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…
When we moved to our current house, I wasn’t sure if I wanted the room with the bright pink wall. But the light was so perfect, and the room was just right. We have a good family friend who has always been right about things, even when I doubted her. She told me she was…
My life can be unpredictable at times, as most people’s lives are, but lately, I’ve fallen into a routine that I find very beneficial to my mental, physical, and spiritual health. As I’ve mentioned before, I shower as soon as I wake up. My alarm is on the other side of the room from my…
An interesting thing I do is twice-daily showers. People have told me that this is extremely unhealthy, and I want to clarify: I do not wash my hair twice a day. I shower once when I wake up, and once before bed. No more, no less. My logic for this practice is simple: I like…
