    Let’s all just consider for one moment how great the word “shenanigans” is. … Ok. Thanks for indulging me on that one 😉 I’ve been busy with school and musical rehearsals recently, so I haven’t been cooking from recipes too much. However, I’m still doing my best to be creative and fun with what I…

    Six months ago, my family and I arrived in Ada, Oklahoma. We had packed all our bags, loaded all our furniture, and cleaned our house within an inch of its life. We had said goodbye to people that we love very much, who sent us off with beautiful words and hugs. We had spent a…

    I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas Day. Ours was really nice; we opened presents together in the morning, which was so fun and full of so many laughs!! And then we spent the day playing with our different presents, hanging out together, and cooking dinner. Since my mom and I are the only…

    Crafting stuff is SO fun, especially when it’s Christmas-related!! So, of course, I like to make a few gifts. Last year, I made my dad a clay model of the horse that he liked to ride, and made one for myself, too. I think they turned out really nicely, and the paint job is my…

    Happy Halloween! This year was our first Halloween in Ada, and it was definitely a lot different from Halloween in Escanaba. Instead of staying at our own house and handing out candy, my family and I went to our neighbors’ house, where they went all-out with decorations. There were so many trick-or-treaters! I got to…

    Ah, peanut butter. Don’t get cocky, but if I had to choose, I would totally take you over chocolate… I eat peanut butter nearly every day. I love it in baked goods, un-baked goods, soups, and stir-fries, as well as on sandwiches. Therefore, when I saw that Chocolate-Covered Katie is once again hosting Hug A…

    Look what I did today! I got to ride this sweet horse 🙂 I don’t think I’ve mentioned this on the blog before, but I have been a horseback rider since I was six. I fell in love with horses in the first grade and have been an enthusiastic rider ever since. However, as often…

    This is going to be a random, just-something-I-did-today post. It’s all good! I know I like photos and thoughts and stuff, though I can’t speak for everybody 🙂 Today I went for a run, which is kind of out of the ordinary for me already. I have had a rocky history with running… I started…

    Nut butters – ALL nut butters – are fab. But you know what is MORE fab? Homemade nut butter! Specifically, pecan butter! ^^ that’s the face you make when you find pecans at the farmer’s market. Look at that deliciousness! It’s seriously so awesome, especially with jelly… on a sandwich. Ok, that was a strange…
