Snow Day in Snohomish
I woke up at 5 this morning to the phone ringing – the school district’s announcement of a snow day. Even though I am no longer in school, the excitement of snow kept me awake. I laid in bed for 10 minutes before realizing I wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep. I then hopped […]
Love in the Little Things
After interning at the dairy, I moved back home. I have spent months thinking of how to update my blog with what I have been up to but I couldn’t think of what to say. I always think I have to write a long story with some kind of lesson learned at the end. That […]
Fernwood Creamery
I am currently interning on a small raw milk dairy farm, Fernwood Creamery. I milk cows and live in a tiny house on the property! I don’t know why trying to describe living and working on a dairy is so hard for me. Usually, I get a spur of the moment idea for a post then it turns into […]
Happy Valentine’s Day, Honey!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I wanted to share something sweet. These pictures are from Christmas time, but red and white are Valentine-y too, and this raw honey is oh so sweet! This little guy helped me fill a few dozen jars of honey to sell in the milk house. Today we flew paper airplanes! What little […]
4 Things I Did This Weekend
One thing you should know is that I don’t like to drive. When I lived in Seattle for school, I didn’t need a car. I could walk or take the bus anywhere that I needed to go. So after 3 years of not driving a car, I got really nervous if I knew I had […]
Easy Valentine’s Day Art Project
Craft time is one of my favorites! This week while nannying, Emma (age 8) and I painted hearts to decorate for Valentine’s Day. I created some symmetry hearts last year for my mom’s class. She had her students decorate them last week, and I thought it would be fun to make them after Emma’s math lesson. My […]
22 Adventures While 22
Twenty-two. It was a year full of trying new things. I nannied for a several months in Snohomish, my hometown, for a fun and energetic family with 3 kids. Then I travelled to England for the month of July to nanny for one of my professors, who quickly became a great friend. Her daughter was 3 at […]
A month without Netflix – challenge
I spend too much time watching shows on Netflix. So much that I couldn’t remember what I had watched. Last year, I watched every episode of Bones on Netflix. That was all I wanted to watch. I remember a friend asking me what my favorite song was. I couldn’t think of ANY song! All I did in my […]
Create Joy
The other day I was thinking about this New Year’s Eve. I stayed home alone. I was up in the loft of my tiny house, journaling and watching Bones or Buffy the Vampire Slayer – I can’t remember which, David Boreanaz is my favorite. I felt like I was missing out. It was a friend’s birthday and […]
