What It’s Like Being in a Winning Super Bowl City

Superbowl LIX honestly made me think of last year’s Superbowl, when I was actually in Kansas City when the Chiefs won Superbowl LVII against the San Francisco 49ers. So that is what I wanted to write about for today’s blog post.

There was a rumor that TikTok would be banned in the United States, but TikTok is still around and I will give it credit for finding the idea for this blog post from there. Specifically, my sister Kimmy did a TikTok post consisting of a photo of her from each month with text of a lesson she learned in the corresponding month. It was so cute that I wanted to do it too, but I also feel like I’m learning so much all the time. It would be hard for me just pick one lesson to share for each month.

A Day Out on the Water

My Review of Netflix’s The Crown

Most recently, my fiancé and I finished watching Peter Morgan’s The Crown. It isn’t often that we have a show that we both enjoy, so it was sad for us to have this show come to an end.

My 6 Favorite Video Games

With today being National Video Game Day, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite video games. These are current, and I have picked two games per device that I use so I can stick to my them of six things on a list.
