Thankful Thursday

Hello friends! I decided that in order to keep consistency with this blog, I will do a weekly Thankful Thursday post. This will be about anything that I am thankful for. I believe that happiness starts with a thankful heart, so this will be a great way to increase positivity and keep things in perspective for us. So, without further ado, I will share what I am thankful for this week!

  1. Getting my hair done today! I LOVE getting my hair done. I have the best hair girl in Portsmouth! She always does such a great job and we have the best conversation. One thing about me, I am a girls' girl. I can usually strike up a decent conversation with almost any girl. I believe we girls need to stick together!
  2. Getting our pool up; Yall, this pool... I am so thankful it is almost over. We have worked so hard on it. I can't wait to enjoy it next weekend when I'm off work. 
  3. Talking to my granny more this week. I love my family. I miss them. Ever since I moved to NH, I feel so much more myself. But I do miss my family. It would be so nice to be able to actually visit with them any ol day of the week. Maybe go out to eat a nice meal. Have a long talk and coffee date. Facetiming Granny yesterday has made me feel grounded. 
  4. Finally starting this blog. Okay, so you know that writing has been a dream of mine for a while. I've always kept a diary. I love to write. Little stories, journal entries, essays on made up topics, anything. I enjoy writing. I kept feeling this pull towards blogging. Random blogs would show up on my social media and I kept thinking, wow writing a blog post everyday seems like something I could do, maybe even like doing. Anyway, after a couple of years of debating on whether or not to start a blog, I am thankful that I finally decided to do it. I am excited to one day look back and see all of my posts and hopefully see some progress as a writer and storyteller. Me starting a blog in June of 2025 is happening for a reason, and I am thankful for that reason. 
Thank you for reading today's post! Even if my sister, Rachel, is my only the only reader, thanks for reading, Rachel!

Our Last Monday in August

  Good morning! I am glad you're here 😄. Today I want to talk about what I am currently crocheting. Grab your crochet hooks, a cup of coffee, and let's get into it! I took this a few weeks ago, one Sunday evening. Thomas and I were hanging out on the deck with our dogs, enjoying the warm weather. I should be finishing up with these hot-girl squares and I'll let you know what I make of them! I learned how to make a new hot-girl square... a skull hot-girl square! They are so cute and so much easier than I thought they would be! I decided to learn how to make them one morning a couple weeks ago when Thomas and I were at the beach. It was a perfect morning. We grabbed iced lattes and acai bowls from our favorite beachside cafe, and enjoyed the entire morning in the sand.  My first one kind of resembled a storm trooper, but I have gotten a little better since this picture! I also decided that I am going to make blankets for my family and friends. I have mentioned this before, b...

Fall 2025 Goals!

Hello! I don't know about you, but I am absolutely ready for this long weekend. I have had a crazy week at work.  Anyway, I want to dedicate this post to my Fall 2025 Goals!  In no particular order, here is a list of some of my goals: 1. Decorate - I want to go all out this year. I have a blow up Snoopy and Great Pumpkin inflatable in my Walmart shopping cart online. I want to have a pretty assortment of pumpkins out on my stoop. Last year, we didn't really have decorations up for the trick-or-treaters, and I want to go all out this year. I will definitely be posting pictures of my progress! 2. Watch lots of football - This will be easy as my husband, Thomas, has an entire room in our house dedicated to watching games. Of course, I will be crocheting blankets while he has the game on tv.  3. Dress up for Halloween - We will probably go to one of our friend's Halloween parties this year, and I am excited to dress up! I'm not sure what Thomas and I will go as, but I am ex...

Decor, Discipline, and Maybe even a Scented Candle🍂🕯️

  Good morning, reader! I feel a mindful essay coming on! Grab a coffee and maybe a notebook, because this essay has some numbered bullet points!  I have been thinking about discipline a lot lately. I feel like it goes hand in hand with attention span, self-awareness, and ambition. Is it becoming more and more rare? They say with smart phones, everyone's attention spans are diminishing. I have noticed this with myself sometimes. This is not a judgement- just an observation I've made about myself and the world around me. And I want to refine it for myself. I want to be disciplined so that I can live my dream life.  I am dedicating this post to 3 ways to be more disciplined in a world that has little to none. So, let's begin! 1. Why do you want this? I believe you should first recognize why you want to achieve something. Is it for your health? Is it for your career? Maybe it's less extreme than that. Maybe it's for your home to be decorated for Halloween. Whatever it ...
