I was not prepared for the stress that tomorrow would bring.

3/28 – I felt really bad on this day I was dizzy and out of it . I just wanted to lay on the couch all day. However, it was official that my phone was unusable and needed to be replaced. Getting a new phone is always a big ordeal but having to replace a broken one is even more stressful. Once I got my new phone up and running I had to log back into everything and that was challenging. I was still not feeling well I was stressed out and I needed a little bit of a distraction. So I went to Michaels because it was walking distance from the phone store. I got a summer craft kit , two rubber ducks, some Crayola scribble scrubbies, sticker books and more! Oh I also got a border that was made of bow shapes . It was a good little bright spot in a stressful day. I went and got some food after shopping because I was still not feeling good. I took an Uber home and of course there was traffic on the way back home. Later that day I felt well enough to do the painting craft kit that I got at TJ Maxx. Everything worked out but it was a very stressful day.

3/31 – This was the last day of the month! I got a yummy drink at work. This month was a roller coaster ride and I’m thankful for the good days that it brought.

Thanks for reading!

Love, Christina Epperly

The rest of my August 2025 adventures including my 35th birthday

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m so excited to finally wrap up my main posts about August 2025. Of course I will do a things I love post after this . One of my goals is to finish writing about last summer before we get to summer 2026 and it looks like that’s going to happen! Probably the biggest highlight of this post is my 35th birthday. I’ll write more about it below but I was so scared to turn 35 and now I’m scared to turn 36. The truth is, as you get older time does not slow down. As a matter of fact it feels like it speeds up. Sometimes I look back and I wonder where the time went. I was 24 years old when I started this blog. And that seems like such a long time ago now. I’ve gone on so many bucket list adventures since then. I would probably have a hard time believing myself if I traveled back in time and told my 24-year-old self that some of her big bucket list dreams like meeting Alice Cooper , going to the mall of America, and going to Disney World would all come true but that the big life events that seem to just happen to most people would not happen so easily for her.  I know this introduction has been much longer than normal, but sometimes I just have a lot of thoughts swirling around in my and it helps to write them down. Also, sometimes I feel like my blog is not as personal as it used to be so it’s good for me to be open and honest. Even if it makes for a very long introduction. With all that being said, I think it’s finally time to write about the last of the adventures I had in August of 2025.

August 17th – On this day I went to Safeway and I got something really cool. That really cool thing was a sticker book. Stickers have this way of bringing me joy. I love the pictures I took on this day of me holding the sticker book outside in the sunshine.

August 18 – on this day I took some very cute pictures of my cat Cooper. The look on his face is pretty priceless. His beautiful blue eyes just look gorgeous.  I also went to work at Walgreens where I worked at the time. While I was there I bought some fun wind-up toys. It was a simple but good summer day. Oh yeah and I also got coffee on this day.

August 19th – this was another day of working at Walgreens. But I did get a planner and a calendar that came with stickers on clearance. I love finding items on clearance!

August 20 – I did one of my favorite things on this day. I went shopping at Target. On this Target trip I got some fun items including a Barbie Play-Doh accessory set, A Bookmark art kit, a pack of markers, and a Crayola activity set that included stickers. I also got coffee and went to work on this day.

August 22nd – This was a work day however while I was at work bought some stickers. ( yay for stickers!) I also bought a bubble set. ( yay for bubbles! )

August 23rd – I went to Barnes and Noble on this day! I got two American Girl books, a Barbie book, stickers , erasers shaped liked ice pops, and a coloring book that came with markers. I was supposed to have the day off but I got called into work. At work I got this cute toy. It was a pretty good summer day.

August 25th – This was my last day to be 34. I was nervous to turn 35. I’m beyond thankful for every year that I’m blessed with but sometimes I feel like I have not accomplished enough and that makes me very uncomfortable. However, on this day I had some little bits of joy that made the day a little bit better. I went to Starbucks I got a coffee and a cake pop. I got the birthday cake pop since it was the day before my birthday. At work I got a set of soda flavored lip gloss. I also got a very cute squishmallow!

August 26 – This was the day that I tuned 35 ! At midnight a took a shot of whiskey. Having a drink at midnight is kind of a tradition of mine. I may not have felt ready to turn 35 but the day was here so decided to enjoy it and be thankful for the day. I celebrated the day by doing a few of my favorite things. I started my activities with a trip to a ceramics painting studio. I had a fun time painting a flamingo. I also went to TJ Maxx and Target. At TJ Maxx I got a lot of cute hair bows, a Squishmallow notebook, bear shaped crayons , a axolotl activity set and more. At Target I got the Squishmallow pillow that I had been wanting. I also got a Squishmallow bead kit, a set of rings, hair bows , stickers, and more! I went to Safeway and I chose a carrot cake as my birthday cake. That evening I went to eat at one of my favorite local places. I love the pizza there. I also love the arcade that they have. I got some cute prizes at the vending machines in the arcade. I also got a birthday win from the Mets! It was an amazing birthday.

August 27th – On this day I went to dinner with a friend. We went to a fancy place and I had a fun time taking pictures there. It felt like the restaurant was made to take photos in. The food was also good too.

August 29th – This day was employee shopping day at work. That means that employees get to shop with a larger discount than usual. I got stickers, ( including a set of mini sticker books. ) A fidget toy, and a Squishmallow building block set. I also got some snacks. It was a good employee shopping day.

August 30th – I took this day off of work because Labor Day weekend is one of the worst weekends for traffic and crowds. I knew work would be too stressful for me to handle so I requested the weekend off in advance. I did a cute foam dog craft project at home. I did go into town because I needed to pick up the art pieces that my mom and I had painted on my birthday. I made a stop at a nearby toy store and I got some color changing lizard toys and another squishy toy. Of course I got coffee as well. While I was in town I went to Safeway and I got ice cream before going back home. I was sad that summer was ending but at least I got to do some fun things on this day.

