    Hidden Talent [30 Day Challenge]

    Day 27: Hidden Talent I got this one! My hidden talent is remembering dates. I am very good at remembering birthdays especially.

    Best Trip of My Life [30 Day Challenge]

    Day 26: Best Trip of My Life My study abroad trip to New Zealand was the best trip of my life, with my family’s vacation to Seattle in 2010 as a close second. It’s tough to really pick between the two because they were very different types of trips. My study abroad trip was a […]

    Why Do I Blog? [30 Day Challenge]

    Day 25: Why Do I Blog? I blog for many reasons. First, I blog for myself. I want to have a record of my travels, adventures, thoughts, experiences, that I can look back on when I’m older. I’m not much of a write-in-a-journal type, but this is my version. It has photos, graphics, etc. and […]

    Favorite Recipe [30 Day Challenge]

    Day 22: What is your favorite recipe? I love Kale Lasagna. I found this recipe when I was attempting to the South Beach Diet. (It was an epic fail, by the way). I like making it when we have friends over, and it’s one of Brighton’s favorites now. DISCLAIMER: This is not my recipe, this […]
