Things I love August 2025

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends ! I’m so excited to write this post because I only have one more post to write after this about summer 2025. The next post I write will be about last year’s summer bucket list. I’m already looking forward to this year’s summer bucket list which will begin soon. Anyways with all that being said let’s get to the things I loved in August 2025.

Trip to Oxnard – In early August, I went on a trip to Oxnard. Highlights from this trip include visiting a presidential library , going to the Dallas Cowboys training camp , and shopping at Hobby Lobby. ( You can read about it HERE )

Trip to Idaho – During this month I also went on a trip to Idaho. Some highlights of my trip there include going to Zoo Boise , going thrift shopping, and seeing family. ( You can read about it HERE )

Getting to see Amy – On the first day of the month I wasn’t feeling the best but I got to see my friend and that always makes me feel a little bit better. We went to some fun places including CVS . I love the stuff I got there on that day but more importantly Friendship is one of the most valuable things that you can have in life. I’m very thankful that I have some truly wonderful friendships in my life. This day was a good reminder about the positive impact of friendship. ( You can read more about it HERE )

My Birthday – I got to celebrate my 35th birthday this month. I did some of my favorite things on this day including painting ,shopping , and eating cake. ( You can read about it HERE )

summer picture – I have a tradition of drawing a special picture for summer. I love the picture I drew this year. ( You can read about it HERE )

Summer sticker art – during this month I made a fun sticker picture. ( You can read about it HERE )

Going to one of my favorite local stores – This month I went to a local party store that I have been going to since I was a kid. ( You can read about it HERE )

Thank you so much for reading about the things I loved in August 2025.

life at the end of February 2026

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I know I’ve been going back and forth between writing about this year and last year but I decided to write my two main posts about February back to back. I feel like I’m getting more caught up that way by finishing the main part of my February posts first. However after this post I will write another post about August . Now ,that you know my blogging schedule let’s dive into this blog post about life at the end of February.

2/21- On this day I went to Safeway. I got some Barbie surprise eggs. These eggs have cool Barbie themed items inside. I also got a coloring craft kit there. I also went to Walgreens I got some cute duck toys and a squishy toy craft kit. This was a good February day . It was also a beautiful sunny day.

2/22 – I did two art projects on this day! The first project was a simple coloring craft kit. I had fun coloring a cute wooden caterpillar. I love that there were different patterns to color on the craft and not just circles. I love how colorful this craft looked when I was done. This was a very simple craft but I really enjoyed it. The 2nd craft kit that I did was a foam ice cream craft. My favorite part of this kit was the sparkly sprinkles. I had fun sticking them on the ice cream project. Later that day I went to Safeway again and I got a fun package of Easter stickers. I’m happy that I had time to be creative on this day.

2/24 – On this day I went to work. My highlight of my work day was getting to have a cannonball drink. However, After work I finally did something that I had been wanting to do for a long time. I finally applied to be on reality TV. I have no idea if my application will go anywhere. However, I feel good that I was finally brave enough to record a short video and submit it. Even if I never hear back I’m glad I did this.

2/26 on this day I went to the mall and I got a much needed massage. I also went shopping at Claire’s. My favorite thing that I got at Claire’s was a hat with bows on it. I also got some bracelets and earrings there .While I was at the mall I went to The Hallmark store and I got a bunch of stickers. Hallmark is a great place to find cute stickers. I also went to the Target that was attached to the mall. I got some JoyRide candy , erasers shaped like different kinds of food, and more. I also went to Taco Bell in the food court. I put my order under the name Alice because I’m a huge Alice Cooper fan and sometimes it’s fun to use a different name. This was a really good day.

2/27 – This day I got to do something really awesome. I got to see my amazing friend Amy. We went to a bunch of different places including a book store , a toy store , CVS, and Togos. I bought some fun items on this day including a coloring book that came with crayons and stickers, a sheet of animal stickers, a pack of Easter toys, a set of bracelets and more. However, the best part of the day was getting to spend time with Amy. It is a lot harder to spend time with your friends than it should be. I love it when I get time to see a friend so this day was a great day.

2/28 – This was the last day of the month. I went to Walgreens I got some fun Easter Items including a pack of Easter toys and some puffy Peeps stickers. After that I went to Trader Joes. I got a box of my mango bars but I also go some stickers and a coloring page. I ended this short month on a high note.

Thanks for reading about more of mt February moments.

Love, Christina Epperly.

You can’t go back in time but sometimes you can go back to some nostalgic places. Another thing I got here on this day was a paper flower craft kit. That night I created a paper flower bouquet.

2/20 – today was a good day to be creative . I painted a wooden bee. I like the way this project turned out. My favorite part of this project was painting dots on the wings of the bees. Yay for painting!

My first mall trip of 2025 !

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I recently went to the mall for the first time this year! I love going to the mall, and I did some of my favorite things there, including a massage. I’m excited to tell you about to, so let’s get to it.

February 26th 2025

I had this day off, and I was excited to go to the mall to get a massage, shop at Claires, and get Taco Bell. I went to the massage place first. It was crowded, but it was worth it. After getting some much needed work on my shoulders and back, I went to Claires. They were having a buy three get three sale on everything! I got twelve items. Some of the items I got were hair bows, cute stationery supplies , a set of necklaces, a pen with a squishy duck on it , and a set of cute frog buttons! It was a very successful trip to Claires! Oh, I also got a cute surprise lip gloss at Claires. After my massage and my shopping trip to Claires, I went to the Taco Bell in the food court. I love going to Taco Bell, but the location that was closest to me closed, so since I had an opportunity to go, I went. They had this new birthday cake churro and it was so good ! I knew it would probably be good, but it tasted better than I ever imagined it would! On the way home from the mall, we stopped and got coffee. I really enjoyed my day off!

Thanks for reading

Love, Christina Epperly
