➳At Pinterest's totally relatable quotes!➳ 


^^^ Makes perfect sense to me! 


^^^ I'm I the only one? Please, someone, be weird with me! *inserts crying/laughing emoji*



^^^ My room is in the basement, trust me, I have it down to a science! 



^^^ This is another one that makes me sound like a weirdo... :P



^^^ Yup, totally me!



^^^ I'm not a big cereal person, but when I do eat it, this is reality! 



^^^ ...Or drop your phone on your face, same thing.



^^^ And it doesn't help that it's a song! ;)



➳➳➳Hot Chocolate!!!➳My family➳The soft sound of snow falling in perfect silence➳My animals➳Memories to look back on➳Memories to look forward too➳Sparkling snowflakes➳My space heater➳Loving it when you are sitting down at the dinner table and instantly get a scene for a WIP that you have to write down before you forget #onlywriterswouldunderstand (also, can I use the "#" sign if I am not on instagram?? Because I just did and now I'm thinking that that is only for instagramers. *shrugs* idk how this stuff works!) ➳Anyway, last but not least: best friends, because having friends you trust is priceless y'all➳➳➳



➳➳➳That things take time➳That God is still in control, and always will be➳To be content➳That life is scary➳Fear cannot and will not control me➳To do unto others....➳That music moves us➳That falling off a sled can be painful on the ice!➳Never to give up➳➳➳
Overall, January was a great month! There was some really hard times, but also some really fun times. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me in February! 

➳January's Mini Photo Dump➳


^^^ Maple syrup, anyone? (ok, at this stage its more like maple water, but for all you "health nuts" out there you might be more interested in maple sap/water anyway! Maple water is so good for ya! And, it tastes pretty good too!) 


^^^ Took two days, but I love how it turned out! 


^^^ Need I have a caption for this one??? YUMMMMMM 


^^^ Soap!!! Scented Wild Rose! 


^^^ It's very aesthetic, but what is that?! A dandelion??


^^^ A crumpled piece of paper makes a very scary looking beast! Who knew! 


^^^ Snow!!! And look at the colors in the sky! 


^^^ This is a doctored picture of me holding up frozen ice from the horse water bucket! Cool, huh?


^^^ This is what happens when I am in a makeup store for a VERY long time! I draw on myself with eye liner!!! 


^^^ On a walk and had to snap this quick picture, isn't it pretty?


^^^ Aww!!! 


^^^ I love drawing in the snow! :)


^^^ Snowy horses! 


^^^ Um, if I had a bookstagram, this would be on it! I used my new scarf my mom crocheted me as the backdrop! <3


^^^ And I will leave you with this picture! Isn't Lilly a goofball!

Well, that's it for this wrap-up post! I hope you enjoyed getting a glimpse into my January! 
Also, note that this will be the last wrap-up post until after March due to some fun posts I have planned! *grins*

    1. Aww, that's so nice of you to say! And I don't know where my head was this morning because I forgot to include the pictures! I just added the mini photo dump so... I don't know if that was included when you read it, but it's there now! ;)

  3. Wow! Sounds like a lovely, busy month! I can't even remember the first few weeks...staying up until midnight feels like it was a few months ago, lol!

    And yeah, I think you can use the # sign whenever you want. Sarah and I were using "fake hashtags" in our emails long before we were on social media using them. :)

    1. Yes, my month truly whipped by in a whirlwind. Your so right, It does feel like months ago since we stayed up and cheered the new year with sparkling juice! :)

      Ok, gotcha! Not really sure when to use them. Although at first I didn't know how to do the whole asterisk thing either, but I can see how so much more fun it is to read with them included! *winks* I will have to give the fake hashtags some more tries just for fun! XD

    1. I'm so glad these wrap-up posts are as much fun to read as they are to write! Thanks! Rosie was so glad to get out of the icy weather and into her cozy stall! I took that picture before we moved them in! *high-fives* #lifeonthefarm #fordsforever #countrygirlsrock (uh, ya... still working on these hashtags! lol)
      I have literally done the light switch one! Relatable quotes like that are awesome!
      Your so welcome, Molly! Thanks for reading!!! <3

  6. For me this has been the worst month in a while. Worst depression i've had in months and blaming myself for my own failures.But at the same time, it has been nice to be re united with my classmates as the semester started up.

      *enthusiastically high fives back* Yay! I'm not the only one!

      It was! I really don't care that it is -2 degrees out, I'm still loving my FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE DRINK! (But I just realized that I haven't told you the actual real name they call it at the place we get it at... this is how we order it: a Double Chocolate Blast, no coffee, made with almond milk.) xD

      Thanks! That drawing was another Pinterest inspiration! :)

    2. Hehe! We all can be weird together! *inserts thumbs up emoji* They were SO ME too! I had to laugh while I was reading them, just as soon as I did, the next one I read on Pinterest was describing exactly how I laughed. It said, "When I laugh at jokes on the internet, I don't even laugh. I just blow more air out of my nose than usual." Like, how do they even know!

      Your comment made my day! I'm so happy that this post made you smile!

      THANKS! I love trying drawings like that! <3

      Same! When is it going to be summer again! I made my snowman and went sledding, now can we just please put the winter snow pants away?!

      Hope you are having a great day, Izzy!

  14. Nice pictures!
    And Brooklyne, you should totally start a Bookstagram ;D


    Okay OKAY, I admit it! *sobs* I've tried to balance the light switch in the middle way more than just one time! XD XD LOL.

    My "I fail at life" moment comes when I walk into the wall instead of going through the door way, or when I bend over to get something and end up whamming my head against the wall... or that one time when I was getting out of bed and after looking straight at the ladder in front of me, preceded to ram my head right into it. 0-0 Its just sad. Plain sad.

    And now that I've embarrassed myself... BRING ON THE GIVEAWAYS.
