Hi world! Chris here. This isn’t a true weekly post, but is just a heads up that I am so deeply embedded in my vacation hibernation that I’m going to be taking some time off from the blog. It won’t be too long (probably just two weeks or so), but I just wanted to let you know. Nothing is wrong, I’m just lazy. That, feeling … Continue reading Hiatus Warning
Hi world! Chris here. This week continues my attempt at making things that are somehow related to the theme of Christmas! Before we dive in, I wanna let you guys know that there will be no post next week because I am going to be out of town for the holiday and the house we’re going to has no internet. Hopefully this post will be … Continue reading Christmas Craft Competition
Hi world! Chris here. This week is a super special Christmas post that I planned out with my best friend! She’s a very talented, artsy person, so I thought it would be fun to get her to help me try and make a bunch of different Christmas crafts for the holiday. For this week’s post, we tackled an all time favorite: Christmas Cookies! As someone … Continue reading Christmas Cooking FAILS
Hi world! Chris here. This week’s post is going to be somewhat small because I’ve been in finals mode for the past few days. All my energy has been devoted to papers about language and linguistics and all that good stuff I’m studying. However, I still think I managed to come up with a pretty fun topic for the holiday season. Even though this is … Continue reading Christmas Around the World
Hi world! Chris here. I made it through my 10 hour Black Friday shift just to be here writing for you all today. There were several times that I wanted to give up, but I knew I had to make it through for my Monday deadline. It was the only thing that kept me going as I fought through snail-paced computers, mountains of fuzzy jackets, … Continue reading The BEST Free Gifts
Hi world! Chris here. This Saturday, I woke up at 6 am to drive 4 hours for the same small cow sale that I stop by every year. “It’s not the sale I go for,” I tell people, “it’s the Christmas shopping with my mom afterwards.” For years now, this has remained mostly true. But for this year, I went with a blog-based motivation as … Continue reading To Be A Good Farmer
Hi world! Chris here. Before I get into the planned post, I have a small announcement to make. Obviously there was no post last week even though I said I was going to have one for Halloween. Things just got busy and I couldn’t actually do the thing I wanted to cover, so I never ended up sitting down to write a post. Because this … Continue reading Ranking Wilmington’s Coffee Shops
Hi world! Chris here. Please excuse any emotional outbursts this post because it’s about something very near and dear to me and my whole family. No matter where we are in our lives or in the world, we’re all Dixie Classic devotees at heart. It’s a fair that’s more like a second home because of the people, the memories, and literally everything else about it. … Continue reading Fall is for the Fair
Hi world! Chris here. And I have a lot to share, so I’m just going to ignore the fact that this is a whole week late and go ahead and get started talking about my time in Texas. Now, if you’ve never been to El Paso, let me tell you a little something about it. It’s really beautiful, but in a different way than anything … Continue reading I Almost Died in El Paso, Texas
Hi world! Chris here. This week’s post is going to be pretty relaxed because I’m trying to get ready for a really big trip coming up tomorrow! I’m flying to El Paso, Texas to visit my brother, Jacob, before he officially flies overseas for deployment. I’ve never been to Texas, so I am super excited about it. This could potentially affect next week’s post because … Continue reading Traveling with Music
