Today is Sunday time to look back in the rearview mirror and talk about my week . I am linking up to the Sunday Post hosted for years by Kimberly@caffeinatedreviewer .
In my private life
Happy New Year!
Last Sunday I told you that my mom had fallen hard on the street but she is healing nicely. She is now green and yellow instead of blue and purple.
We didn’t have anymore surprises.
I am still on holiday and I have spent my time learnign watercolor online.
My son offered me a whole session with 36 classes and I love being able to learn more methodically and professionally. So far I painted by instinct and if the result was good, I still wanted to learn properly, try some techniques I don’t know about.
The other news is that we are praparing my daughter’s departure for Sacramento on Tuesday. She will attend the second semester at university in the US.
I am both excited and frightened too.
And as usual, I am leaving you with a reel explaining why reading is healthy.

I finished posting my best reads of 2024 and posted only one review.
Thanks for reading.

Happy New Year Sophie! Glad to hear your mom is healing and hope your daughter had a good departure today and will have a great time there. The watercolor lessons sound fun!
Thank you Lindsey!
Glad your mom is healing. It’s so fun that you’re learning watercolor online. It’s amazing all of the things we can learn through online tutorials now. Good luck to your daughter!
Thank you Carla!
Sorry to hear your mother fell, but happy she didn’t do any serious damage! I live about an hour northeast of Sacramento! Is your daughter attending UC Davis? Hope she enjoys her time here!
Really? She is attending McGeorge! And she landed safely but we had difficulties with some practical things.
Sorry to hear about your mothers fall.. good to hear she is doing well.
Looking forward to you sharing some of your watercolors here.
Thank you! I will!
I’m glad your mother is healing well!
It’s a big adventure for your daughter but I definitely empathise with your nerves.
Wishing you a happy reading week
Thank you Shellyrae!
Oof happy to hear your mom is feeling better- and even happier that none of us fell yet after broking her kneecap, mother decidedly avoid getting out whenever it’s icy outside ahah!
Ohh that seems interresting! Although how does it looks like to learn online- isn’t it harder than itd be physically?
Happy 2025!
It’s not hard for me but I am not totally new to painting so maybe that would be harder for a newbie Kristina!
I’m so excited for your daughter, she will be fine! If I lived in Northern California I would totally be a “second mom” for her
Tammy you have no idea how I wish that this week!
Glad to hear mom is on the mend, and how fun that you are doing a water colors class. I didn’t realize you had no training, so I must commend your talent there. I hope all goes well with your daughter’s departure. That’s a long flight. I mean, Cali is pretty long for me and I am already in the US.
Thank you for the praise Sam! And no I had no training, just instinct but I want something more professional. I confess that I will be relieved to know that my daughter has arrived in her appartment!