August 31 – This day was sad for me because it was the last day of August. This was the last day for me to cross things off my summer bucket list. The traffic was also very bad on this day. Beach traffic is one of my least favorite things in the world. I’m convinced that going to the beach is one of the most overrated things in the world. Anyways, I did make a quick stop to the Dollar Tree on this day. My favorite thing that I got was a package of shoe charms. I also got some beads, gel pens, crayons, a coloring book and more. I also went to starbucks and Trader Joe’s while I was out . I got stickers at Trader Joe’s. I love getting free stickers there. The big thing I did on this day was that I finished my summer 2025 drawing. I love my tradition of drawing a summer picture.

Thank you for reading about some of my August adventures!

Love, Christina Epperly

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.

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! It is now February and that blows my mind. Every year seems to go by just a little bit faster or it could be that my life is very busy and when you are busy time seems to go by faster. Anyways I thought I would write a post about the first seven days of the year. I hope this year is treating all of you well! with all that being said let’s get to it.

January 1st 2026 – This was the first day of a brand new year and I started it off in the best way possible. I spent time with my friend Amy. We met at Target. I got some really great items at Target including some Squishmallow Valentines Day cards that come with stickers. Other fun items I got were a craft kit, two bead kits, stickers, heart shaped pasta and Joy Ride candy. I also got some Target stickers. I had a great time walking around Target with my friend. After Target we went to the Dollar Tree. I got some Barbie Valentine’s Day cards, stickers, surprise toys and more! It was a prefect start to the year. That night I also made some Christmas shaped pasta.

January 2nd 2026 – On this day I went to work. I love being able to work at Starbucks because I get to smell coffee all day and I even get to drink some too.

January 3rd 2026 – On this day I had work very early. On my lunch break I went back to my old work also known as Walgreens. I had a great time buying some valentines items including a container of squishy bears and a container of pop toys. I also got some rubber ducks, a pen with a fuzzy heart on top and squishmallow clip. Oh I also got my favorite body wash. After work I went to my favorite used book store. Where I got some American Girl books, some mystery books, and a My little pony book.

January 4th – This was a another work day so it was another day that I got to drink coffee. I also made nachos.

January 5th – On this day I went to Target . I got a bunch of Valentines day items including two craft kits, stickers, and a surprise squishmallow. I love going to Target so much but I also know that if you want to buy seasonal items you need to buy them early. I’m glad I was able to buy some more Valentine’s day items on this day!

January 6th – On this day I had an early shift where I was up before the sun. I went to Safeway before work. I got food but I also got Valentine’s day cards that came with erasers. After work I went to CVS I some some fun things including an art kit.

January 7th – On this day I went to Safeway I got some Kinder Joy eggs that have some super cute prizes inside. I also had a great drink of course.

So yeah that was my first seven days of the year! Have the best year everyone !!

Summer mall weekend 2025

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m excited to write this post about one of my favorite summer traditions. I’m not sure how long that I have been doing this tradition for but for a while now I have been choosing a weekend in the summer and going shopping at the Dollar Tree on a Friday and going to the mall on Saturday. I had a great time shopping at the Dollar Tree and the mall this summer, and I can’t wait to tell you more about it, so let’s get to it.

June 20th – On this day, I went shopping at my favorite local Dollar Tree location. I love going to this location because it is always clean and organized. There is also a good selection of items at this location. I got a bunch of great items during my Dollar Tree shopping spree. Some of my favorite items that I got on this shopping trip are two bags of air dry clay, Barbie pets, Surprise toys, a sticker activity book, glitter markers, a headband with a lemon pattern, erasers shaped like ice cream, an ice pop banner, foam stickers, puffy stickers, bath bombs with prizes, and a Crayola tooth brush. Summer is my favorite time of year, and I was happy to get a sign that says happy summer and some drink pouches that said endless summer on them. The pouches also came with straws. Some other fun items that I got during this shopping trip were hair ties, Squishmallow toothpaste, a book that teaches you to draw animals, and a doodle notebook. It was a fun shopping trip to the Dollar Tree.

June 21st – This was the day I went shopping at the mall. I went to my favorite local mall. One of my favorite stores in the mall is Claire’s. I got some many fun things there, including jewelry, hairbows, and stickers. I went to many stores during this shopping trip, including Daiso, Hallmark, bath and body works, Old Navy, Nordstrom rack, and Target. I don’t  go to Nordstrom Rack often, but I am so glad I did. I got some great items there, including a Squishmallow hand cream. I bought so many items on this shopping trip some of those items are, flip flops, stickers, a squishy toy, beads, lollypops with covers, highlighters, lip gloss in containers shaped like bears, a scratch art craft kit, erasers, a holder for hand cleaners, small hand cleaners for my holder ,a notebook shaped like a dog ,straw covers, and a Barbie themed hair set. One big highlight of my mall trip was going to build a bear workshop and making a plush axolotl. I named my plush axolotl Neon Sands because I wanted a Las Vegas inspired name. Also, at Build a Bear, I got this cute passport that can be stamped at different locations. I love my plush axolotl and I love that my favorite mall has a Build a Bear Workshop it in. In addition to all my shopping fun, I also enjoyed taking pictures during my mall trip. I took a lot of pictures during my mall adventure, including in a photobooth. I also got lunch at the food court while I was at the mall. Before going home I got an iced coffee at the Starbucks in Target. It was a wonderful summer day at the mall.
