Camping and hiking trip the Appalachian Trail
In April 2019 when we visited my son’s school for a tour we learned that one of the graduation requirements is completing a camping and hiking trip on the Appalachian Trail. I immediately wanted to leave the tour. Five days in the forest camping in tents and hiking 50 miles where bears live no way! Many questions were being asked and little did we know the pandemic would interrupt the trip the following year. In this post I’m going to share what we had to do to prepare for this camping and hiking trip on the Appalachian Trail. The Director was very clear about the boys fulfilling this requirement. No…

Bar Cart Styling
Murray February!! We are half way through the month. I can’t believe spring is around the corner. I’ve been obsessed with home decor lately well really since my early twenties but never made the effort to commit to it. This fall I saw a bar cart on Pinterest and fell in love with it. The bar cart was decorated with pumpkins, pillows, a picture frame and book. In this post I’m going to show you my version of bar cart styling. I’m learning now that bar carts don’t have to be specifically for liquor or drinks necessarily. Nowadays bar carts are used to add an extra spice or decor/warmth to…

Celebrating Birthday in Quarantine
I’m truly blessed Allah has granted me another year on this planet. I’m super grateful my family and friends are safe during these unprecedented times. Celebrating a birthday in quarantine can be hard but I figured I would make the best of it. Everyone kept asking me, “What are you going to do for your birthday? But to be honest I felt a little uneasy going out. Last weekend we went out to a restaurant and I felt a little uncomfortable. Mainly because the DJ wasn’t wearing a mask and I although he wasn’t near me it was strange. I wanted to eat and leave immediately. Usually it’s hard for…

Wear Pink
Happy New Year! I hope you all well. For 2021 I have decided to go on a (semi) no buy challenge. I’ve been feeling a little weird about spending money unnecessarily. It won’t be for the entire year but I plan on buying less as possible. I figured I could re-style the clothes I already own. I would only purchase something if it’s a major deal or I don’t already have a similar item in my closet. For January I chose to wear pink and style everything pink out of my closet. Who said you can’t wear pink in January? I figured I could choose a specific color (theme) for…
