Currently—August

It’s August!!! I have to say, I’m not really all that excited about that because it means that school is coming, but on the other hand, it means football season is right around the corner! And as a huge football fan, that is a big deal for me. So, at least half of me is excited that it’s August, and I suppose that’s enough. I knew I’d have to go back to school eventually. Well, let’s get to what I’m currently up to this month!



Hearting: Full Steam Ahead by Karen Witemeyer. I just reviewed it yesterday, and if you read my review you’ll see how much I completely and utterly loved this book. As of now, I’ve read every single one of Karen’s full length novels, and I haven’t been able to get enough of her writing. She always does a flawless job of weaving together captivating stories that absolutely knock my socks off, and this book was no exception.

Watching: Okay, don’t judge, but one of my absolute favorite shows right now is Girl Meets World on Disney Channel. I grew up watching Boy Meets World, so it was only natural for me to be super excited when I found out they were making the sequel two years ago. What has actually really surprised me is that the show is decent. It’s not as good as Boy Meets World, and I never expected it to be, but it is really good in its own right and I have loved almost every single episode. Season three started two months ago, so I’ve been avidly watching each new episode, and I think this has been the best season yet. So far anyway.

Exploring: Well, I haven’t been exploring anywhere yet, but this month I will be going camping in Hamilton Branch, so I will definitely be doing plenty of exploring then. I’ve been there once before, but I’m really excited to go again, as I really enjoyed my previous trip there!

Creating: Well, I’m not really currently creating anything, other than fabulous blog posts of course. I mean, I love crafts and dabbling in the kitchen and all those sorts of things, but I just haven’t really actually done anything worth mentioning lately. However, my mom has been doing a TON of creating lately, and she made me a fantastic decal for my wall just last week. She’s currently working towards having her own successful Etsy store, and I think she’s going to nail it.

Eating: Ice cream. Always ice cream. Lately I’ve been eating chocolate and mint chocolate chip, though I like almost any flavor. And it’s almost always homemade. Since my family has multiple different food allergies, myself included, it’s easier to make sure we all can have it if we just make our own. Plus, I am starting to believe I have arthritis in both my right knee and wrist, and sugar definitely doesn’t help matters, so when I make my ice cream at home, I’m able to us more natural sweeteners that don’t bother me. Then I’m able to eat it all that much more often, which of course I love.

Well, that’s what I’m currently up to! What about you?
Happy August!

  2. Isn't Girl Meets World cute? Every now and then an episode is kinda lame, but for the most part it's just a lot better than most Disney shows. I've been wanting to read Full Steam Ahead. I'll have to try it soon.

  4. okay so I'm a youth pastor. I was explaining to one of my middle school girls how Girl Meets World came from Boy Meets World, one of my favorite shows as a kid. I AM NOT EVEN JOKING YOU - she asked if they aired the show in black & white. I was like girl how old do you think I am?! ahaha. I've not really watched much of GMW but I might have to start soon ;D

    1. Lol that's so funny!!I really enjoy it, and I like what they've done with the show. Usually you can't really expect much of Disney Channel shows, but there is a good moral in pretty much every episode! I've been pleasantly surprised!
