Here I Am Again

 

 

 

 

Yeah, it's been awhile.

 

And, yes, I have neglected this little blog.

 

And, yep, here I am again.

 

I honestly think that December is the busiest month of the year.

It was a wonderful Christmas, calm, relaxing, but then at the same time

busy and crazy.

 

January. January opens a new year. A fresh start. 2.0.1.6.

This January I attempted (or, rather, I am attempting) the Whole 30 diet.

 

What is Whole 30?

Whole 30 is a diet designed to "clean out your system". For a month you don't eat any sugars, grains, or starches.

 

Why in the world would anyone do that?

During the Holidays I really had been eating a lot of junk and it wasn't effecting my body in a good way. For example, I have had severe eczema since I was 3 months old (eczema post here ) the worse I eat the worse I feel and often that "worse-ness" comes out in my skin.

Solution? Whole 30--purifying your diet, therefore, cleaning out your system, which results (hopefully) in a healthy body and clear skin. more about whole 30 here )

 

Bored yet? Ok, we're moving on.

 

We started school this week and already it feels like I've been doing school for

weeks. But I do love being busy again and waking up with a purpose and mission.

(As in study those Vocabulary words or die...)

 

Oh, yeah, and does anyone else have this problem? The problem when you really, really hate math, and there is just no way to motivate yourself to do the dreaded and hated math?

 

anyways. thanks for putting up with my ramblings.

 

see you next time

Adventure to the Mountains

 

It's kinda hilarious. I've named this post "Adventure to the Mountains", and true, we were staying on a mountain, but these pictures are going to be of little book shops, mostly.

 

 oh the joys of mirrors...

 

But, anyways... last week my family and I ventured south...or east... (let's just say I don't really know) and stayed on a mountain. The plan was to go skiing...but...no snow and no coldness...so we went to an indoor waterpark and a zip line and went into to town and shopped. It was a ton of fun, and I have pictures to prove it.

 

It's Been a Lovely November



Hello, you lovely reader. I'm back. After just about a month of not posting I'm back.
November was one of the most busiest months this year. Thanksgiving, my birthday, family, & friends. School has also been a headache, but for the most part I have really enjoyed my little 8th grade year so far. (But, of course that doesn't mean that I'm happy--more than happy--to be on break.)

Oh, yeah, and I said that my birthday is in November. So, for that my mom took me and my sister out to a Bed & Breakfast.
It was a blast, the B & B was yellow (which of course made me happy) and the actual breakfast was so yuuuummmmyyy (corn hash & poached eggs).

I found a brick wall (my little sister took this picture of me)

 A new friend

 those eyes, though

 for my birthday I got some pretty awesome chucks--I absolutely love yellow--'nuff said

 I was part of the decorating crew for Thanksgiving--it was so much fun--and I drew all the placemats, 25 of them

 

 

 

How was your November?

 

Ah, yes, and now for Christmas.
