March Recap

March was a long month… A lot of crazy stuff happened, as I’m sure you know! 😉 It wasn’t a bad month though. A lot of good things happened too! And I haven’t been bored even the tiniest little bit either…  XD

Yup. XD 

But yeah, boredom isn’t a thing for me. Life has been mostly normal for me personally, except for church. (So sad!!!)

Gracie and I have a goal to walk 100 miles this Spring! 😀 

My lil’ buddy ❤ ❤ ❤ 

James can do more pushups than I can, lol XD 

Yes, there’s still TP at the store here, lol… XD 

 

Mom had her 40th birthday this month! 😀

I organized bookshelves a couple days ago… Whew, that was quite a job! Lol! ;P 

I have also been doing a lot of art lately, and started learning to draw people, which has been lots of fun! 😀

I drew this picture of my friend, Kyra! 😀

I also painted my sketchbook cover, and even though it could be better, I love how it turned out! 🙂 😀

Another exciting thing that happened this month was our church’s 4th anniversary! Well, technically it was last month, but we celebrated it this month, right before the quarantine started. 🙂 Here is our church picture (minus a couple families). 😉

So yeah. It’s been a pretty good month for me, despite all the crazy stuff that’s been going on. 😀

And, I shall end this post, with this very deep and thought-provoking meme. (JK) XD

Have fun at home, ya’ll!! 😉

P.S. I just realized I should do a post with the ultimate list of boredom busters and stuff. I never truly get bored, but I always love reading those anyway and trying out the ideas. What do y’all think? 🙂

A Monday in the Life of Me

Hey guys! 😀 

So, I’ve been wanting to do this post for quite a while, but have never gotten around to it. But finally, here I am! Here is what a “normal” Monday looks like for me. 🙂

6:50 AM: I wake up at but decide to stay in bed until my alarm clock goes off, which is at 7:00. When my watch starts beeping, I get up, brush my teeth, get dressed and read my Bible. 🙂

At 7:45 We start eating breakfast (Eggs and leftover pancakes), and at 8:00 I go to pick up our maid, Lucia, and her daughter.  (They come twice a week.) 🙂

When I get back, I put on beans for lunch. (They can often be quite dirty, so they take a lot of cleaning!!!) XD

By around 8:45 I’m ready to start school! 🙂

11:00: I take a break from school and practice guitar and piano. After half an hour, I return to finish school.:)

11:55: I finish my school, and there’s still a bit of time before lunch, so I work for a while on a painting that I’ve been working on.

12:30: We eat lunch. (The beans I cooked this morning) 🙂

1:00-1:30: In which I kinda just hang around doing nothing….. XD

1:30: I work on my after-lunch chore – organizing toy cabinets. (Again!!!) XD

2:30: I bring Lucia to the store and then drop her off at her house. 🙂

3:30: *Starts to make cinnamon rolls*  *Aaaand we don’t have yeast* XD So I sit down to read for a while instead. 🙂

4:30: Mom and Dad leave on a date, while I stay with the kids. The first thing I do is start making popcorn for supper… ;P

Yum!!!!! 😀 

5:00: We eat popcorn and cheese for supper while watching a movie. (We watched Drive Thru History) 🙂

7:00: My parents are home, and my sister Susie and I start making cinnamon rolls her birthday tomorrow. (She’s turning 5!) 🙂

8:15: I am now sitting here at the computer, writing this post…. 🙂

Welp, I guess that brings an end to my Monday. Its been a great day! Thanks for joining me!!! 😀

In Christ,

Rosy ❤ 

How was your day? Should I do another one of these posts? If so, which day of the week? 

 

 

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving! (And Happy Birthday to Me…!)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!  I hope everyone had a wonderful (and thankful) day. 😉

Some of the things I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving are: (not in any particular order)

• God’s love
• My family
• My friends
• This blog, and all my blog followers
• Music
• God’s Word
• Food 
• Books
• A warm fire
• And much, much more!!

A few days ago, we celebrated Thanksgiving with friends (two families) who we haven’t seen since, well, last Thanksgiving. We had a great time with them! 😀

The little guys… Aren’t they cute?! ❤

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

And also, a few days ago (on the 22) I turned 16! Thanks so much to everyone who help make my birthday special! 🙂 ❤

~Rosy

What are some things you are grateful for? What did your family do for Thanksgiving? 

What I’ve Been Doing Lately…

Lately, we have been pretty busy (as always!) Freezer meals, company, organizing, cleaning… 😀

Here are some of the things I have been up to lately. 🙂

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! 🙂

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… 😄 They were super yummy (I barely managed not to eat all of them) and pretty, and so much fun to make!

Normal, stawberry and birthday cake flavors.

YUM!

Lemon flavor!

Gracie and I get to be the same age for a few days! 😀

Haircut

Last week I suddenly got this urge to cut my hair. I wanted something different! XD

Before and after…

I really like it! 🙂

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. 🙂

My first painting:

I LOVE how this turned out!! ❤

My second painting: 

My third painting: 

I did this one of a cute, tiny canvas my friend, Susie, gave me as an early birthday present. 🙂

 

My fourth, and last painting (So far!): 

I painted it on a piece of cardboard because I didn’t have any canvas… XD

This one didn’t turn out quite as I’d liked, mostly because I ran out of white after doing that light blue sky… But I still like it!!! 😀 It’s very Fall-y. 😉

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. 🙂

• Singing and playing guitar with visitors.

So yeah. There’s a little update for ya! 😀 Hope you enjoyed. 🙂

Well, I’d better go and help get the house ready for company tonight.. 😀
