A while back I had an idea of asking those apart of the Joy Because Grace newsletter to submit any questions they had for me to be addressed in a Q&A format blog post. I love Q&A style posts, and I think this could be a fun way for y’all to get to know me better. At the end of the post I’ll tell you how you can submit questions if you’d like :) Let’s get started… How old are… Read more »

As many of y’all know, I attended my first bloggers conference the last weekend in July. Heading into the weekend I felt very nervous. I didn’t know anyone who was going, I knew I was going to be one of the youngest people there, and I was worried about how I was going to get from the hotel to the church were the conference was held, since I wasn’t going to have a car with me. If you’re a part… Read more »

Hey y’all! I’m going to my first ever blogging conference in a little less than a month and I am SOOOO excited :) :) :) It’s the Declare Conference which is hosted in Dallas, Texas. And since it’s almost time for the conference, and so the Declare team thought it would be fun for us to do a link up to get to know each other. And seeing as how it’s been a while since I’ve done an “About Me”… Read more »

So today I’m trying out something new… A VLOG!!! I have never vlogged before, but it was a lot of fun! (Despite the video spazzing… and then YouTube spazzing…. and me having absolutely ZERO clue about how to edit a video on my phone…..) 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 »

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 »

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 »

Like many students, in my mind the new year starts in August, not January. So, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! **Throws confetti** My sophomore year is about to begin. Next Thursday I move back on campus- I can’t wait!! I’m so excited to see how my roommate and I decorate our apartment. I’m excited to see all my friends again. I’m excited to be on campus again! I love my university! In the light of this new year, I thought I… Read more »

So, I turned 19 on Sunday. And at some point that day it hit me that I only have one more year as a teenager. Around Pinterest I’ve seen some other people have created a “Thirty Before Thirty” bucket list for themselves. I rather like that idea. However, since I’m not in my twenty’s yet, I thought I would create a “Twenty Before Twenty” list. And, considering I only have one year to complete these tasks, I thought of practical-… Read more »

Silly is better than serious because… 1. Silly is better than serious because sometimes your parents want you to take a “cute-Easter-Sunday-picture” with your brother, but you really don’t feel like taking a normal picture. 2. Silly is better than serious because sometimes you and your friends want to lean dramatically from a lamp post…at night…after a movie… 3. Silly is better than serious because sometimes you just feel like dressing up like sailors and making the bathtub be a boat…. Read more »

The Six Most Impactful Moments of my Teen Years. Today I’m sharing with y’all six impactful moments of my teen years. (Well, six positive moments. I don’t really care to think about the negative moments today.) I’m really excited! Each of these moments are very dear to my heart, and they have shaped me to the young woman I am today. (Note: These moments are listed in order of my age when I experienced them, not in order of importance.)… Read more »
