22 Things // A Birthday Reflection

It’s my birthday today. I’ve only posted once before about my birthday (the 18 Things Learned in 2019 post) but this year I wanted to do a sort of reflection on how far I’ve come in the past year. This post, by the way, was inspired by Roseanna M. White’s post 40 Things—things learned, discovered,

Hello, 2023, the Year of Restoration

It’s been 2023 for 11 days. I haven’t been charmed, to be honest. We’ve have wave after wave of troubles and bad news. I’ve been utterly swamped and stressed. But yesterday in my devotions I read, “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof,” and I’m hoping it’s true for 2023 too. I completely

November 2022 Wrap-Up

*waltzes in singing Away in a Manger* HAPPY DECEMBER, CUPCAKES!!! BREAK OUT THE COOKIES AND HOT COCOA! I can’t have any this year but that doesn’t mean you can’t. Actually, I need to know what your traditional cookie recipes are, because I need more traditional christmas food to think of cooking. But before I settle

October 2022 Wrap-Up

I have no idea where October went, because I have no idea what happened in October and I did not give permission for November to happen. (If you did, you should be fired.) #obviouslyjustkidding But I can’t be the only one who feels like that, right?? However, time goes on regardless of how we feel

September 2022 Wrap-up

Well, guys, September’s a wrap. I honestly feel like it was June just the other day… but on the other hand I feel like January was centuries ago. So there’s that. I can’t remember what happened this month, but let’s see what I can come up with. || Highlights & Lowlights // The Queen passed.

August 2022 Wrap-up

If we’re being honest, I really have no clue what happened this month, but let’s give it a shot, hm? (also I need to keep track of what actually happens 😆) || Highlights & Lowlights // So I started the Clean & Christian Book Deals thingy. And it took way, way more time than I

June 2022 Wrap-Up

So I am reaaaally late with this and ya know, it’s okay. LIFE HAPPENS. (Didn’t mean to write that in caps, but it happened and it’s more accurate.) Also, I really should realize this happens all the time but I don’t, every time… Anywho, that’s enough of that, let’s dive into the… || Highlights &

May 2022 Wrap-Up

How can May be over yet?? I feel like I always say this but I seriously can’t believe it’s already June… wHaT hApPeNeD iN mAy?! || Highlights & Lowlights // Sunday (May 1) my sisters and I went home from our sleepover. I ended up forgetting MY KINDLE in my friend’s room and have to

January 2022 Wrap-Up

Welp, I’m a little behind, but at least I’m doing it!! Right?? Honestly, I’m not sure what to do with these wrap-ups because I never had an outline for them, so I am shamelessly stealing Ryana Lynn’s. 😇 Highlights & Lowlights // I got to video chat with friends… not as much as usual, but

Hello, 2022, the Year of Revival

Have you seen the meme about 2022? I wish I could say I’m entirely unworried about 2022. That would be an entire lie, however. I am worried. But I am also excited. I once had a pack of cards that said, “One year is 365 days to shine,” and I always loved that thought. You

The End of Year Book Tag + The New Year’s Book Tag

Hey guys! If you’ve been around for a while, you may remember I did the New Year’s Book Tag last year. It was fun, and I wanted to do it again! This year, I saw the lovely Lindsey @ Books for Christian Girls’ End of Year Book Tag video and wanted to do it as

A Christmas I Will Never Forget

Heyyo, cupcakes!!! (I thought that was a really cute expression but never actually used it yet. But I should, because y’all are really cupcakes. Sweet, sparkly, and fun to be around. <3) It’s been like five generations and a decade since I last posted… well, not technically, but a real post instead of a repost,

The Story of a Writer

Once upon a time there was a girl who wanted to make a difference. She had a story in mind. But she was afraid to write it because she didn’t think she could. It was too “out of her league.” But 2 determined friends told her to start writing, so she did. For three happy

My #1 Productivity Tips (+ more!)

I Am

A few months ago, I tried my hand at blank verse expressing how I’m currently feeling. I hope this resonates with you. I am broken. Why is my world crumbling all around me? Why do things I know threaten to disappear? Why is familiar replaced with change and unknown? I am angry. Why must my

What I Learned at VBS

A long-awaited post. My apologies. 😉 It’s been insane. I’ll have to catch up you up soon… currently trying to catch up myself! How it Happened So in July I was asked to participate in a VBS held by someone I knew. She needed someone to teach the teen class (13-14). I did not know

Mid-Year Book Freak-Out Tag // 2021 Edition

First off, sorry for the unannounced hiatus! I was teaching VBS for a week and didn’t even have WiFi. There’s posts coming about that, but for now… bookish time! If you’ve been around for… well, a year, you’ve seen this one tag last July. I know it’s not July anymore, but I was farrrr too

I Trust Him

I’ve been struggling a lot this year. Worry and fear have been holding me close. I couldn’t get away from the anxiety. The result was a very bad lifestyle. I stayed up way too late, slept in way too late, was sloppy with my chores and duties, didn’t keep up with everything I had to

What Did January Teach Me? // An Update

So I am shamelessly stealing this idea from Amanda Tero. But since she encouraged us to do it… xD there you are. Read her instagram post here! So yes, this is a ~ v e r y ~ l a t e ~ update. But oh well. I wasn’t in the mood to do an
