A Day in the Life of Carly!

 Hey Guys!

 We went to Enchanted Rock with some of our cross-country team for a trail run. We did a 4.6 mile loop around the rock which ended up being more of a power walk considering the trail was scattered with roots and boulders and we almost got lost. I ended up wearing an ankle brace for this adventure saving myself from rolling my ankle which my mom sadly suffered from.

After, we hiked up to the summit of Enchanted Rock, which was really challenging considering I have never ran and then hiked it. Let's just say my body felt like I had just ran a marathon on the way down. I decided that you can't drive an hour and not do the main attraction. We ended up going inside a cave while we were on the summit, and it was a blast!


A normal person would come home and take a nap, but I decided to make the kitchen a mess by trying my hand at brown butter blondies! They are so delicious! I am still trying to nail the brown butter, I always think it's done when it is still bright yellow. I think I might be color blind. If you have any tips, send them my way!



Thanks for stopping by!

Always Remember: "Sometimes you have to live on the wild side, have faith and trust that everything is going to be okay."

Biggest Weirdo Revealed

Image
Hello, my name is Carly, A.K.A my mom's "Biggest Weirdo." My three younger siblings have nothing on me. My whole life I have been educated at home, although most of the time school counts as dissecting animal hearts or counting how much change we will get at the grocery store.  My favorite things to do are hike with my family (off the beaten path of course), read funny rom coms... shout out to Jenny B. Jones... and bake. I am a real geek when it comes to travel or anything having to do with God's creation. My favorite place is Disney World. Is anyone dreaming of Gaston's Cinnamon Rolls..no just me... okay. Oh and did I mention I LOVE the lake or really any body of water. I have a big passion for serving and really enjoy volunteering at the library and church.  I enjoy a good movie quote and if you come to my house most likely half the conversations will be one. I believe that sometimes you just have to stop and dance. Living like you're in a musical is the onl...
