….I’m sure you know why.
I mean, look at that. What could be more exciting to my five year old mind than a line of delicious looking food?
Even better, the caterpillar gets to eat all of it (ignore the part about his tummy ache) and morphs into a gorgeous butterfly at the end.
Why can’t that happen to us? T_T
The beach is especially packed during the summer days, but I managed to find a beautiful cove that wasn’t too crowded about a couple weekends ago.
Enjoy the photos of my inner mermaid spirit :)
Ft. my favorite backpack ever from Twig and Arrow and my messy hair u.u

I give you an A for effort, Dad u_u
The more I look at this picture, the more I realize how tiny I am xD
I’ve grown up 10 minutes from the beach, and I know that I must have saltwater in my veins <3
Keep scrolling, I know you can make it u.u
Probably my favorite one <3
~ I must be a mermaid – I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.
Make every day an adventure (:

That Girl Over There
Once upon a time (actually yesterday), C and I were bored at home. We made granola.
The end.
Okay, okay! You want to know the rest of the story? Okay, sit quietly and I’ll tell you the rest of the story. So what happened was that we were at home and C was hanging around, bored.
“Why don’t we make granola?” She suggested hopefully. Inwardly and outwardly, I groaned. Most times I cook/bake/craft something with her, it ends up taking twice as long as I thought it would. And also twice as disorganized. But I, trying to be a great big sister, agreed. “Okay. Why don’t you cut up the almonds first?”
“Yay!” She squealed and ran to do my bidding. (Hee hee — by the way, cutting almonds is the longest part;) In about half an hour, we had conjured up a bowl of granola that was four times what the recipe called for. Hey, we I eat a lot, okay? So we, being two happy girls, gleefully popped three pans of granola into the oven. Proudly, I closed the oven door. “Three whole pans of granola!”
C sighed in satisfaction. “We could start a bakery,” she imagined.
“Yeah, right. Come on, let’s go play.”
I set the timer for 25 minutes, and we scampered off to play outside in the beautiful weather. In the middle of a soccer skirmish, C stopped and sniffed the air.
“Wait, do you smell that? It smells like something’s burning.” I gulped as I, too, smelled the same burnt smell wafting through the air. In one instant, I realized what happened.
“HURRY!” I screamed, running toward the door and flinging my body inside. Faster than the speed of light, I flashed into the kitchen opened the oven door and yanked out the three trays.
“Oh. Oh, no no no no!!!!”
“It’s BURNT!” shrieked C. Cautiously I looked closer. This was the first batch of granola that I’ve ever made that turned to complete charcoal. Thankfully, not the whole pan was burnt. So it was my task (I wonder why) to tediously pick out the granola-now-charcoal pieces from the pan. 
“Yeah,” I muttered. “We can totally start a bakery.”
Don’t worry! It still tasted good! ;)
Moral: Don’t count your chickens before the eggs hatch. Or in this case, don’t count your pans of granola before they potentially burn.
THE END.
That Girl Over There ~ and tell me in the comments if something like this has ever happened to you!
Hello lovely readers! Can you believe it’s November already? Fall has only one more month to display its glory! And I don’t mean just in autumn colors:)
Starbucks is coming out with some delicious sounding flavors {Chestnut Praline, Salted Caramel Mocha, Toasted Graham?! Yes please!}, and burgundy beanies, cream-colored cable sweaters, and long boots are seen pretty much everywhere. I’ve also fallen in love ;) with poring over pictures of comfort food on Instagram…
That being said, I think fall is the most fashionable season; even the trees get all posh and dressy!
Here are some photos of our own maple trees that have been patiently waiting on my bucket list!

Ahh, taking fall pictures has finally been checked off my bucket list.
Yours truly,

Me, getting my full dose of Vitamin D. And also getting the whole “good vibes” thing on. No, I’m not a hippie.
Because come on, who doesn’t love palm trees silhouetted against a gorgeous coastal sunset? #thestreetlampphotobombedme
When you keep a song in your heart, the day is always brighter. Start your mornings by praising God for waking you up so that you can have another day to perfect, polish, and beautify your character.

Yes, practicing is exhausting, but in the end, it’s worth all the sore arms and rosin stains.

Wow! Time really flies! Here I am, with only one week left to spend here in Taiwan. After more than a month in this unfamiliar land, I am so ready to go back home to the US. I know I will be leaving behind relatives, delicious food, and fun sights, but home is where the heart is, of course. However, there is a time for everything. Sometimes we must leave the comforts of our home to experience new things and risk new opportunities. Sometimes we must stay in our home and draw closer to our family members.
Today I leave you readers with a wisdom filled passage from the Bible, our light. Read, and meditate on it.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Wow…..
As we enter the New Year, keep in mind this passage when it comes to difficult situations. Pray to God, and let Him be your Lead in stormy seas. God bless.
