April Highlights


It was a pretty slow month, but it was good none the less. I enjoyed all the time I got to spend at home.


Our family celebrated Passover and Easter alone. We normally have people join us, but we had fun just our family. We had church online, took a long walk down to a tunnel, and cracked a whole lot of confetti eggs over each other's heads. ;)

I've been exchanging videos with the kids I babysit. I've been able to share videos of the puppies with them and seeing their little faces has been awesome!

We worked a lot at our food pantry. They have a lack of volunteers right now, so my family's been helping out.

As I already said, our dog Belle had seven puppies. They are three and a half weeks old now, walking, eating real food, and trying to escape 90% of the time. ;) My puppy, Ranger (Pictured far right below), has been super cuddly this week. <3



My Bible study group has finished it's study on Act's via Zoom meetings. This was my first year with Bible Study Fellowship and it was the best study I've ever been a part of. I'm looking forward to next year's study.

Since this month is Camp NaNo I worked on re-writing my book Battle for Kelar. I was majorly behind almost the whole month and didn't manage to catch up to the last week. And then it was only because of a lot of days sprinting with my friend Micaiah. But, I made it with 25,000 words and really enjoyed getting to write that much.

My siblings and I went stargazing late into one night. We laughed, and talked, and almost fell asleep out on our lawn. It was awesome to have some time together because the next day my brother left for New York to work at the Samaritan's Purse hospital there.

My sister Rose and I painted shirts together. It was a fun quarantine project, and now we've got matching t-shirts.


I read fairly slowly this month, which felt good. I enjoyed reading slower. I got to buddy read Becoming Nikki with my friend Kate. <3 
Ember's End was my favorite new read of the month, and The Number of Love was my favorite re-read.

    1. Thanks, it was a great month! Ohh, that is so fun! What do you like to watch on Netflix? Oh, congradualtions! It's always awesome to have school done for the summer!!
      Haha, I know how that goes. I attempted to size down a shirt last month and that resulted in the shirt being way to small. Thankfully it wasn't one I cared about to much. XD
      I hope you get to!

    2. My definite favorite thing to watch on Netflix is always Gilmore Girls (I'm only on season 6.) but also the last few days i've been LOVING The Good Witch again. Both such good shows oh my goodness!! What about you?? Oh no!! XD I can definitely say that I've done stuff like that before. My eye for crafting and sizing doesn't always quite work hahaha! Me too!!

    3. Fun! I haven't watched either of those, but I've heard a lot about them! I don't have Netflex, but I have Prime, and I love watching Star Trek, and older westerns with my sisters!
      Yeah, it's a tricky process. XD
