Things I love July 2024

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Well, it looks like I’m still a month behind on my blog posts, but I’m still going to do my best to get caught up. July was a pretty good month for me except for the fact that I got bronchitis. I started the month while I was on vacation, but all my other highlights happened locally. There are a lot of things I loved this month, so let’s get to it.

Starting the month in Tennessee , I was on vacation when the month started. The month began at the end of my vacation, but I did start the month off with some fun Tennessee adventures. ( You can read about it HERE )

celebrating the 4th of July – For the 4th of July, my parents and I went to an event that included a concert and fireworks! It was a lot of fun! ( You can read about it HERE )

painting a frog – I got a simple painting art kit from five below, and I had a fun time painting it. ( You can read it HERE )

decorating a bucket hat – I love the way that this project turned out. ( You can read about it HERE )

Thrift shopping – I went shopping at Savers this month, and I got some cool things, including a sand art kit, a Barbie book, and a cassette tape player. ( You can read about it HERE )

seeing my friend – I got to do a quick hang out with my friend this month. ( You can read about it HERE )

Going to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk – I got to visit a local amusement park this month it was fun, but it was very busy. ( You can read about it HERE )

photoshoot at a restaurant – My friend took me to a restaurant that I had never been to before. It was a beautiful place to take photos. ( You can read about it HERE )

Shopping at Five Below – I got to go shopping at this amazing store that I don’t get to go to often I was not feeling well when I was there so I didn’t shop for long but I still got some good items! ( You can read about it HERE )

Shopping at Target – I went on a fun shopping trip to Target! ( You can read about it HERE )

Going to the beach – I went to the beach this month and I built sand castles! ( You can read about it HERE )

My summer mall weekend 2024

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m still pretty far from being caught up with my blogging, but I’m excited to write this post! I’m not sure of the year that this tradition began, but every summer, I do what I call a mall weekend. On Friday I go shopping at the Dollar Tree and on Saturday I go shopping at the mall. I had a great time this year, and I’m excited to tell you more about it, so here we go!

June 21st

This was the day I went to the Dollar Tree. My friend joined me for my mall weekend this year. I went to my favorite local Dollar Tree store. I like this location because it is a good size and it is always clean. I got some fun items, including Ty Plush Key chains, sand toys, stickers, a Barbie workbook, puppy in my pocket toys, home decor, and pens. This location has a good selection of items. I love the cross decoration that I got. Some other items I got on my Dollar tree shopping spree were a box of crayons, a pack of paper fans, a pack of frog party favors, and a note book with a Bible verse on the cover. It was a fun and successful start to mall weekend!

June 22nd

Today was the big day! It was officially my mall day! When I got to the mall I went to Claires. I got some hair bows and other cute items! I went to many different stores during my mall shopping spree, including Old Navy and Hallmark. I also went to the Target that is attached to the mall. I got so many fun items from various stores. Some of the items I got were stickers, including barbie stickers, a Barbie mug, hair bows, a sand art kit, cups shaped like pineapples, and more! I also made a new plush bear at Build a Bear Workshop. I love going to Build a Bear Workshop on my mall weekends! I was so happy that I saw the bright and colorful bear that I wanted to make. I named my bear tropical sunshine. She is an awesome addition to my collection. Another thing I did was to go to the Taco Bell at the food court. As you can tell, I had a really good mall weekend, and I got a lot of items and I also had fun taking pictures in the photobooth!

Thanks for reading !

After Missouri but before my mall weekend

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m still trying to get caught up with my blog posts! I’m feeling much better than I have been because, unfortunately, I got bronchitis, but now I have much more energy to do things like go to work and write blog posts! This blog post is about the time in between coming back from Missouri but before I did mall weekend tradition. I did not do a lot doing this time, but I thought it was still worth sharing. Here we go!

June 16th

Today was Fathers Day. My family went to lunch to celebrate. We went to a restaurant that I had not been to before. It was really good and I had a good time with my family. After lunch I went to work. At work, I got a summer themed coloring book. It was an overall good day.

June 17th – There is not much to say about this day but I went to work and bought a Hot Wheels car.

June 18th – Coffee and work! Oh, and I bought a light up ball at work!

June 19th – My friend and I hung out on this day. We went to my favorite local thrift store. I got some really cool Barbie dolls. I also got the really cute craft kit where you make your own plush smore. After thrift shopping, we went to Starbucks! It was a good summer day.

June 20th – Another work day I bought a plastic lollypop that has squishy toys in it from work!
