    I remember a time when free summer movies at the theatre were actually free instead of $1. But, hey, that’s still pretty good and a really fun way to stay cool. Today, my mom and I went to watch the movie IF for only a couple of dollars. Even though that movie came out last…

    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…

    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…

    You’re on the bench with a PR (personal record) on the bar above you. Your palms are sweating. You grip the bar as tight as you can. You unrack the bar, heaving the weight above you. You bring the weight down to your chest but … you can’t lift it back up. Suddenly your favorite…

    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…

    It’s been a long week and it’s only Monday. The busier the week, the more reason to menu plan, in my opinion. We feel better when we eat better. And the potential to eat out when busy is high which is no bueno because 1) it’s not in the budget 2) it leads to waste…
