Personal Snippet//Day 18🎄🎄

Hey y'all! It's time for another personal snippet! This week has begun to feel much more like Christmas to me. We decorated for Christmas this week (yes, we did decorate 10 days for Christmas, don't judge us😂), and I went out and bought Christmas presents. Wednesday we got freezing rain, which was really pretty to see from inside, but slightly dangerous from the outside (I stepped outside on our porch and came quite close to falling, lol. What can I say, I am quite accident prone). Last night, I started wrapping presents. Funny story: I am not a natural wrapper. Seriously, I stink at it. However, last night I was doing a great job! I didn't cut the wrapping paper too short for once in my life, and the folding was going quite smoothly. As I taped the last piece and sat back to look at my nicely wrapped gift, I realized with horror that I had wrapped it upside down! Oops. Oh well. On Sunday, my church is having their annual Christmas candlelight service with communion. This will be the first year that I will have done it as a member of the church, as we joined this church this past January. I am very excited :). I am also taking school off all next week, so that will be nice. That's about all the news I have for now. Here are just a couple pictures for your enjoyment :)

This is our "candy cane" Christmas tree, with red and white lights. Normally we don't put it in this spot, but I think it looks so pretty here!

These are two of the presents I wrapped. The one on the bottom is the unfortunately-wrapped-upside-down-one :(

My current wallpaper on my phone, lol

    It always feels more like Christmas after I’ve decorated!! You just got you decorations up?? We’ve had ours up since the day after thanksgiving...😂 Freezing rain is the worst! Especially when you almost slip... I’ve been there multiple times😂 Ooh! A candlelight service sounds nice!!! Your tree is really pretty!!! You did a nice job with the presents!! Who will care if it’s upside down, I mean it’s still a present! That wallpaper is so cute! Pintrest is the best isn’t it? It’s cool getting to see what other bloggers and people save!!!

      Oh my! Yes, we were a little late this year in getting it up, but it's so pretty now :). Ah yes, I'm a natural clutz, lol.
      Hahaha thank you! I agree, a present is a present, upside down or not ;). Fortunately nothing was fragile, so it's okay, lol. I agree, Pinterest is great :).
      Ooh! I will be sure to check it out! Sometimes our schedules get crazy and we can't post as much as we'd like to :( but that's okay!

Q&A!!

So, my lovely new friend, Sarah Grace, gave me a very good idea for a blog post! A Q&A!! I am super excited about this! Also, Ellen from  Ellen's Musings  is doing one at the same time, so that should be fun to do it alongside her! However, she is also doing assumptions, so that is extra cool! Ask me questions in the comments below, and I will be answering them next Thursday! Please don't ask me my birthday, but pretty much all other questions are good to ask (if one happens to be too personal, I just won't answer it). Have fun! Also, I know some people might be a little confused on how to pronounce my name, lol. It's pronounced like "Kaylee" NOT "Calley." I know, it is different, but I like it! Btw, my Dad wanted to spell it Caelea (My mom vetoed that, lol) My middle name would have made that spelling even more confusing then it already is (heyyyyy that's a question you can ask "What's your middle name" ;))

Top 7 Questions Homeschoolers Are Asked

 Hey y'all! As most of y'all know by now, I am homeschooled, and have been my entire life. I've gotten A LOT of questions about being homeschooled. This post is meant to be funny, and there is absolutely no shade meant to be thrown on anyone!! Please don't take these too seriously! Here are my Top 7 Questions Homeschoolers Are Asked. 1. How do you have a social life/Do you have friends? Surprisingly, I get this one all the time.  I really don't understand. Yes, I have friends!! Church is a great way to meet people. If you play sports, there's another way (and yes, before you ask, homeschoolers do play sports.) to meet great people. Also, if you have friends of friends, often times you meet the nicest people that way. 2. Do you get to do school in your pajamas? This has many different answers depending on who you talk to. For me personally, I do not wear my pajamas to school because I have to get up, get ready, and be downstairs to start school by 8:00. But ye...

I'm Back!!

Hey y'all! I sincerely apologize for not posting for almost 3 months . Has it really been that long? Yes, yes it has. I did not intend on abandoning this blog for that long, but here we are, two and a half months later. I just now have seen the comments asking where I'm at, and I apologize for not responding to those. However, I am back and I don't intend on being gone that long again. Thank you so much for your patience!  So, where have I been? Well, to be honest, I've been living my life. Nothing drastic happened, and I celebrated my seventeenth birthday a couple months ago :). I really don't have an explanation as to why I haven't posted, but I am sorry! I had no idea the last time I posted that it would be the last time for quite awhile. Sheesh!! I plan on posting more "devotional" type posts in the future, so stay tuned :). School has been quite busy these days, and I got behind at one point, so I am just now *finally* getting caught back up.  Y...
