Why I love Frozen {it’s not what you think}

Disney’s Frozen, AKA best movie ever, came out two years ago today!! WHOA!! I can’t believe how quickly time has passed. It seems like just a month ago I was that senior in high school who was more excited about the new Disney princesses than she was about graduation. No really… That was me… I was (and still am) a complete Frozen fan girl. But when I was a junior and senior in high school, I loved to peruse Pinterest in search for the… Read more »

And it’s Thanksgiving Again :)

And it’s Thanksgiving again. The time for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, turkey shaped cookie, football, food and pre-black Friday sales. Oh, and it’s a day of giving thanks. We mustn’t forget about that. As Christians, we’re called to make thanksgiving a way of life. Thanks is something we should give everyday of the year. I’ve learned a lot about thanksgiving this year, such as how we can give thanks in the hard times, why we should give thanks, and even how… Read more »

The Golden Vlog // All About Jobs!

So today I’m trying out something new… A VLOG!!! I have never vlogged before, but it was a lot of fun!

This vlog is a part of The Golden Vlog series that Faith of Life w/ Mrs. G and the Artist started a while back. I first found out about The Golden Vlog at the end of… Read more »

When Life Gets Crazy and You Don’t Have Time to Blog…

^My life right now. For reals. I know I said at the beginning of this month that I want to be better at blogging consistently. Ha! That was back before I looked at all my syllabuses (Syllabi? What is the plural of syllabus???) for all my classes and realized I have a million and one things to do this month. Well, maybe not quite that many, but I do have several projects/papers in each of my classes due the week… Read more »

The ABCs of Me

The first graders to whom I’m teaching Spanish finished learning the Spanish alphabet this past Friday!! Whoo hoo! I’m so proud of them. A while back Anna of She Is Joyful wrote a post entitled “The ABCs of Me.” I thought it was such a cute idea. So today, in honor of my awesome first graders, I’m sharing the ABCs of Kara. Here we go… A- Age: 19 B- Best Day Ever: There have been plenty off awesome and memorible days after this, but… Read more »

Because Christmas.

So, Halloween was lots of fun :) I dressed up in the ceiling fan costume I made last year, and then spent the day helping one of my besties, Bre, make her Halloween costume. She decided to be a scarecrow, and I had a blast stuffing her with straw. While we were at the dollar store buying costume supplies, I stumbled across some foam swords. And got really excited. Because foam swords are awesome. So I bought 3 swords so Bre and… Read more »

Concerning Cooking…

I’ve only been back on campus for a little over a week now but that’s apparently plenty of time to have more than a fair share of kitchen adventures. Who knew cooking could be such a learning experience? ;) Basically I’ve learned this week that I’m nowhere near food-blogger status. Oh wells. Maybe someday. Anywho, here are my kitchen adventures from this week. 1. Our first night in our apartment, my roommate and I cooked a frozen pizza. And we discovered… Read more »

What I Missed While Abroad

So, one night while in Costa Rica I was feeling exceptionally homesick and so I decided to grab my journal and a pen and let my emotions explode on the paper. The following is what happened: I miss my ukulele. I miss blogging and the stress that comes with it. I miss MBC {my Church}. And Traci and Kacie and the kids there. I miss doing laundry whenever I want. I miss hot sunny days. I miss hot showers. I… Read more »

The Girl Who

I am the girl who wears mixed matched socks, all the time. I’m the girl who would rather wear socks than go barefoot- even when she sleeps. I am the girl who grew up on Andy Griffith and I Love Lucy reruns. I am the girl who is a complete cat person. Cats are the best pets ever. I am the girl who grew up playing with miniature American Girl dolls instead of Barbies. I am the girl who, as a child, divided up her… Read more »
