Such and Such Saturday and Sunday: My new hobby to add to other things that I LOVE

I am so excited to be a part of this journey in this blogging world. It has made me a better speech pathologist in my own classroom (maybe a slightly worse wife due to all the time I put into this) and I feel like I add more to society in some small way. My husband has been supportive this whole way through and even though I get comments like "Are you going to have your nose stuck in that computer all night again?" or "I think you like making materials more than you like making dinner anymore". He has been supportive and likes to see me have a hobby that I enjoy.

I never really had a hobby before blogging/creating materials. I spent so much time growing up playing tennis and traveling with that sport that I didn't have time to do anything else (besides sleep, eat and do school homework).

My husband on the other hand has SO many hobbies they are hard to count. He often would try include me in his hobbies because he thought it was so weird that I didn't have a hobby!

SO now he is happy that I have a hobby and that I have something of my own that I can work on outside of work and something that I find enjoyable! I bought a massage with some of my profits from TPT last quarter and my husband just thought that was hilarious! He tells me "After all the time you spend on that blog, you need to schedule more massages to keep your creative ideas flowing" haha!

Here are a few other things that I like to do:

I LOVE to camp! I am such an outdoor person and I love the "quietness" of it all. No electronics, No lights...just the stars and a battery powered radio =)


I LOVE to cook (especially with vegetables now that I am GF). I love to make up my own recipes and put my own spin on recipes that are already out there in the world!


I LOVE reading on my Kindle: My favorite author is Jodi Piccoult. I also liked the 50 Shades Series- I know a bit controversial to like those books or not, but I read them and liked the story but I was by no means obsessed with the book like so many others.

I LOVE to sleep! I like to take naps, go to bed early at night and stay in bed as long as I can on weekends. However, I do not sleep in as much anymore. I COULD if I let myself, but I try to make my weekends as productive as my weekdays. That is not always possible, but I try to take advantage of any day I am alive and accomplish something!

    I also loved the 50 Shades books! They lead me to the Bared to You series, which is also very good :) I am anxiously waiting for the 3rd book to be released!

    I love to scrapbook! It keeps the memories alive and gets my creative "artsy" juices flowing.

      My sister in law's are really good at scrap booking. That is something I have never had an interest in, but I wish I did! haha

    I love, love, love to travel especially to more developing countries. I just returned from a trip to Guatemala with close friends and spent the better part of it camping. I didn't grow up camping but I have come to really enjoy it. Imagine waking up to the sound of howler monkeys (one friend thought it was a jaguar!) :)

      I lived in Venezuela for 4 years and I was able to learn so much from different culture! We used to camp out on the beach and beleive it or not the goats would walk down the beach at night and make SO MUCH NOISE!

    Cooking gluten free is so much fun. It took me a while to find products i liked enough to keep making. I love, love, love making my own bread and cook dinner for my family most nights. I always look forward to the Celiac Disease Foundation's annual conference every year to see the new products.

    I love to cook, camp, hike, take photos anywhere and be with my dogs. I prefer a book in my hands though.

      I also love to take pictures. We invested in an expensive canon last year and it is fun! However, there are more gadgets than I know what to do with, but learning is fun!

      You need to try "Mark of the Lion" Series! They are christian books that are set back in the gladiator days. They are a great trilogy love story! It took my a bit to get into the first book, but once I did I COULD NOT put the book down!
