Daily Blog Challenge: Day 23



List your top 3 hobbies and why you love them.


Writing blogs... I find that it is a great way for me to process situations and it challenges me to find God in all situations. I seek His word and I end up transforming as the words flow onto the screen. I have alway loved to write, but I stopped years ago when I could not handle the pain that came from physically writing. 

Watching Children... I don't know if many would considering babysitting a hobby... but when I look at the facts it is something I love to do and often don't get paid for. I have been blessed in being able to generate a small amount of income but even if I weren't able to I would still do it. 

I like creating things... I don't like using a method or a structured process. I just kind of like making things up and seeing what comes of it. I have made cloth diapers, duct tape purses and wallets, and other random things. I find it relaxing.

"Have a New Husband by Friday"

Image
I decided to take Abbie to the bookstore a little over a week ago, on Friday September 21st. I was in hope of finding some book series that I could get her to read that would spark a love of reading. I naturally do not have a love for reading but rather lothe it.  When I was growing up I had several issues with reading and never truly felt sucked into a book like I would hear other describe. The star wars book were a huge solution to my parents struggle to get my oldest brother to read. He founds something he connected with and had a passion for. I want that for Abbie. We picked her up a book about a mermaid. We have yet to start it due to the chapter books she has to read for school. I am hoping to get back into the rhythm of things at home. I also decided that it is important for her to see me reading more, if I want her to read. I love reading the Bible and get so much from it but if faking a passion for reading would help her it is worth it. It might also teach me more discipli...

I Could Have Just Died (Most Embarrassing Moment)

Image
I haven't done a writing prompt from Mama Kat's Workshop, so when I saw that one of the prompts was to tell an embarrassing story I thought I just had to share. Hopefully, this will lift your day as it usually seems to get a good chuckle out of my friends and family. I don't usually embarrass easily, I contribute it to the fact that I am silly and usually like to do weird things. I have also stated that I like to be completely honest with people. There is a kind of freedom that comes with transparency. The day seemed like any other. We had gone to my mother in laws house to pick up Abbie, she was only a couple years old at the time. Any trip to my mother in laws house is not a quick one, and usually I don't mind it. I went and sat on her front porch to "catch some fresh air", which was my code for smoking a cigarette. (I am so glad that I am finally free from that addiction.) As I sat there I noticed how beautiful it was outside. The sun was shining but...

How NOT to Impress a Crush (Most Embarrassing Moment Part 2)

Image
I recently did a post on my most embarrassing moment inspired by Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop. After writing it I had comments asking me to share the other embarrassing moment that I had mentioned in the other post. So here it goes... It was pretty bad.  During my sophomore year of high school there was a guy in my home room that I had a crush on. He was handsome, was in a band, and was funny. We shared the same group of friends. One night his parents were out of town and he was having a pool party at his house after his band preformed. It was going to be the coolest event. When we got there he showed all of the girls where we could go to change into our swim suits. I had the chance to change and joined everyone at the pool. It was the most fun time. Time went so quickly and soon I had to run before I missed my curfew. I threw my clothes on over my swimsuit, jumped in my car, and got home. I had a strange feeling that I had forgotten something but quickly dismissed it.   ...
