It was 2 weeks ago, Christmas Day. My family was roughly 2.5 hours into our weekend-before-finals getaway. We were listening to A Veggie Tales Christmas Party for probably the 97th time in our lives.

It’s been a tradition, time out of mind, to listen to this every Christmas Season (often several times a season). This was the first listening of the 2015 season.

We sung along with Larry and Manuel on Feliz Navidad (“Which means ‘Merry Christmas’, in Spanish. It also has some other words which mean, ‘I wish you a prosperous year and happiness’. Right Manuel?”).

SRC: Mexican Street Food

November 16, 2015November 13, 2015 annablizabeth2 Comments

Guys, I love Mexican food. Well, at least all the Mexican food I’ve ever had, which has almost always been made by Americans. Most of whom don’t have a drop of Hispanic blood in them. And very few, have ever set foot in Central America. The one of the few exceptions is many years ago, I ate… Continue reading SRC: Mexican Street Food

Autumn in Photos and Songs

November 13, 2015April 25, 2016 annablizabethLeave a comment

One of my resolutions for 2015 was: Start a blog. Only post when I have something to say/show; never apologize for not posting. Between school and teaching piano lessons and wanting to sleep late in the mornings, I haven’t posted in forever and a day. And I’m trying really hard not to feel guilty about that. I… Continue reading Autumn in Photos and Songs

Five Minute Friday: Celebrate

September 18, 2015September 17, 2015 annablizabeth5 Comments

Celebrate It’s just been one of those weeks fortnights, you know. Bad news, scary news, heartbreaking events, discouraging results, no progress, too much to do, tough situations, discouraging conversations, worried/weepy nights, stressful/sweaty days, not enough sleep, sleeping too much, too cold, too hot, not fast enough … Not thankful enough. In the middle of a rough couple of weeks,… Continue reading Five Minute Friday: Celebrate

SRC: Independence Day

July 15, 2015July 13, 2015 annablizabethLeave a comment

Have you noticed that most of my SRC posts start with me talking about something I saw on Pintrest a while back? Well, guess what! This one is no different. A while back (probably more than a year ago), I saw this pin on Pintrest, and thought it looked like a fun treat. So I… Continue reading SRC: Independence Day
