April Recap: 2024

Hiiii! Welcome to my third monthly recap. I love April - the flowers are peeping out, the days are warmer and longer, and everything is coming to life (especially the town I live in!) April has been a busy month for me, so let's jump right in!

I got my lifeguard certification! I've been trying to do this for months, but I had to be 15 and there wasn't a course available yet. My brother (Paolo) also got certified. We got to do the rescues on each other! We all joked around that it was harder to be the "victim" than to be the rescuer. It was especially hard to stay underwater while we did the "submerged" rescue (the victim is at the bottom of the pool.) And, as an addition to that...

I got hired as a lifeguard! I haven't started working yet, but I will soon😊

I went to a bridal shower - it was really nice! I got to help set up, which I love doing. Don't you think April is the perfect time for a bridal shower? My little brother is going to be the ringbearer at the wedding in June 😊

I started babysitting for my neighbor - she is Eliyah's age. She is sooo adorable and I get to watch her twice a week. I like riding my bike over to her house, even though it's 2 minutes away 😜

I volunteered at Elijah's school for Grandparents Day, which was really fun! Sure, I was the only fifteen year old (all the name tags said "parent volunteer" lol) but I had a great time.

How I did on my goals

Read at least two books ❌

Sadly I wasn't able to finish two books. I did read some, though!

Submit application for internship ✅

Yep! I submitted it, but wasn't accepted 😔 They said there were lots of applicants this year, but put me on the waiting list.

Finish a Bible reading plan with A ❌

Unfortunately I wasn't able to complete this one. It was a really busy month.

Make another Mother's Day Gift ✅

We're doing a garden gift basket and it's done! I am also decorating a shadow box, plus we have a couple others.

Get at least 97 on Literary Analysis Essay ✅

Yes! I got a 100! I worked so hard on this and was happy to get the best grade I could get. 

Figure out the problem with importing blog to WordPress ❌

I wasn't able to figure out the problem, but I think I would like a fresh start anyway. Stay tuned, because I'll probably be moving to WordPress soon!

Wash my sheets ❌

*nervous laugh* I totally forgot. Oops. This is so embarrassing. Alright next one haha...

Make all posts from possible posts preview ✅

These were the posts on my "possible posts preview" last month:

• A Homeschool Day in the Life

• From Sister to Sister // vol. 1
• Happy List // vol. 2

Wash my sheets

Like, seriously. This is just getting ridiculous. It's been over half a year since I've washed my sham! Ugghhhh if I don't do this... I... I just can't. 😅

Make Mother's Day Special!

I've been working really hard for planning a great Mother's Day - I hope Mama's day is special!

Update all my journals

I have so many different journals, and I would like to update them all this month! Journals to update:

• My journal (the one I write in most often - I won't really forget this lol)
• Conversation journal (my mom and I write letters to each other)
• Letter journals (I am writing letters to Elijah and Eliyah for them to read when they are older)
• Bullet journal
• Bible/Prayer journal
