Proverbs

Five Favorites

Sharing five recent favorites today!

1. A Wonderful Labor Day Weekend. Highlights of the weekend included church outside, followed by a cookout and fireworks on Sunday night and spending the day with my sister’s family on Monday!

2. A convenient baby or toddler product. My mom actually turned me on to these stick-on disposable placemats. They’re nice to take along to a restaurant or have at home for messy meals or crafts.

3. The book of Proverbs. I started reading a chapter of Proverbs each day at the beginning of September and have been enjoying it. Proverbs is the perfect book of the Bible to do a daily reading from for a month because there are 31 chapters! I’ve done this a handful of times and it’s always so enriching.

4. Starting school with Sadie. I started homeschooling Sadie this week and it has been going well! She’s learning about colors and I’ve had an absolute blast planning out things to go along with the lessons (think: books, fruit loops, and balloons).

5. Vlogging. I’ve been having such a fun time getting creative with filming vlogs lately! I filmed one on Sunday, which gives a peek into our day and I also shared the curriculum I’m using to teach Sadie.

I’m planning on filming how I braid and bake challah soon because I got a special request for that! If you ever have and vlog or blog posts you’d like to see, let me know and I’d be happy to answer any questions or post about whatever it is 🙂

What’s a favorite of your lately?

Friday Snapshots

Happy Friday! Here are some snapshots of my life lately.

I was in charge of the newspaper booth at PSU’s back to school bash on Wednesday. The back to school bash is always fun because a free lunch is provided, students get to sign up for clubs (like newspaper club–woo!), and play games. And hang out with the school mascot…

I am clearly really, really good at drawing huskies and pumpkins. I’m pretty sure the husky has a stink eye goin’ on.

Brandy got walked twice in one day. She slept so hard!

Jimmy and I went to the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival for the third year in a row. It never gets old! I posted about it in 2011 and 2012.

Coffee never gets old, either. Ever.

Well, I’m off to start my Friday. I have some interviews to conduct for an article I’m currently working on. Yay for journalism!

I also wrote my first editorial of the semester the other day. It’s about Miley Cyrus’ VMA performance. You can check it out here, on PSU’s student newspaper website.

What are you up to this weekend?!
I’ve got something crazy going on tomorrow. It’s going to be very similar to this experience!
