Taking a Break


Hello all my dear neglected readers! I am sorry for the lack of posts but this past week has been pretty crazy. Being the last three weeks of school, there is lots to do. Last papers, finals, last projects, and being graduation time, I also have many graduation events coming up. As a result, I've decided to take a blogging break until school is over. That's three weeks m'dears. And after that, I shall hopefully have much to acquaint you with! Now here is a song to keep your feet tapping.




Enjoy the next three weeks and keep those smiles on! Until next time!

Monday Favorites: My Mornings


It's Monday again and I've got another favorite to share with you! It's my morning routine! Maybe yours is similar to this?

My Bible and journals

 A cup of tea (preferably peppermint :))

 Scones

 The Sunrise

And the house I nanny at has a big window facing east! Perfect for watching the sky! Our God paints some pretty amazing sunrises. :)


Well, I hope you're enjoying your day! Keep your smile on! Until next time!

Wishlist Thursday: A Dream


Hello and happy Thursday to all you lovely readers out there! Today's wish list item is actually a dream that I'd love to see come true! It has to do with this fantastical place:




That's right! Barnes & Noble! Someday, I want to write a book that I find in Barnes & Noble. I don't care what kind of book, just a book. That I wrote. That I can walk into the store, find, pick up, smell the scent of new paper, hear the spine crackle as I open it, read my name on the front cover and know that the words inside, I put there! How amazing would that be!!! 


Well, that's all I've got today. Enjoy your day and keep those smiles on! Until next time! 


"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise.  The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." ~ Sylvia Plath


"If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." ~ Toni Morrison


"It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by.  How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment?  For the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone.  That is where the writer scores over his fellows:  he catches the changes of his mind on the hop." ~ Vita Sackville-West


"Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart." ~ William Wordsworth

“I declare after all that there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything but a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library!” ~ Jane Austen
