  • It’s Been a Bit

    It's Been a Bit. This picture is from my white coat ceremony!

    Helloooooo! It’s good to be back! I apologize for the long hiatus, but my first semester of dental school had me pretty preoccupied. So yes, it has been a bit! So let’s catch up then shall we?!

    Let’s talk about my first semester of dental school! 19.5 credits flew by and things went well! Could there be improvement? Absolutely. And I plan to do even better this upcoming semester. But, I enjoyed it! I did very well in my wax lab and enjoyed getting to further develop my fine-motor skills. I took quite a few very basic level science classes again which were fine, but I am very excited to move away from talking about the mitochondria (which is the powerhouse of the cell by the way). My anatomy class was by far my favorite class this semester though. I’ve always enjoyed anatomy and it was good to review and dig deeper!

    Outside of school, life has been pretty good. A while ago, I may have discussed that I was dealing with SIBO, and that is now cleared up for good (we hope!!). I am continuing to navigate this gluten-free, dairy-free life, and I’m enjoying that quite a bit actually! I’m feeling good and eating good food for sure. We actually started making gluten-free, dairy-free pizzas at home because I was really missing pizza more recently and I think it was a huge success. If anyone is wanting recipes, let me know!

    While I’m on break from school, I PROMISE to be more active here again. Yes, it has been a bit, but I plan to be gone less in the months to come. I have some pretty fun things planned for the blog this upcoming year and I hope to continue providing you with good things to read if you’re all up for it. Next on my agenda is to relax and rest up, enjoy Christmas, and ring in 2023!

    I’ll see you all next weekend. Much love! ❤️

  • Where I’ve Been

    Hello hello! I’m baaaaack! Sorry for the impromptu hiatus. The past month or so, I just feel like I haven’t had much to post about and I haven’t felt as motivated to create content for you all so I just didn’t post. So here’s a bit on where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to since we all last talked. 🥰

    The past month or so I’ve been doing a lot of prepping for dental school. That includes getting a new MacBook and iPad, filling out a bunch of forms, and just making sure I have all the various, fun things I need!

    I’ve been working out a lot and enjoying all of that too. Recently enough, I attempted a bench press PR of 105 pounds and it wasn’t too bad. I just need to work on my depth at that weight and I’ll more confidently say that I can bench 105. Proud of the progress I’ve made there though!!

    I’m nannying until school starts and that has been a blast. Kids are a lot of fun, in my opinion. 😊 And while I haven’t done much traveling since my Florida trip earlier this year, I am looking forward to a weekend in Colorado Springs coming up! I’ll share more after that fun little getaway.

    So that’s a bit on where I’ve been! Again, sorry for disappearing for a bit, but a break every once in a while is important. As far as what my schedule for posting will be like for the future, let’s get back to the weekly Sunday posts. I think we can start that up again. I hope everyone has a wonderful week and I’ll see you next weekend! ❤️
