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!

I like this post by Tim Challies called, “10 Tips to Read More and Read Better“. He has some good suggestions when it comes to reading and how to make reading more profitable when you do. Lately I haven’t been as consistant with reading as I usually am, but with the school year over I now have more [...]

The reality show, Extreme Couponing premiered on TLC in December and I got to watch it for the first time last week. I was surprised at how much these people were able to save by knocking down their starting purchase prices from the hundreds, down to mere pocket change!! All from using coupons. But these people aren’t just ordinary coupon [...]

Happy New Year everyone!! Each new year is generally the time to re-evaluate, reflect and set forth new changes and goals. Like most, I have various goals in mind for the new year as well as some specific goals that I need to re-enforce yet again. As always, I pray that God will continue to work in and through me and that He be glorified in everything [...]

Magazine reading… I have lots to do! Thanks to my Grandma who passed them on to me. My “magazine cut-outs” binder is getting pretty full!

I thought I’d share with you one of my exciting deals. It’s an armoire I bought at a barn sale from this past summer, and was priced at only $15! It is currently residing in our garage, since I have no place to put it in my room nor anywhere else in our house. It has been nick-named [...]

It snowed!! I woke up yesterday morning to the sounds of wind and snow blowing against my basement window, and looked out to find everything white, white, white! This weather always puts me in the baking mood, so I made a couple apple pies and my mom’s Whole Wheat Pumpin Chocolate Chip Muffins. I couldn’t resist a small [...]

I love checking the mailbox. There’s almost always a couple small packages waiting for me. Over the last few months I’ve gotten free samples from a variety of manufacturer companies. 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 [...]

It’s been quiet around my blog here as you’ve probably noticed. The start-up of school and new schedules has kept me busy, but then came the cold and flu season. Yuck. Kelly and I have within the last month come down with two different flu viruses, two bad colds and also pink eye (we’ve never had pink eye [...]

Here it is… the official day of autumn! The weather is chilly over here, and it’s been raining for the past couple days (but I love rainy days). So, school officially started up for us September 7th. It’s just so nice to be back into the routine of the school year. I knew that little ounce of ”early [...]

Where I’m at, we’re finally getting a break from the hot and humid weather these last few weeks have given us. This week has stayed breezy and cool, and it’s making me think of fall… I can’t wait for it. When I think of fall I think of… Photos I can take of the autumn leaves Hot chocolate in my [...]

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 [...]

A few things I’ve been up to: For starters, I’ve been doing lot’s of bread making. Challah bread is now my favorite! I’ve been trying many recipes from my book, Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day – the Challah recipe was one of them. I found it makes fabulous Cinnamon French Toast! My library has become my best friend this summer. [...]

This wonderful weather has been calling me lately to grab a good book and lay out and soak in some sun! (Great way to get vitamin D by the way.) So naturally, I’ve been more regular in checking out books from our library in order to keep my stash more interesting. My favorite check-outs have been Martha Stewart [...]

If you’ve already read my About Me page, then you should know by now that I am an organizing fanatic. I love when things are organized. In fact, my mind gets “cluttered” when things are not. If you didn’t know, I’m a visual person. I would like to have everything in clear view for me to see, [...]

Yesterday marked the beginning of a new year for me, as I am now 16! I thank the Lord for every year He has given me, and I am constantly reminded of His grace in every aspect. I know He has a purpose for my life and will use it for His glory!

I’m sorry I haven’t posted the things I’ve said I was going to post! It’s been a busy week with school, and as of yesterday I am dealing with a tragedy… The hard drive to my Acer laptop computer…. CRASHED. I didn’t have any of my files backed up. A lot of things were lost. I [...]

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! [...]
