I’ve already started on my Goodreads Challenge for this year by picking up two books, From Here to Eternity and Zom-B Clans. One is an audio book (and a super short one at that) for when I’m at my desk. The other is an Ebook for when I can’t sleep. I’ve only listed 20 books as my goal. But if I’m able to fit more in, you bet I will. That leaves the rest of the month to do other…
This time last year, I said we wouldn’t do it. It was challenging to get up so early in the morning to deal with a smelly, poopy and sick puppy. The stress of a baby Booker and the sadness of being in a new home for the holidays had piled up. I regretted having a puppy in the house. This time… Completely different story. Allow me to introduce you to little Haru. She’s the most wrigglest puppy I’ve ever met.…
The holidays are always a busy time for everyone. So it should be no surprise that this December will be as busy as the last one! Make lots of cakes and cookies Especially my mom’s delectable Rum Raisin cake. She makes it from memory (and eyeballing all her ingredients) so her measurements didn’t work well when I made it myself. This year, I’ll be on the lookout for a recipe that fits all her instructions and tastes like home. Decorate…
Guys, I am so excited to announce that A Daily Lee has been updated and has its own web domain! It’s been a long journey from where I started. This was not my first blog but it’s not going to be my last! I first began taking photos with my iPhone in 2014 and used heavy Instagram filters to edit my photos. Now I use my trusty Rebel T1i (super old, I know) and take my time editing my pictures.…
The holidays are a special time to spend with family and friends but what if you couldn’t do either? More often than not, I hear that the fall/winter months are a time of pessimistic thinking and that the holidays are a huge factor in helping combat it. That is, if you live close and have a good relationship with these people. And what happens to those who do not have that? What if someone has lost a friend or family member? What…
People love to talk about creativity like it’s a group project. The unfortunate truth is that being creativity is a personal journey that’s intimate in many ways. No two people go through the same creative process. Now it’s possible to arrive at the same conclusion but the journey is always different. So how can you kick start your creative juices? Let’s take a look into what you can do! Bored out of my mind It’s underwhelming for me to say…
This post is a day late because we wanted to celebrate Booker’s first birthday! She was born September 15, 2016. We brought her home in mid November and we haven’t looked back since. Shiba Inu are known as independent and feisty dogs and Booker has been that the entire time. But she’s also well loved and the perfect fit for our family. And now she’s finally 1 year old! I made her a cake with this recipe and it came…
Today is my 1 year anniversary since coming to live in The Netherlands! A year in The Netherlands has taught me so much about myself and my world around me. It’s been an emotional ride but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. What have I accomplished? I became a Dutch resident! While I have not learned the language yet, my permanent addresses is North Holland based! This happened back in November of last year but even now it’s something…
I was catching up with a friend over the weekend when nostalgia hit me. 2016 was a different time for me. It was a time of radical changes and hopes for a happier future. This brought on a bought of homesickness. When I think of January 2016, I remember the events leading up to that month and how I dealt with the new sensations. Sander came to visit me in California for two weeks so that we could see if…
