Backyard Fun!

Harry refuses to make Piper do anything she doesn't want to do so this is what we get.

Biebs is jealous Piper is getting attention so he is going to leave.

Since quarantine I have been practicing my cooking. I have some pretty epic meals going. I have mastered my Sesame chicken. Check it out: Sesame chicken, rice, and veggies!

Goodbye, So long, Farewell

I have lived with my sister for the past 29 years, however, the time has come for us to part ways. I am getting engaged and moving in with the boyfriend. Leah and Breck are moving down to the lakes in an apartment with our friend, Heather.

Here are some photos from July 1st, the big day! It was DOWN POURING! It was terrible moving weather! Honestly, everyone and everything was soaked but we did it and we managed to take some cute photos in between storms.

Piper was watching the action. Just like me, she was a little unsure. Change is hard.

July was a ROUGH month for me. I cried numerous times over my sister. I resented Harry even though moving in was my idea. I put up a huge barrier and Harry tried so hard to knock it down. I completely shut him out, but it is August now and all is well.


We managed to pull together for a super fun date night on the 4th of July.

Owning Cats

Found this great article called, "Owning Cats Can Inflict Permanent Damage To Mental Health But Nobody Bothered To Warn Us. You can read the article here. I am clearly a cat lady because I related to this article 100%. I also have an Instagram for my cat. Yeah, I am that girl. In all seriousness though if you have an Instagram look him up. His username is @mister_biebs.

This was one of my favorite pictures from the article with the caption, "We're more annoyed than scared when there's a loud noise at 3am in the morning." Biebs does this all the time!!

Welcome to my Blog!

Today, I am linking up with Kelly's Korner, "Show Us Your Singles!"

My name is Liz.

I am 24. 

I live in Minnesota.

I love Jesus.

I love spending time at the Sculpture Garden.

I have a passion for working with young children in particular with infants, toddlers and preschoolers. I am working on my B.A. degree in Early Childhood Education and should graduate Fall 2014. I am not sure what I want to do with my degree. I love the family I currently nanny for, but I know I cannot do that forever. I have thought about being a Preschool teacher, going into Early Childhood Ministry or running a childcare out of my home. For now, I am trusting in God's plan and that He will lead me where I am supposed to be. 

My cat named Mister Biebs.

I'll leave you with 15 facts about me: 

1. I am obsessed with children's literature!

3. I have two cats and a dog.

4. I want to move to South Carolina to be closer to my cousins, an ocean, and warm weather.
5. I HATE snow! I am terrified to drive in it, but I am slowly getting more confident.
6. I was in Synchronized Swimming for two years. I wish I never gave it up.
7. I like to be independent and do things on my own. According to my mom, "I march to the beat of my own drum."
8. I have never been out of the country.
9. My dream vacation would be visiting Hershey, Pennsylvania.
10. Cars is my favorite movie!
11. Spring is my favorite season, I love rain!
12. I worked as an Assistant Manager at Children's Place for two years before going back to school full time.
13. So far in my college career I have been to four different colleges and switched my major five times.
14. I do not know how to whistle.
15. I am a big kid at heart! :)

Happy Friday!!

Diesel Turns 1!

Diesel had a busy day, he helped me change the sheets...

He played outside catching bugs and enjoying the sunny weather...

He tried on his Grandpa sweater, it'll be snowing in two months you know...

Then it was party time! He tried to run away...

He was a little overwhelmed...

And a little sad he had to take a bunch of pictures because he doesn't photograph well..

But, the presents made it all worth it!

He was exhausted from his exciting day and called it a night earlier than usual!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIESEL! We Love You!!
