I'll be hoommmmeee for Christmas!















Last night at Casa Charity was spent cleaning and decorating for Christmas! I usually put my tree up after Thanksgiving, but my parents brought it and my two tubs of decorations down to me last weekend, so I decorated last night.





It looks really festive! I am loving my new pre-lit tree, even if the middle of the tree has a strand that keeps blinking off. I totally did NOT add another strong of regular star lights to it to pretend that it worked. nope, not me!!














I even decorated my bathroom! The only place in my apt that isn't very Christmas-y is my bedroom. Really how can you take something pink and purple and make it look Christmas like? Well actually I did that with my bathroom but minor detail. My one consession to the season in my bedroom was switching to my red and white snowflake flannel bedding. Sadly, somehow I lost my dust ruffle in the moving process last January, so I currently have my snowflake comforter on top and my purple and white dust ruffle on bottom. I plan on just closing my bedroom door when guests come.






I decided since I was decorating I might as well spruce the place up and seriously clean. So I did. For two hours. I still have my bedroom to clean tonight. Mostly I just have clothes sitting around that need homes. (Work clothes) I seem to have more clothes than I have space to put them... hmm.. not really sure how that happened? :) So that is the goal for tonight, as well as finishing packing for the trip home to my parents farm tomorrow night!




I am SOOOO EXCITED to go home and get to spend time with my entire family. All 6 of us!! For several days. I haven't been home since Labor Day and I haven't been home at the same time as Kev and Liz since.. uh... *ponders* Mother's Day!! So that will be alot of fun! Liz and I are allready looking forward to our black friday shopping with Mom. Which if you're thinking we're those people that camp outside of stores at 4 am you are soooo wrong!




We go into the shopping mecca of Rensselaer, Indiana! And head to the world's smallest walmart. (seriously, it is!!) Walgreens (I'll think of you Coral!!) And the Dollar Tree.. Not too exciting to the rest of the world but exciting to us! And that early morning nonsense? hahahah no, we're lucky to get there by 10 am, which in Rensselaer time is really 9 am!! (gotta love the Indiana time changes!!) We're back by 2pm and then its NAPTIME for the cherrybear!! Or at least I hope it will be!!


I still have to pick out a DVD to bring home for us to watch... My movie picking reputation has been tarnished by the accidental purchasing of Jarhead two Christmases ago.. Seriously, never watch that movie. DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY!!! So I am continuously working to redeem myself. Otherwise my Dad just might kill me!!!
DISCLAIMER: I did NOT buy the toilet covering, that was ALLLLL my MOM! If you don't believe me, ask my SIL Liz, she has a matching one!! :)






JESUS IS COOL!!

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
