A new phone , thrift shopping, going to the movies and more

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Well, I’m now writing about the month of September. I’m going to try to get through my September posts with pretty quickly. It was a pretty normal month that did not have  very many highlights. However, there are some things that happened in September that I would like to talk about, so let’s get to the first post about September 2024

9/5 – I did some at work shopping on this day. There were some really good clearance deals, including on Squishmallows! I got a very cute squishmallow that I had been wanting. I also got some 4th of July items and other summer items. I did a lot of at work shopping this month. However it would take a while to talk about all of it so I’m probably just going to write here so just know I got a lot of cool stuff at work this month including toys, stickers, and more!

9/7 and 9/8 – This was the weekend I got a new phone! I loved my Samsung Galaxy flip 3, but It was getting old and was not working well, so I got the Samsung Galaxy flip 6, and I love it! It can be stressful switching phones, but it was so worth it. I love my new phone and I’m so happy that I got it.

9/10 – This was a really great day. I went shopping at my favorite local thrift store. I bought a lot of fun items, including a hair bow, a little Squishmallow, glittery letter stickers, and a flamingo icecube tray. My favorite item that I got was a Barbie from 2004 that was still in the box! I was so happy when I saw her. I also went to one of my favorite toy stores on this day. I got some stickers and a really great squishy toy. I also went to my favorite local coffee shop. My friend met me there after a while. It was so good to see her. We went to the toy store and I showed her the squishy toys and she got one and I got another one. It was a really great day!

9/11 – Today, I went to the movies with my parents. We saw the movie Reagan. It was such a good movie. It was long, but the movie was so good it didn’t even feel like a long movie. It was very interesting and both my parents and I enjoyed it. I also saw my friend at the movies. We were going to see different movies, but it was so cool to see her two days in a row.

Thank you for reading about some of my September adventures!

My great Tennessee adventure part 2

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I had a great vacation in Tennessee, and I’m excited to tell you more about the fun and adventures I had while I was there. Without any more delay, let’s get to it!

June 29th

The big highlight of this day was going to Parrot Mountain and gardens. This is like a zoo that is focused on birds. You get to hold and feed some of the birds here. I loved seeing the big, colorful parrots here but they do have many different kinds of birds. I do recommend going to this fun and interesting place. I’m very glad that I went to this place during my vacation. It was a whole lot of fun ! The other highlight of this day was going to eat at a Mexican restaurant. It was another good day of vacation.

June 30th

This day was one that was packed full of activities! We started off the day by visiting the most visited US national park, the great smokey mountains. Since we were there during peak season, we got up very early and drove the cade’s cove loop. It was a good drive, and we made some stops where I got some good pictures and a pressed penny. Our next stop was Clingman’s dome. There is quite a hike to get up to this lookout point, but it is a pretty cool spot once you get up there. After our hike, we stopped at a visitor’s center. I bought some fun items there, including another book in the series that I mentioned in my last blog post. This book is called Hello, Smokies and I was very happy to get another one of these very cute books. Before leaving the park we stopped at one more spot because it looked like a fun place to explore. I do not remember the name of this spot, but it had a cool rock structure. When we left the park we road the Ober tram. The tram was fun to ride, but it was very busy on the way up. I liked the ride down a lot better. There were some very beautiful views from the tram. As soon as we were done with the tram, we got out of the area because it was very busy. Later that evening, we went to the Alcatraz east crime museum. This is one of the most interesting museums I have ever been to. The museum covers many topics, including crime seen investigation , cold cases, famous criminal cases, and much more. One of my favorite things here was a machine where you could print out your thumbprint on a card. I highly recommend going to this museum but I would not recommend it for children. That night I went swimming at the hotel pool. As you can see, this day was a very busy but very fun vacation day.

Thank you for reading !

A concert and a bunch of fourth of July items

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Recently, I went to my first concert of the year, and I’m getting super excited for the Fourth of July! I’m excited to tell you about it so here we go!

Going to my first concert of the year – It has been a while since I’ve been to concert so when I got an opportunity to go to one I was excited. My dad and I saw the band Anthem Lights at a beautiful outdoor venue. It was great to have a night out it helped to reduce my stress. It was a great night.

Fourth of July items – I’m getting very excited for summer and the Fourth of July! I’ve been buying a lot of July Fourth items. My work sells Claires Items, and I was very excited to see that our Claires display had Fourth of July items on it. I got a bunch of them. I also got some other Fourth of July products that my work sells. Yesterday, I got this really cool visor. I took some fun pictures in it at work. I can’t wait for summer to finally get here!!

Thanks for reading!

The best way to start the month of May

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Things have been very busy lately, and I’ve gotten behind on my blog posts. I wanted to post my Starbucks review quickly, and now that I’ve done that. I wanted to go back to the very first day of this month. I started off this very busy month with a spontaneous hangout with my amazing friend. It was a beautiful day, and we decided to get Jamba Juice. It had been way too long since we had seen each other. After Jamba Juice, we went to a local toy store because I wanted to get some stickers. The sticker selection did not disappoint, and I got a few different kinds, including a book of avocado stickers. After that we went to a local park and went on a nice walk. It was nice just to sit on a bench by the lake and watch birds while we talked. The area that I live in is very fast-paced, and it is so nice to slow down for a bit. I feel like I’m either rushing around or I’m too tired to do anything at all. It is so easy to get caught up in everything that the most important things like spending time with friends and family can get put to the side. I’m glad I started the month on a great note, and I hope it continues.

Thanks for reading !

April 2024 so far

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It has come to my attention that I have not blogged in a little bit, and I feel the need to make a blog post even though I do not have a lot to say right now. anyways, I thought I would write about the highlights of my month so far, so let’s get to it!

I’ve been enjoying some sunny days – It is sunny outside as I write this. I have been enjoying the comfort that the sunshine gives me. My cat Cooper has been enjoying it, too.

I’ve done a lot of shopping at work . All of the Easter items are on sale, so I have been getting a lot of them this month. On Saturday, I got a cactus themed Easter basket that came with stickers , a cute cactus plush, and other items. Some other items I’ve gotten this month include a sticker book, mini backpacks with fun items inside, Pez dispensers, a plastic lollypop that has squishy toys inside, and two light up toys one is Peeps themed the other is a cute bug. We have started to put out the summer items at my work, and I’m super excited about that. Last night, I bought some reusable ice cubes, but they are not regular cube shaped ice cubes. They are in the shape of fun tropical things like flamingos and pineapples!

I’ve written two pomes on Vocal Media this month . On is about coffee, you can read it HERE the other one is about sunshine you can read it HERE

Baja Fresh – I went to Baja Fresh this month . I love their food and their free stickers.

Thank you for reading about my month so far!

I finally finished reading my first book of the year

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m excited to write this post because I finally finished reading my first book of the year. The book I read was Meet Isabell and Nikki it is an American Girl book that takes place in 1999. One thing I really liked about the book was that I grew up during the 1990s, and I was nine years old in 1999, and reading this book brought back some good memories. I rated it 5/5 on Goodreads. I highly recommend reading this book!

Happy almost weekend – Christina Epperly
