Through Papa’s Eyes
Happiness is…listening to my Papa! I haven’t written a blog post about anyone in a while so I thought why not dedicate this one to my Papa?! He is one of the happiest most peaceful people I know and I love spending time with him and my Nana. My papa enjoys telling me stories and…
AP TESTS!!!!
Happiness is…finishing your AP tests!!!!! Taking AP courses is one of the most stressful things in life, if you ask me! AP classes, for anyone who has never heard of them… are college courses taken at your high school. There is a huge “pass or no pass” test at the end of the school year…
beach days are good days
Happiness is…a day at the beach! I am a lucky gal to live in Santa Barbara! We Santa Barbarians are blessed with the mountains for breath-taking hiking trails, and the Rose Garden for admiration of the beauty around us to just stop and smell the roses, but I think we are most fortunate to be…

the thrill of family road trips
Happiness is… a quiet road trip Psych! When you have two little siblings and a mini van, there is never a dull moment. Don’t get me wrong, road trips are certainly exciting, but they are definitely NOT quiet! When it gets noisy during the car rides, I enjoy putting in my ear buds and tuning…
