know how powerful they are, and how what makes them different can be what makes them destined for greatness. Even if she’s not always sure of herself, Ivy has a sense of adventure, determination and courage that I hope we can all see in ourselves.

Night’s debut novel wisks the reader to a land of enchantment, adventure and colorful characters. Reminiscent of fantasy classics, readers won’t to leave.
