L’Etudiant Etranger Episode Three

Diamond

Hello friends! I hope you guys are ready for another episode of L’Etudiant Etranger! In this episode, Gisselle will meet the whole Stone crew! Episode One Episode Two “We’re gonna be late!” Rudy whined.  He was eager to get to his cousins’  house, and while I was also looking forward to it, I knew the importance of first impressions. That’s why I had spent an hour fixing myself up, while Rudy had simply showered and thrown on a t-shirt. But see, Rudy already knew these people. They knew him, so it didn’t matter what he wore today. But for me, … Continue reading L’Etudiant Etranger Episode Three

Skipping Stones Episode 1 “Fame, Fortune, and Love?”

Diamond

Hello friends! I am beyond excited to share today’s post with you! Lots of blood, sweat, and tears went into this post. I really wanted to get this post up in August, but it’s okay. I think it turned out amazing anyway. Remember how I mentioned a BAB sitcom back in May? It’s finally here! This pilot episode is a celebration of BABF reaching 300 followers. And…since we’re at about 350, let’s just call it an early celebration of 400. (if we ever get there) Anyway, I think this episode is something I can be proud of. My early readers … Continue reading Skipping Stones Episode 1 “Fame, Fortune, and Love?”

Overcoming Fears ~ Life at Camp

Diamond

Hello friends! Today the campers at Camp Happy Heart got to go down a zipline. But…not everyone was thrilled with that idea. Join Sparkles as she confronts her anxiety about ziplining. Will she go down? Will she not? Find out here! *ahem*, so that intro was fun. This photostory deals a bit with anxiety, which is a mental illness that many suffer with. Lately, I’ve felt the urge to talk about mental health through my blog. I realize that this is a sensitive topic, but my hope is that I can do it in an approachable way. I don’t think … Continue reading Overcoming Fears ~ Life at Camp

Band Photoshoot (the third)

Diamond

Hello friends! This is always one of my favorite posts to make, and I’m really excited to share these photos with you! I really do feel like these posts get better each year. Here are our performers together! We’re running out of room to fit everyone lol. Cam’s on one of the guitars. He doesn’t really know how to play, but he has fun strumming the two chords Petal taught him. Likewise, Swirl only knows what her sister taught her. Petal on the other hand is a guitar queen! She picked it up a couple years ago at camp and … Continue reading Band Photoshoot (the third)

The Great Stuffie Bakeoff

Diamond

Hello friends! Today I have a VERY fun post for you all…a bakeoff! With this post, I wanted to go back to my roots and begin with the photos. That’s how I used to to photostories, but now I’ve shifted to mainly writing first. Also, I didn’t edit these photos! Because…they look fairly good and I did NOT feel like editing 70+ photos for today. Enjoy! “Welcome to the Great Stuffie Bakeoff! I’ll be your host, Berry Blueberry!” “Meet our judges, Summer, Treasure, and Starburst! Anything you three have to say?” “I’m really excited to try all the food!” Summer … Continue reading The Great Stuffie Bakeoff
