Winter is here!

So after my last post, I totally jinxed myself. I have had the flu since Tuesday night and it has kicked my butt! I went to the dr. got some drugs and they are starting to pay off, but man does it knock you out for a couple days.

Today we have gotten about 6 inches of snow and I'm so glad I didn't have to go out into it. It is gorgeous though. One thing about living in Michigan, you get to see all 4 seasons. Beautiful snow in the winter, certain flowers that bloom in the spring, the great lakes for the summer, and absolutely stunning colors of leaves in the fall. It is a pretty great place to live. This winter has been up and down though, two weeks ago it was 60 degrees and the following day was 17 degrees. Definitely a change we aren't ready for.


My pup loves playing in the snow! It's hard to get him to stand still for a picture, but I got one of him. :)


He loves being outside and romping through the snow.

Happy Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday! Monday is over and the week I feel is starting out better for  Tuesday then Monday. My fiancĂ© is sick along with his mother. My boss was sick last week and I am trying me best to not become sick. A lot of people might laugh, but I take the little packages called, "Emergen-C." They seem to work and always make me feel better and drinking them, and (knock on wood) I haven't gotten anything this year.

It's been a couple days since I've blogged, but those days have definitely been filled with tons of things going on. Today I was able to be in an infant classroom for one of my classes and I absolutely loved it! I changed my major from Elementary Education to Early Childhood Education and it has been great. I love working with the really little ones. :) It has been a great morning and I didn't want to leave when my observation time was up! But I left so I could go type up my paper which I have been working on since 9:40am and it's not 11:00am.

In other news I decided that I am going to add another tab on my blog page. I really wanted to focus on something while blogging and I've decided that it's going to be about fitness. I won't put much on this one because I was an eclectic view, but it will be there for others who might be interested. I did order a workout video based off a TV show. I know sounds pretty lame, but I am excited to get it and see how well I do. I have a gym membership so I figured this would be a good mix between the two. I feel that the gym becomes a repetitive and sometimes boring place to go. I'm learning to own the gym, but there are still people in there way more dedicated that make me feel like I'm not there enough. The first thing I want to post in the other one is a video from a facebook page, "Spot Me Bro." It's funny and how I feel when I go to the gym.

I also have been pinteresting a lot and I always want to make everything on there. I'm thinking about making soap, crocheting, painting, food, and everything else in between. I feel so ambitious when I pin it and after that it goes out the window. My plan is to maybe add another tab also about things I make from pinterest. This will be a goal of mine as time goes by and work and school aren't my main focuses.

What are some of your hobbies/ goals/ dreams? I always wonder what others are doing or have/want to accomplish. One goal I reached recently was photographing a Home Coming for a friend who has a boyfriend in the Army. It was such a great experience and I learned new things I have never seen or done before.  I would love for people to comment and share things that they do or want to do. Maybe one day I'll get comments on here!!

Take Two!

Every day is a new one...

Holy long day today! Up and at work at 7am and not home until 8pm. Work was a little crazy, but it keeps me on my toes. :)

Still trying to figure out if my blogs should be themed or if I should just write about the things that happen everyday... Any suggestions are fine!

Butttt, I'm really stuck right now on wanting to open up my own bakery. I was thinking about making a ton of things and then when a farmers market comes up, getting a booth and seeing if people in the public like my food as much as I do. A co-worker of mine has made a delicious and popular "scotcharoos!" (Don't know if the spelling is right)  Butterscotch, peanut butter, chocolate, and rice crispys. Of course there are other things in there, but those are the main ones. They are DELICIOUS!

I make killer cupcakes from scratch. Confetti are the best and I am perfecting my chocolate. I'm not a fan of fake chocolate, so I don't want to make something with that either. (:
     I need to think of a name for my business... I also want to make it an online bakery. Sent to people with love with each package.

I totally feel like I'm just going on about nothing interesting now so I think it's time to wrap it up! Shark Tank is on tonight and I can't wait, love the information they share with people who come in. If you haven't seen it, go watch it tonight or look up older episodes!



(ps) This is my puppy! His name is Doctore and he is a Boxer. His name comes from a show, Spartacus. (check that show out too if you like gladiators and roughness)
