Christmas all the way for me! Besides the fact we are celebrating the birth of Jesus, Christmas time has always felt like a whole new world. A world in which the everyday monotony is pushed out by the excitement and whimsy of it all. It truly feels like our paradigm shifts every year around this…

Surprisingly, I have never been camping as of late. The most I have done is set up a child’s tent in the backyard and laid out there for a few hours. Eventually, my sister and I got bored and came back in lol. There are certain people in my family that are pretty outdoorsy: doing…

Early mornings are the most productive time of day for me as far as getting responsible stuff done. When we need to go get groceries, workout, babysit, etc. We try our darndest to get everything done in the morning before lunch time. There are multiple reasons for this including traffic and the weather itself. Living…

Truth be told, I do not use too many emojis as I do not really text too often. The group texts I am a part of are between Christian women, so we are constantly asking for prayers and praying for others. We also use a whole slew of hearts and things like that lol. 👍🙏💙💕🩷✨…

Regret out of not acting on impulse is something I have struggled with all my life. I felt the urge to do something but my social anxiety and fear of being judged, have always been a stumbling block. One of the bigger examples has been my hesitancy to be open about my faith. As a…

When it comes to my nervous system, it sometimes feels as though a rabbit were pulling the strings. I jump at most loud noises and assume the worst in most situations. Just like a prey animal in the wild. In that regard, the unknowns make me the most nervous. Not knowing if those people in…

Reading and listening to lo-fi music are some of my favorite ways to wind down. The book must be relaxing and nothing too emotional or overbearing. The LAST thing I want is to be faced with another headache while still processing the day. There are some lit-RPG books on by TBR that I am pretty…
