Hey there! I’m Kira and I’m so glad you could stop by! I am a 17 year old Christian, homeschooled senior in highschool, and welcome to my blog. Here is where I write about my various passions and interests as well as my love for the Gospel and Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My hope is that you will see Christ in me, and that God be glorified through this little ole blog of mine. May you be encouraged in your visit here, and hopefully you will stop back again soon!

So why not throw together all those randomnesses of mine that I’ve enjoyed lately, all in one post? The weather - I’ve already [...]

Hair and skin care products haven’t been the only ones either. Food like Kashi and Special K bars, EmergenC drink packets, instant coffee, drink sweeteners etc. are others I’ve been [...]

Letter writing has become something of the past. Why bother sending a hand written letter when you could use E-mail instead? Hey, or better yet you can text! With our exceedingly rapid technological growing society and the demands of everyday life, it just doesn’t seem to leave room for writing letters anymore. I’m still partial to handwritten letters. It holds [...]

I’m in love. With my Diet Dr. Pepper. This pop has now become an all-time favorite beverage for me. Nothing can beat this… at least not presently. ;) Of course, I know diet pop isn’t good for you (nor are any!), but since I don’t have it all that often, my Diet Dr. Pepper is a must for me when I do!

Last evening, Ryan entered his Cub Scout camping theme cake (they got to choose a theme) for the 100 year Scouting birthday competition. He and my dad made it themselves the day before, and I think it turned out great! They used two chocolate Poptarts and stick pretzels for the tent, two long pretzels and ice cream cones covered [...]

I’ve been searching the web for some cute hair styles I could try on myself, and after some browsing, I ended up finding a neat video (which you can watch HERE) on how to do the “messy” hair knot which, if I do say so myself, looks pretty cute! I didn’t get a picture of it on myself quite [...]
