Have you watched Big Dreams, Small Spaces on Netflix yet?
If you haven't, you should give it a try! If you love shows like The Great British Bake Off, then you'll love this show! It has such a cute, quaint, calming nature to it and I've really been loving it lately!
They take two different people per episode and help them create their dream garden over the course of the Spring and Summer and the outcomes are always so beautiful! And it all takes place over in England so the people are kind, the gardens are lovely, and the weather seems so dreamy. It will definitely make you want to garden yourself! I've been watching it while simultaneously planning out my own backyard garden, buying seeds and plants, and cleaning up my yard. It's been informative and motivating at the same time and I love that!
So there's your Netflix recommendation for the week! Oh! And "Santa Clarita Diet" with Drew Barrymore if you haven't seen that yet either! It's a funny zombie-esque show that takes place in Santa Clarita, CA. Jeremy and I watched the whole second season in like 2 days!
Happy watching! :)
Happy half birthday to me!
Yesterday I turned 25 1/2. A quarter of a century and a half. Twenty five and one half.
In celebration of my half birthday, I treated myself to a Mango Madness drink from Thirst, gardening for an hour or so in my garden, going home from work early, a walk around Memory Grove, and dinner at Applebee's! I went back to my roots and ordered only appetizers for dinner and it was the best decision! That's all I really ever crave from Applebee's: the appetizers. Oh man, that spinach artichoke dip is my favorite!
I love celebrating half birthdays! It's a fun celebration of life without the stress of having to do something substantial like a normal birthday. I feel like it was just a month ago I was so scared to turn 25, and before I knew it, it's already been half a year. So crazy! Time really does pass by so quickly, and I'm working on both embracing that and purposely doing things to slow down life a little where I can.
Happy half birthday to me!
So I bought myself an Ancestry DNA kit because how fun is it to find out what you really are! I got my results back on New Year's Eve but realized I never shared the results here!
I grew up my whole life answering the question "what are you?" with the same answer every time. "I'm like half Spanish, half German." I mean my mom's side migrated to the US from Spain hundreds of years ago, and my dad's side has a lot of German, Scottish, etc so it was the easiest answer; especially when you're a kid.
Now that I got my results back, I laugh because despite having the most German last name possible, I'm hardly German at all! Who knew all those little charts I made throughout elementary school were so inaccurate!
It's fun to see the actual percentage break down of everything that makes up my DNA and all the little surprises to it! I never knew I was so Irish/Scottish/British! Or so Native American for that matter.
It's crazy the different results each sibling can get! Granted my brother David has a different dad, but his came back with 55% Great Britain which seems like so much! I can't wait until the rest of my siblings and parents get their results in to compare!
It's just so fun to finally find out what composes your DNA. Now I know!
