Because of our travel schedule, this is my last non-cruise post for a week or so. I wanted to make a Valentine’s themed post, even though, frankly, the holiday is a little bit strange. Why celebrate love on one day when you can love every day? God commands us to love everybody, so I’m writing…
I’m taking a step back from advice for this post, and I want to share with you all of the great things going on in my life. The more positivity that is spread, the more positive the world is. First of all, God is moving in a really cool way at my school. Over the…
What do you want to get out of your life? I’ve been asked this question so many times, and, honestly, I’m not sure. As a Christian, I hold a responsibility to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with the world, but what exactly can I do? I’m fourteen. Yet people expect me to have…
Find my post about my old friends here. I am so blessed to have wonderful people all around me in my life. In this post, I will discuss my new friends and the way they have impacted my life in such a great way in such a short time. New Friends My new school is…
I’ve decided to start an ongoing story I add to for your personal enjoyment. The full story can be read here, but remember, it’s a work in progress! Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy. There’s something about summer. Maybe it’s the way the sun casts shadows on the grass as the evening…
I’ve talked a lot about my family, but sometimes I just drop my friends name, and everybody is like “huh?” I have three groups of friends, in a way. My old friends are from my old school, before I moved, my Reno friends are from Reno, and my new friends are from my new school,…
As I’ve mentioned before, the Parkers are off to Mexico! I’m so excited to relax on the Lido deck and grab some lunch from the buffet! Emily and Mom are going to drive to LA on Thursday, and my dad and I are flying down on Friday. Our cruise leaves Saturday and comes back the next…
Today is Super Bowl LIX, which to be honest, doesn’t affect me the way it does most people. I’m not a huge football fan but some of my friends are, so hey, let’s have a party! That does mean today is cleaning day too, which I find rather therapeutic. We’re inviting some of our closest…
Last night, my dad took me and Emily to the daddy-daughter dance. It was really fun, and I enjoyed spending quality time with my family (my mom was also there, serving dessert). There were only a handful of teens, the majority of the girls being in elementary school. I was sort of disappointed there weren’t…
Exciting news! We are going on a cruise to the Mexican Riviera aboard the Discovery Princess next week. It will be my 24th official cruise, and Emily’s first! The next few weeks are going to be travel specific posts for our vacation. Today is our official packing day, so I want to go over the…
Emily and I like to do this thing where she gives me a word like forest, and I make a hairstyle out of it. We’ve done a few, but I haven’t taken pictures. Here’s an idea of the forest hairstyle and how to do it. When she gave me the word forest, I instantly thought…
My closet has always been something of a disaster. When we moved home, and I got my bubblegum pink room, I realized there was not a lot of storage space. So, it was time to purge. Here’s some advice: don’t make up excuses of why you need every single thing in your closet. You will…
