It’s 2021

January 1, 2021

Long time no see. Happy New year! It’s been about 9 months since I’ve written a blog post. When my blog hosting expired back in August I went back and fourth about just not renewing it and deleting this blog all together. But I knew I wouldn’t be about to forgive myself because this blog just holds so many memories. Even if I don’t update it much anymore, I at least want those memories/old posts to look back out. I’ve grown so much as a person since started this blog back in 2013 and I it really makes me smile going back and re-reading old posts.

Thanks Animal Crossing: New Horizons

April 20, 2020

Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Warning, this post isn’t going to be super long. This post is mainly to show my appreciation and gratitude for a little game called Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I’ve been a fan of Animal Crossing since it’s 2001 release but for some reason New Horizons hits different! Well, I know the reason. With everything that’s going on in the world and with the “Shelter in Place”, I’ve found myself in a slight… I don’t want to say depression. I’ve just been feeling antsy and anxious.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons could not have come out at a better time! I find myself playing for hours upon hours each day. It’s such a great escape and it’s so darn fun. It’s so much fun that about three and a half weeks ago I decided to really get into the Animal Crossing community by creating an Animal Crossing IG account.

(And you guys, I just hit 500+ followers!).

Happy Easter + The New Normal

April 12, 2020

Adult Easter Basket IdeasHappy Easter! I know I don’t normally post on the weekend but let’s face it, we are facing a new normal these days. I don’t know about you guys but I’ve been going stir crazy. I’ve just been sitting at home these past almost 4 weeks. Not just that, I’ve been feeling kinda bummed because I can’t interact (well face to face) with my friends, co-workers or family. But, I always tend to look for the sliver lining in situations so at least I am healthy and still employed. 

Still, I can’t deny that it’s been super hard to stay positive lately. That’s why I am trying to focus on the little things that make help me smile, even if it’s just for a second. You all know that I LOVE holidays, so I decided to treat myself this Easter.

Here’s what the “Easter Bunny” got me:

Weekly Planner Spreads by Month: March 2020

April 8, 2020

Happy Planner Weekly Planner Spread IdeasHappy Wednesday friends! Welcome back to another installment of my Weekly Planner Spreads by Months series. I know we are already a full week into April but I’ve been busy busy busy with work and just haven’t had much time to take/edit the photos for this post. At first I thought I would just skip sharing my March planner layouts but I knew I’d regret it later if I didn’t share them.

Better late than never, right?

I really want to get back into the swing of blogging and start uploading more (like I used it). Next week will mark a full month of working from home and I think I’ve finally gotten the hang of it/into a good rhythm. So hopefully, my blogging schedule can get back to normal. 

Here’s my weekly planner spreads for March:

12 Months of Happiness: March 2020

March 30, 2020

Work from home home office setupHappy Monday. Long time no see (again). I think it goes without saying that this past month has been hectic for pretty much everyone honestly. It’s crazy to think that last month I was living it up at Disney World without a care in the world. And now here am I on week three of social distancing/staying home.

Like most places my state, Illinois, has a “stay a home” order in place. (Which I’m thankful for). And although this order only took effect last week, my job was a little ahead of the curve when it came to working remotely. I officially starting working from home Thursday March 12. So this week will mark three weeks of remote working.

With everything going on, it’s so important now more than ever to focus on all those little happy moments!
