Childhood Dreams
Bloganuary Writing Prompt:What was your dream job as a child? This is one of those questions that I could answer right away… and technically I did type the answer out already but I want to build up to the answer. 😉 My entire “career” in school (from Kindergarten to 12th grade) I used the same…

Bloganuary Writing Prompt:What’s your favorite meal to cook and/or eat? Funny thing about my family line. We love food. All kinds. The worse for you, the more we love it.

The Happiest Day
Bloganuary Writing Prompt:Describe the happiest day of your life. All day I’ve been thinking about this and I’ve come up with very little.
