I've been watching entirely too much Parks and Recreation lately. (It's a good show. I highly recommend it.) Anyway, there's one episode where a couple of the characters take a day to treat themselves and throughout the episode they're telling each other to "Treat Yo Self!" That sounded great to me, so I decided to … Continue reading Treat Yo Self!
Painting A Closet
This is not a how-to article, so if that's what you're looking for I suggest you keep looking. If I'm honest, I've been putting off painting my room for one simple reason: it makes me nervous. What if it looks bad? What if I spill paint everywhere? Even today as I put primer over what used to … Continue reading Painting A Closet
Calgary Stampede!
So this is long overdue, but my dad took my siblings and me to the annual rodeo in town which you probably guessed from the title, is called the Calgary Stampede. If you've never heard of it, it happens in my hometown and goes for ten days every July. There are rides, games, and food … Continue reading Calgary Stampede!
Dessert Foods
I've been absent again. Many apologies, but I had my wisdom teeth out among other things and it's surprising how lazy you get when you're in pain. But while I've been stuck eating soup and applesauce, I've dreamt of better foods—foods I'll share with you today! Here are two easy recipes that work for a … Continue reading Dessert Foods
Lately In My Closet
The summer has been hot and sticky. And boring. I barely know what to write about anymore. But I thought I should at least catch you guys up on what's been going on. Remember the closet shelf I had before? With some help from my dad, we took that out. Whoever installed it did a … Continue reading Lately In My Closet
Another Monday
My camera hasn't been working properly which is why I haven't got photos of outfits or my bedroom progress for you and it's really frustrating me. So unfortunately, I do not have an outfit of the week for you. At the moment, my room is in disarray. My mattress is on the floor, my bed … Continue reading Another Monday
Right Turn
It's Sunday night and I'm alone in my room thinking about my worst fear: The Future. Well, my future, specifically. Okay, I have a confession to make. That first paragraph was written a long time ago and I saw it while going through my drafts looking for something to write about. But tonight is a … Continue reading Right Turn
The Six-Month Mark
Wayyyyy back in one of my earliest blog posts, I said I wouldn't know for sure if I'd keep up this blogging thing until six months have passed. Well lo and behold, the six month mark was passed a few days ago and I'm still here! I guess that means I'm sticking around for a … Continue reading The Six-Month Mark
Milestone
I've noticed that when I'm really excited about what I'm writing and it no longer feels like work, I get more writing done. For example, today I finished the first draft of Book 3, began the first draft of Book 4, and typed up over four thousand words. I guess it's been a pretty big … Continue reading Milestone

My family on my mom's side is really big. My grandparents had twelve kids, twenty-eight grandkids, and two great-grandkids (and counting!). Pretty much all my cousins on my mom's side are frickin' straight-A perfect people. On top of that, I have a bunch of cousins with black belts in tae kwon do, gym regulars, track-team stars, hockey … Continue reading Support
