A Look Back on 2018

As 2018 is coming to an end, I have decided for the new year that one of my goals is to start blogging. I know I have written sporadic blogs in the past, but this time, I will release a new blog post every Tuesday. It will either be a written post like this or a video. 

However, before I can start talking about new things, I guess I should catch you up on what has happened in my life this past year.

2018 was a big year for me.

Some I am going to share some of my favorite highlights of the year.

Confessions of a Fur Baby Mama

I had done a lot of research before about how to raise dogs and what I wanted Lol...

Something about my family is that we love to travel. This winter break we decided to take the trip that we have been wanting and planning to take for 12 years. In my 18 years of life- I have never gone sight seeing in India and so we decided to take the trip. To start our journey off we start in Singapore. A very famous figure in Singapore is a Merlion. A Merlion is a combination of a lion and a fish.

The tail represents the fact that Singapore used to be primarily used for fishing. This Merlion has become a national figure for the country of Singapore, and a very famous tourist sight... which meant that we had to check it out! Another very famous part of Singapore is called Little India. I bet you are wondering why there is Little India in Singapore? That is because when the British were trying t...
