Hello, my bucket list friends! It is crazy that I’m writing this right now ! This year really surprised me with how fast it went by. I’m still going to catch up with my 2025 blog posts but I will also be writing about my adventures in 2026 at the same time to prevent me from getting even more behind. 2025 was a year that was full of adventure, learning , resilience, creativity, and most of all faith. I crossed off a good amount of bucket list items this year. I have not counted them yet but I will in another blog post. Some of this year’s highlights included going to Las Vegas, getting a new tattoo, going on three different road trips, (including two during the summer) , visiting Idaho twice, going to a few different zoos, going to two Mets game, my summer mall weekend, spending time with some of my favorite people ,going to Salvation Mountain, doing lots of shopping, and creating art. I also turned 35 this year and that is hard for me to believe. I don’t feel like I am 35 but truth is truth. Anyways, overall this year was a good one that was full of many blessings. I got back into teaching Sunday school and I attended two wreath making events at my church. I’m looking forward to all the blessings that 2026 has in store. I hope all of you had a blessed year.
Hello, my bucket list friends! I’ve written a lot of blog posts about perfect summer days and the one that I’m about to tell you about would easily make my top ten list of perfect summer days. with all that being said Let’s get to this fun blog post.
July 20th 2025- On this day I met my friend at Five Below. I was excited to shop at Five Below because I don’t get to go there often. Five Below is full of fun and exciting items and on this day I was able to buy some of the fun and exciting items that were available. Some items that I bought were stackable butterfly shaped highlighters, Barbie stickers, Lisa Frank stickers, a Squishmallow, a bucket of squishy toys, a sand art kit , a painting art kit, sidewalk chalk, a Barbie pen, a bath sponge shaped like a duck, and a Barbie themed cup with items inside. After our super fun shopping trip to Five Below we went to Taco Bell. Taco Bell is my favorite fast food place. After shopping and lunch we went to the park to do some chalk art. I had some much fun creating fun chalk art drawings. I love the Ice cream cone that I drew. I also wrote Let’s go Mets. Chalk art is truly a prefect summer activity. My friend and I both had a lot of fun doing this. I also really like the turtle that I drew. That night we ordered pizza it was truly a wonderfully summer day. I can’t wait until summer is here again!
Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m excited to say that it is time to blog about an amazing road trip that I went on in July. For this road trip my mom and I explored some beautiful places in Northern California. I’m very excited to tell you about this grad summer adventure.
July 2025 road trip part one
July 13th – This is the day that our road trip began. We made two stops on the way. During one of our stops I saw a bird in it’s nest I was happy that I got a picture of it. During the other stop I got to see some cool caves. When we arrived to our hotel that night I loved the dolphin statue that was out front. It was a long day or driving but I was very excited to get this vacation started!
July 14th – On this day we got to go on the skunk train! It was so much fun. Before getting on the train I bought some fun souvenirs. I love the skunk logo. The train was was enjoyable and it made a stop before going back to the station. During the stop my mom and I went on a short hike. The hike was an adventure but it was also relaxing at the same time. After our beautiful hike we got back on the train. On the way back I bought a bucket of popcorn on the train. The bucket has a very cute picture of a skunk on it. I have the bucket in my room and I love looking at the cute skunk. Riding the skunk train was a wonderful adventure but it was not the only adventure I went on that day. The 2nd adventure of the day was going to the point Cabrillo lighthouse. I can easily describe this lighthouse as being one of the cutest that I have ever seen. The this lighthouse looks like a small cute house that has a tower attached. The tower almost looks out of place but that adds to the charm of this place. I had a fun time exploring the inside and the outside of this lighthouse. I recommend going to visit this lighthouse if you get the chance to and I also highly recommend going on the skunk train. Even after the lighthouse we had some more adventures to go on. We went to visit the well-known glass beach. This was definitely a very interesting beach and it is worth visiting but please remember not to take the glass. We went on a really nice walk that evening. I loved getting to walk on a wooden path . I got some great pictures on this walk. Also I got to go to the Dollar Tree on this day I got some fun items including a bath bomb and a craft kit! It was a wonderful vacation day!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! Summer is almost here! I’m very excited to start my summer bucket list game on June 1st. This weekend was Memorial Day weekend. It is an important time to remember and honor those who died to protect the people of America. I took this weekend off from work due to the stress of working on holiday weekends. I had an overall relaxing time off, including spending a day with my friend. I can’t wait to tell you more about it, so let’s get to it!
