    This is the time of year where everything comes to a close. I have a real love/hate relationship with it because the older I get the more extroverted it seems I become. My PE program, my Bible Study program, my youth group all come to a close, and I am left at home. There’s nothing…

    I’ve thought about how much I miss blogging every week, but was just too busy living life, you know? But recently several of our regularly scheduled programming came to an end and I’m truly thankful to be back in the blogger’s seat. Some highlights the past few months have been (in no particular order): DJ…

    The thing about homeschooling is that when it comes to spring break there’s college spring break, our local county spring break, and our Bible study spring break. Sooooo we kind of end up sharing them all like one big happy family. Last week we spent a few days walking thousands of steps at Universal Studios,…

    This past Tuesday, February 11, was my birthday. If you couldn’t already tell by the title I turned 16-years-old. Age is just a number, so I don’t feel that different right off the bat, but I’m excited for this coming year. I have goals to achieve and things to do. One question I’ve been asked…

    A while ago, in December, I said that I was back. I may have underestimated the busyness of the new year and getting settled back in. But this time I am for real! I hope to post around once a week, just to share what’s going on in my life. I’m trying to be more…

    Sometimes I feel like Thanksgiving gets lost as Christmas and New Years threaten to take over the holiday season. But it’s a great time to thank God for his provisions, and, yeah, I enjoy the food. Every year my family and I make a traditional American Thanksgiving feast! I mean, we do it all, from…

    I know a lot of you might not like the title of this post, but it is really true. I’m not saying you should be all-out grinning through your whole workout, but a certain sense of enjoyment leads to better workouts. I really enjoy the Incline Dumbbell Press, so I’m going to use heavy weights…

    I love food. Which is why by far the hardest part of the fitness life for me is the diet. But sometimes it’s okay to eat some unhealthy stuff, right? Everything in moderation *wink* No, but in all seriousness it’s perfectly fine to have a cheat meal sometimes. Here are my favorite foods that don’t…

    Cardio is a big part of working out. It’s very good for your heart and is a great way to burn calories. But in my opinion … cardio isn’t fun. I mean some people like it, and if you’re one of those people then maybe you should stop reading … (jk, don’t do that, I…
