Day 5 - Blog I Enjoy

Little Baby Garvin

I discovered Little Baby Garvin when I came across her chalkboards on Pinterest

I share the same love for holidays/celebrations/festiveness as Jessica does.

She has a fun, sassy personality, which makes reading her blog enjoyable.

We share similar tastes in things, so this blog is a daily read for me!

Quote It

Day 4 - Favorite Quote and Why You Love It

This is tough.

For two reasons..

-I have a hard time choosing favorite anythings

-I'm a quote junkie.  I used to have a 30 page Word document filled with quotes I liked (thank goodness Pinterest came along)

I'm going to bend the rules a bit and share a few..

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Why: My mom loves it and it's just plain true.

WHY: The times when you have nothing and when you have everything can shine the light on who you are. 

WHY: Success is wonderful, but you have to help others.

WHY: We need to recognize and enjoy the simple things more. 

WHY: As long as you're helping one person, you are making a difference.  Do what you can.

WHY: Because it's true.

What Makes You Uncomfortable?

Day 3 - Things That Make Me Uncomfortable

wearing wet clothing..especially pants

when people do things that make me feel embarrassed for them

couples arguing in public

saying no to people..sometimes

when I feel a stranger staring at me

people who think their opinion is the only opinion

Baking Secret

Day 2

Educate on something you know a lot about or are good at

Baking.

I've been told I'm good at baking.
I've made some pretty tasty treats if I do say so myself.

I'll educate you on baking by giving away my "secret".
I like to make everything from scratch. It just seems to make it more special and that's how my momma has always done it.
Made with love, anyone? ;)
Add extra of nearly all ingredients
..the yummy things at least (don't need to add extra flour, eggs, etc.)
I always add extra until it "feels right" - sounds weird, but I somehow know when to stop

Here are a few sweet treats that I was able to find on my phone!

Fourth of July pretzels and Oreo balls 

Homemade sugar cookies and buttercream frosting

Homemade sugar cookies and buttercream frosting

Lemon cookies

Not going to lie, probably the best cookies I've ever made :)
Cinnamon, white chocolate chips, chocolate chips

Happy May!

Starting the month off with the "Blog Every Day in May Challenge"

Story of My Life in a Paragraph:

I am a born and raised Ohio girl.. Daytonian to be exact.

I have always had wonderful, supportive family and friends by my side.

I continue to aspire to "make a difference".

Education, health, party planning, organizing, love, travel, and anything cute are of high interest to me.

I always thought I was going to be famous.

I went to Miami University and received a BS in Early Childhood Education and a MS in Health Promotion.

I continue to have big dreams :)
My life is good!
