Felix | Living My Full Life

Hey! I promised I would share more of the articles that I wrote for Penn State New Kensington’s newspaper, so here they are!

Local School Increases Security Measures –> This article discusses Trinity Christian School’s recent security increase in light of parental concerns and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Conservative Nonprofit Offers Information on Congress —> This article is about Heritage Action for America, a conservative nonprofit organization that focuses on important political issues plaguing America today.

Olympic Speed Skater Sets Sights on 2014 Games —> This article includes an interview with Alyson Dudek, a 22-year-old Olympic speed skater. She’s is amazing and was really fun to interview!

Pittsburgh Business Emphasizes Passion —> This article is about a family-owned business in Pittsburgh that specializes in steel structures.

Well, the weather is going to be amazing in Pittsburgh today with the high temperature expected to be 71°, so I’m going to be doing some of this….

And maybe more of this…

Felix is quite the snuggle bug.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Hey! I promised I would share two tasty recipes.

#1: My favorite corn bread. It’s sweetened with maple syrup and honey. I make a batch (or two) of it a week for snacking or as a side dish to lunch/dinner.

#2: Tuscan chicken soup. This soup is made in the slow cooker with chicken thighs, white beans, roasted red pepper, rosemary, and other delicious ingredients. My favorite part of this soup is the super tender chicken meat.

Other things going on in my life:

My brother got me listening to “Wagon Wheel” and now I’m obsessed with it (as you can tell from the screen shot–I was listening to the song at 5:34 a.m….).

Felix continues to climb everything, Lily is still adorable, and Lola loves her fruits and veggies.

I made Jimmy’s brother a chocolate chip cookie cake because he helped me with a school project. Hopefully he forgives me for my terrible piping skills!

My dad and I went on a father-daughter date to Monterey Bay Fish Grotto on Friday. We shared a delicious appetizer of grilled tuna, salmon, and swordfish on top of a chili mayonnaise sauce.

The best part of our date wasn’t the amazing food, it was when my dad went to the bathroom and came back with like five paper towels stuffed in his pocket exclaiming that they were “so cool!” because they had fish on them. I love my dad.

I’m really lovin’ Galatians 6:9. I keep this picture hanging on my mirror as a daily reminder to never give up!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend!
