Dear Future Me...

 Dear Future Me, 

Written on a quiet September morning, I am writing a letter to the future me, maybe 10 years from now. I hope you are still writing blog posts! This has been a passion project, no real deadlines or stress, but something that is enjoyable to me. It makes me feel like I'm able to let out some of the pent up urge to just write! I've filled up plenty of diaries over the years, but my blog feels more creative. I like being creative. 


Some things I want to you to remember about me, now that your 10 years older, is that I really love my house. I love our yard, our neighborhood, our city. It's magical here, especially in the summer and fall. I try to sit outside for a couple hours most days. I have been crocheting a lot lately, trying to get some blankets made. I hope you're faster than I am now! 


I wonder if you're taking naps on your days off work, assuming we still have the same job. I used to nap every single day off, now I never nap. I just drink more coffee when I feel tired. 


If you have children, I am so excited to meet them! 


You should remember how much it meant to me when we were able to reconnect with family after losing Uncle Ron. It hurt so bad to lose him, but I am grateful for our family. We are closer now than before, it seems. 


You should remember how much fun it is for me (had been for you) to live with dear Thomas and our three pets. I hope I never take them for granted. They are just the best little family. 


I'm praying for you. I hope you're happy. I hope you feel good about your decisions. I wonder if I ever read the whole Bible. I can't imagine not having my quiet time anymore. 

I hope you get the chance to read this one day!

Love, Me 🩷💭

This was a random essay prompt that I found online, and I thought it would be fun to do. It makes me want to make sure I'm being intentional with my time now. Am I really taking in all of my life? Or am I just trying to get through it in one piece? I like thinking about my life from a beyond perspective. 

I want to know that I am learning a lesson that will benefit me later on. I just want to make sure I'm balancing out my forward thinking with trying to live in the moment-ness. I pray for this kind of wisdom. 

Thanks for reading! I will see you tomorrow!

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 ...
