Lately, we have been pretty busy (as always!) Freezer meals, company, organizing, cleaning… π
Here are some of the things I have been up to lately. π
Birthdays
We have three birthdays in November birthdays! Gracie turned 15 on the 10th, Philip turned 6 on the 11th, and I’m going to turn 16 on the 22nd! π
For Gracie’s birthday, I made her some healthy, homemade Oreos. (YUM.) Man, that was SO much fun, guys! I made several different flavors… Normal, peppermint, lemon, strawberry, chocolate, peanut butter, birthday cake, caramel…Β πΒ They were super yummy (I barely managed not to eat all of them) and pretty, and so much fun to make!
Gracie and I get to be the same age for a few days! π
Haircut
Last week I suddenly got this urge to cut my hair. I wanted something different! XD
Before and after…
I really like it! π
Painting
I’ve started really getting into acrylic painting in the last few weeks. It’s so much fun!!! I only had a tiny bit of dollar store paint (which I mostly finished), but I want to order some more from Amazon or something. π
My first painting:
My second painting:Β
My third painting:Β
I did this one of a cute, tiny canvas my friend, Susie, gave me as an early birthday present. π
My fourth, and last painting (So far!):Β
This one didn’t turn outΒ quiteΒ as I’d liked, mostly because I ran out of white after doing that light blue sky… But I still like it!!! π It’s very Fall-y. π
Other Stuff
- I finally got rid of my old school book collection… XD It took me two years collect all those… LOL!
- James is my babyyy!! *massive heart eyes* (He’s growing about way too fast. XD ) Lol.
- We have been having fun with Anna Bagwell (Maggie’s cousin). Here she is playing a game with some of the kids. π
- Singing and playing guitar with visitors.
So yeah. There’s a little update for ya! π Hope you enjoyed. π
Well, I’d better go and help get the house ready for company tonight.. π

Lovely post; you’re so cute with your haircut!! Yay for your upcoming birthday! We’re fairly close in age then, I just realized, since I’ll be 16 at the beginning of December, so that’s cool!
I don’t know if you do awards or not, but I am nominating you for the Share Your Passion award on my blog, tomorrow morning, if you’re interested. No worries if you’d rather not. π Have an awesome day!! β€
