A Day in My Life

Hey y'all!

Today I am posting a day-in-the-life of me post. So let's get on with my day!  This day is actually yesterday, so it's basically what I did yesterday. :)

First, I woke up and did my devotions on the YouVersion Bible app, and caught up on my Instagram feed and some other good stuff.

Then, I got dressed.  I wore a pink skort with a blue tee.

After I got dressed, I made my bed.

And let the dogs out.

Then I took them outside.

Then I fed them. I fed them some egg yolks, from the night before's boiled eggs, with their kibble.

*sorry for the bad quality pic

 After I fed the dogs breakfast, I made myself a breakfast.

And in the summer my sisters like playing games, so I played States and Capitals. We know all of the capitals, but it's the only Go Fish game that we have.

After I was done with my game and breakfast, I headed upstairs to do some blogging.

I also just sort of hung out and listened to Pandora and worked on some Daily Journal pages.

I got some popcorn too!

After I was done blogging, I went downstairs and got a lunch and played a game.

I had strawberries, turkey roll-ups (turkey roll-ups are deli turkey with Laughing Cow cheese, rolled up in a little roll), fries, and a popsicle.

After I ate, I did some dishes and played Mario Kart Wii.

When I was done, I got ready for church.  I wore a tee with jean shorts and white sandals.

Then, I ate eggs, bacon, and fruit salad for dinner.

And then I went to church.

My day was pretty boring, but I hope that you liked this post.

Thanks for reading, y'all.

Meet My Pets

Hey y'all!

It's Allie, and this week I'm going to post about my pets.

My family has a dog, and I have a dog of my own.

Our family's dog is Riley.

Riley is a Yorkshire Terrier, who is almost seven years old.

Riley loves finding things to hunt in the backyard, like the beach ball in the pool, or the lizard in between the hoses.

If my dad goes outside Riley is right underneath his feet to go out too.

Riley is small, about seven pounds, but he thinks he's big, he also thinks he's a human.

If there are dogs on the TV, Riley is right there to bark at them ferociously.

When his hair grows long enough, I like to give him a little ponytail on the top of his head, because his hair is often in his eyes.

Riley's favorite words are lizard, squirrel, camping, cheese, bone, and treat.

Riley doesn't really like it when you snap, clap, or flick your finger near him, he starts barking.

Riley has surprised us many times, but recently, when we were at the lake, he was walking in the water and we would through things in, like little sticks or pinecones, and he would try to get them in his mouth and bring them back to us! He has always hated water, but for some reason he has enjoyed being in the water at the beach and lake lately.  I've claimed that it's his mid-life crisis, because he's in his mid 40s, in dog-years of course. Do dogs go through mid-life crises?

My dog is Ellie, she is mentioned often in my posts, here are some posts about her.

Ellie is a Beagle and Basset Hound mix, who is about 2 or 3.  She is a rescue dog so we don't know her birthday.

Ellie loves to tear up toys, eat, and run.

She licks her paws, and occasionally when she's on the couch, she licks it to get it clean.  She is definitely the cleanest dog I know! :)

Ellie is sweet and she knows that I am her "Mommy".

Ellie loves belly rubs and bones.

She is fun-loving, adorable, sweet, and she loves hugs.

Mighty to Save

Hello!  Emily from A Purpose and A Promise here, and this is my first time posting on this blog. I am so excited to be able to contribute to this lovely blog! 

Today, I'm here to share some of the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, Mighty to Save by Laura Story. 

Everyone needs compassion, a love that's never failing

Let mercy fall on me

Everyone needs forgiveness, a  kindness of a Savior

The hope of nations

Savior, He can move the mountains

My God is Mighty to save

He is Mighty to save

Forever, Author of salvation

He rose and conquered the grave

Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me

All my fears and failures and fill my life again

I give my life to follow everything I believe in

Now I surrender

Yes, I surrender

Shine your light and let the whole world see

We're singing for the glory of the risen King Jesus

You're my savior

You can move the mountains

God, You are Mighty to save

You are Mighty to save

Forever, Author of salvation

You rose and conquered the grave

Yes, You conquered the grave

You are Mighty to save

I just love these lyrics! They emphasis how much we need Jesus and how much He has done and is doing for us. He can take our nothingness and make it beautiful for His glory.

Thanks for reading! :)

5 Basic Steps for Writing Stories

Hey!

This week's theme is "writing", so I'll be talking about Steps to Write Basic Stories.

1. Journal thoughts about characters

To develop well-thought characters, it's good to journal about their traits and how they look.  Going on baby name websites has been a huge help for me, so that I can see the meanings of some of my favorite names.

2. Look at writing inspiration on Pinterest

Create a writing board on Pinterest (it could even be a secret board) and pin fun inspiration for your writing.  You can pin outfits for you to describe in stories, houses, etc.

3. Thinking of people you know, and developing characters with some of their traits and such

I like thinking of people that I know and using some of their personality traits or their middle name, stuff like that.

4. Journal EVERYTHING!

Just journal everything!  Journal ideas, thoughts, words, personalities, and everything else.  You never know when you'll need that inspiration.

5. Create a writing notebook

Create a writing notebook, to keep everything organized.  You can make a name sheet to put in there and to just keep all of your inspirational juices organized, in one spot.

I hope you enjoyed this post! :)

Have a good week!

Outfit Of The Day

Hey everyone! This weeks theme is OOTD, so I thought I'd share a picture of the outfit I'm wearing today.
So, today was a stay at home day, so I just wore a blue and white striped maxi skirt with a turqoise t-shirt and a bright orange jacket. =D I got both the skirt and t-shirt at Target, and the orange jacket is from one of my dance costumes last year.

I will see you next week!

God bless!
