This day in age, it seems like nobody knows what Christmas is really about anymore. All those gift guides and red Starbucks cup pictures... I've forgotten: what is Christmas really about? I'm going to take a journey through my photos to find out. Oh yes, I remember now. It's about going to Walmart and admiring all the pretty decorati[...]
I had a lot of fun writing about things I don't like, so we're going to do that again for this lovely Friday. Make sure you read the first post too! - When people don't take me or my blog seriously or think I want to do too much with it. - People categorizing other people. That just needs to stop. - When somebody says to snap them, s[...]
You all hear me talking about faith and God on this blog, so it's about time I tell you why I believe in God. I'm not a scientist, and I'm growing in that area. However, it's not like I'm uneducated in this area. I've read a lot of articles from both Christians and atheists, seen a lot of quotes on Pinterest proving and disproving Go[...]
Music affects us in a lot of ways. Have you ever associated a certain place or memory with a certain song? I have, and it's funny how if I hear one of them it reminds me of it so much. I use a lot of songs to associate different moods with my stories, and here are some of them. I think of Des Moines, hospitals, and other deep stuff w[...]
It's been over a year since I first began working on my now finished novel. Sometimes it's still hard to believe. Even if my novel doesn't go anywhere - which, it will, I'm determined to make something happen with it - it was still an awesome journey I took, writing a book. I learned a lot in my faith as I wrote it, something I didn'[...]
Pinterest has tons of quotes you can find. There are a lot of quotes I've found and really liked, but there are others that I just don't agree with. At all. Today, we're going to talk about some of the common ones I see in life, travel, and sports that just don't click with me. I'm not meaning to bash the people who said them, either[...]
We all have dreams, and a lot of us are not good at patience. That's me! Lately I've been wanting to do so much with my blog. I want to start making money through it. I want to get paid to write about products/events I love. I want to make my blog a big thing because people can get book deals that way. The list goes on. Making[...]
There is snow on the ground, so what better atmosphere for me to recap the amazing concert I attended a few nights ago in Des Moines? I went with my parents to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra perform at Wells Fargo Arena (same place I watch hockey), and it was so much fun. First off, sorry to my Snapchat friends who had to see at leas[...]
I think you all know by now that I really like hockey. Ever since the two games I went to last spring, I've loved it. It also helps when your favorite player is really good plus he's HOT. It makes it all that more fun to watch... Despite my brother saying I only like hockey because of that, that's not true, and here's why based on pi[...]