Friday 5/23/2025 – On this day, I went to work before my three days off began. It was an employee shopping day where we get a larger discount than we normally do. I got a few things, but my favorites are a summer coloring book and a package of glow sticks.
Saturday 5/24/2025 – I spent this day with my friend. We had a great time catching up with each other. We went to the Dollar Tree and Target along with a bunch of other places. We even went on two walks! At the Dollar Tree, I got some summer decorations, bath bombs with prizes, beads , a Barbie dot to dot book, a surprise toy, summer cups, and more. At Target I got two summer themed duck toys and a craft kit. I also ate way more junk food than I should have. It was a great day.
Sunday 5/25/ 2025 – On this day, I went to church, and there was a wonderful BBQ afterward. I had a great time being social and eating some good food. I also enjoyed some time outside in the sunshine. It was a good day.
Monday 5/26/2025 – Today was Memorial Day. Words can not express how thankful I am to live in America and how thankful I am to those who fought for our freedom.
I stayed home most of the day. However, I did go out to get coffee, but the traffic was so bad due to people coming back from the beach! It makes me so mad when people insist on creating horrible traffic on the weekends and holidays during the summertime. I got my coffee, but I had to sit in unnecessary traffic.
So that was my Memorial Day weekend. I hope all of you had a blessed weekend.

Thank you for reading about some of the adventures I had in April 2025 !
Hello, my bucket list, friends! April is going by so fast, and due to that, I decided to do one big blog post to get caught up on this month’s adventures! I’ve already had two friend hangouts this month, and that is rare for me, but I welcome it very much! I also went to Savers, got some stickers and other items from Micheals delivered, got two 1990s Barbie dolls, and did some at work shopping. However, that’s not all I have to write about, so with all that being said, let’s dive into my April 2025 adventures so far.
April 3rd – On this day, I went to Safeway on my lunch break, and I got some of those surprise capsules that have foam animals inside. At work, I got a Hello Kitty chalk set that comes with a stencil. It was a pretty normal day, but it was a good day to get some fun items.
April 4th – This was another day of at work shopping. I got two fun Squishmallow building sets, a fluffy bunny notebook, a bag of bouncy balls, a bunny garland ,a hairbrush ,mints, and roller chalk. It was a good day to get a few more fun items from work.
April 5th – On this day I got a delivery from Instacart. I ordered some fun items from Michaels, including two sticker books and a little art set. I also got some sport stickers and a Squishmallow slime set. I like like being able to get items delivered while I am at work. Getting some fun items delivered made my work day a little more fun!
April 8th – On this day I did two of my favorite things. I saw a friend and I went thrift shopping. This friend hangout was not planned but my friend happened to be in the same area as my work. I worked a different shift than I normally do so my lunch was earlier than normal. My friend and I went to Subway on my lunch break . It was wonderful to get to spend sometime with one of my very favorite people. Having a good conversation with my friend was something that I really needed. It is so easy for life to get busy and that can make it is hard to slow down and enjoy the best things in life like having a conversation with a friend. Having lunch with my friend on this day was truly a blessing. After work I took an Uber to Savers. I had not been to Savers in a while so I was happy to get the chance to go again. However ,it was a little overwhelming when I got there because it was so busy. It was a weekday but I live in a very crowded area so even the weekdays can be very busy. However, I was still able to get some great items even with all the crowds. My favorite item that I got was a vintage Barbie book. I also got a Barbie doll , a Squishmallow that still had a tag, a Squishmallow clip, a bag that had some stickers in it, two art kits, a large sticker book , and a shirt. It was an overall good trip to Savers but I hope I can go to a less crowded place the next time I got thrift shopping.
April 9th – I had this day off. I met another one of my favorite people for lunch. It had been a while since I had seen this friend so I was very excited to get to catch-up with her and to have some good food together. While we were walking around after lunch, I saw a doll store. I just had to go inside. I got two 90s Barbie dolls that were still in the box. I also got some doll clothes and some American Girl stickers! It was a really great day off. I wish I could hang out with my friends every week.
April 10th – On this day I got a Crayola Colourwhirl . I had seen this online and I really wanted one. I was not planning on getting one on this day. However the hardware store that I was in just happened to have them. I got the green one because green is my favorite color. I’m happy that I got one!
