The Whirlwind, The Wins, and a Little Family Time | Q1 2026 Recap

Hello everyone!

Can we just talk about how 2026 has been an absolute ride already? I’m currently in a serious "clear the decks" mode because life is about to get a bit more personal. Hubby is headed in for knee surgery in just five days, so I’m prepping to be MIA for a bit. I’m taking the first week of April to focus entirely on his recovery (ice packs and TLC on deck!), and then I’ll be sliding back into my work seat during the second week of April.

What Deanna Read #114: February 2026

This is rather unheard of... if recent posts are any indication, but I'm doing my February reads early. Why? Because I'm a crispy fried little critter and my brain is toast. I've taken today "off" which means I'm not working on deadlines and am, instead, catching up on small errands, admin, emailing my team, and maybe, just maybe, I'll even get round to invoicing my clients. That's important right? But first, books... and you'll see from my dismal reading efforts, this was not a good reading month.

Here's what I read in the last month.
