Thinking About... My Favoirte Things About Summer!

Hello everyone! I'm so excited for summer, so I decided to write down some of my favorite things about summer.

"Going to bed in awe of everything. Open windows another night carrying the sounds of thick trees and crickets and distant coyote howls. Restlessness looms and distracts and dares us before we're ready. The stars burn above. Summer is close. Life is so wild and difficult and amazingly enchanting." Victoria Erickson

 My Favorite Things About Summer:

Reading interesting books - just read How to Live 24 Hours a Day by Arnold Bennett; it was super thought provoking.

Roasting marshmallows - I just had my first s'more last week. I had forgotten how much I love roasting marshmallows (and eating them ;D).

Cliff Jumping - I just went cliff jumping last week! It was freezing!

Camping - I LOVE CAMPING! I haven't gone yet, but I'm so excited! I'm not a hardcore camper, I like my pop-up trailer and a bathroom within walking distance :).

Fruit - This is the first summer that my family has bought fresh pineapple! My favorite summer fruits are watermelon and pineapple.

Going to the movies - I don't go to the movies too often, but when I do it's so fun. I just recently watched The Shallows; it was terrifying :)!

What are your favorite things about summer?

Hope you enjoyed; and have a good day!

Thinking About... New Years 2016!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It is 2016, I can hardly believe it is a new year!

It is always scary going into a new year, but super exciting as well!

I found this super fun idea on Pinterest/Buzzfeed for the new year:

"Over the course of the year, whenever anything happens that makes you proud, write it down and put it in the jar." -http://www.buzzfeed.com/alannaokun/im-so-im-so-proud-of-you?utm_term=.temaRr0VK#.plDkaDeE7

I am planning on making a Rememberlutions jar, it looks like such a fun idea :). Check out the link above to learn more about this jar :).

I also found a reading challenge from 2015. It has some really fun ideas that I am excited to use :).

What about you?

Do you have any resolutions or fun ideas for 2016?

Yay!! This is going to be a great year :)!

Thinking About... Christmas!

Hey everybody! Happy December 1st!

Thanksgiving is over and now it's time for... CHRISTMAS!!!

Christmas is my favorite holiday! I love the lights, and ornaments, and snow, and music, 

and hot cocoa........ I could keep going on forever :)!

What is your favorite part of Christmas?

I just set up a Christmas tree in my room, which I got at Walmart for only $20! (Although I did have to buy lights.) This is the first time I've had a full sized tree in my room. Usually I have a small tree that I put on my dresser.

I put my Minnie Mouse ears from Disneyland on top of my tree :)

Here is a Christmas coloring page I was working on. It is finished now :). 

You can copy it right here if you want to color it too :)

These are a few pictures I took of frost last Sunday!

Which picture of the frost is your favorite? Comment below!

Thinking About... Poems!

"Never trust a mirror,
For a mirror always lies,
It makes you think that all you’re worth,
Can be seen from the outside.
Never trust a mirror,
It only shows you what’s skin deep,
You can’t see how your eyelids flutter,
When you’re drifting off to sleep,
It doesn’t show you what the world sees,
Where you’re only being you,
Or how your eyes just light up,
When you’re loving what you do,
It doesn’t capture when you’re smiling,
Where no-one else can see,
And your reflection cannot tell you,
Everything you mean to me,
Never trust a mirror,
For it only shows your skin,
And if you think that it dictates your worth,
It’s time you looked within."
~Erin Hanson


I love this poem and wanted to share it with you all :).
Have a great day everyone!

Thinking About... September Favorites!

Hey everyone! Today I want to share with you all some of my favorite things for the month of September!
Here we go!

Favorite song:

I really like this song, especially the chorus:). I heard it at a coffee shop and as it was playing I asked my phone, "What song is this?" (I know, talking to my phone, crazy... lol!) It came up as Jon Bon Jovi's - Because We Can. It is so good!




Favorite App:

 I just got a new app for my phone that is amazing! It's called Plant Nanny and it reminds you to drink water throughout the day. The point of the app is that you get a plant, and every time you drink water it waters the plant therefore keeping it alive. If you don't drink water the plant will get sick. It is a good incentive to drink water and is super fun :).

Here are pictures of my plant:

This is how it looks when it has grown some.

This is what it looked like on the first day I got it.

Plant Nanny is so fun, and I highly recommend it!

Favorite T.V. Show:

My family and I have been watching this great show on Netflix called Royal Pains. It is really good!

Here is the summary I found on: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1319735/plotsummary

"Hank Lawson is a doctor who can diagnose a person on the spot and treat them with whatever is around. When he chooses not to personally care for one of the trustees of the hospital where he works (who dies), he is unfairly blamed, fired and blackballed. After months of self loathing, his brother Evan (who is not exactly serious and responsible) takes him to the Hamptons for a break. While there, Hank prevents its local doctor from making a mistake during a medical emergency. Wealthy resident Boris asks if Hank would consider being the town's g.p. or concierge doctor, and soon everyone in town begins calling Hank to treat them. He is also approached by a woman named Divya who wants to be his physician's assistant, but only after meeting Jill Casey, the administrator of the local hospital, does Hank decide to stay, moving with Evan into Boris' guest cottage."

Hey everybody! Here is a sketch I drew last night for the blog. It was just out of my imagination, though I do have a dog who looks very similar to this one :).
