5 Random Facts.

(please pardon my crazed expression here... I'm just so excited!)

Oh my goodness, I have my own blog? It's definitely time to crack open a little sparkling grape juice (preferably white!) and throw some colorful confetti! I cannot wait to start documenting my life through posts of fashion, food, creative writing endeavors, and so much more! It will be so much fun connecting with new people who are like-minded, and now instead of stalking the blogs, I'll actually have my own! And, for starters, I thought it would be a grand idea to open up this blog with 5 random facts about myself.

I am a reader and a writer.

That might come as no surprise to you since I list reading and writing pretty much every where on the blog. But, alas, it is true! I remember when I was younger and asking for books for Christmas and my birthdays instead of the usual toys and trinkets my siblings asked for. My love for reading developed into a passion for stories, both the written and visual kind. In fact, I am currently working on my first debut novel (no details can be given out currently, though)!

I love the 1940's.

The 1940's are my favorite time period and it greatly affects my taste in clothing and choice of music. I could sit in a diner with oxfords on and listen to The Andrew Sisters all day if I could make my own decisions about things like that. I find that people were classier during those times and so full of life and purpose. I love how even housewives got dressed up to cook, clean, and welcome their husbands home from work. Nowadays, so many people are in this "take me as I am and like me" state of mind that it makes me yearn for the past with the morals and social standards of that day.

I believe in fairytales.

Well, maybe not quite, but I sure do like to read and write them. I think my love of fairytales comes directly from this quote by G. K. Chesterton:
Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.
I love the romance and simplicity and the strength in fairytales just as much as I love the complex plot lines and intriguing characters of today's novels (which is quite a bit!). I apparently love them so much that I named my blog after one of the most famous fairytales of them all (among other reasons)!

I am in love with Jesus.

I am a Christian, and because of that, my blog will reflect that in some way or another. Just like how I talk about the Lord in my every day speech with strangers, this blog will have some Christian influence in it. I by no means want to be preachy (as that is just not my style), but many of my posts will talk about my faith in God and Hi undying grace. I pray that I can make some sort of impact in your lives, dear readers.

I've been homeschooled my entire life.

And I would honestly never change a thing. I'm actually thinking about blogging about my experience with home education at some point. It's very dear to my heart and the benefits outweigh pretty much everything.

I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and have enjoyed hearing my 5 random facts about myself. I'll be blogging twice a week, so you can look forward to the next post being on Friday! 

Much love,

Samantha
