Grandma and Grandpa’s 65th Anniversary Party
This July 4th was extra special for my Grandma and Grandpa McFarland this year! First, they were the Grand Marshals of the local 4th of July parade. Second, our family threw them a fun 65th wedding anniversary party! This is, of course, a very unique milestone to hit so we took this as an opportunity to celebrate! My mom did all of the heavy lifting when it came to planning the party for my grandparents, but when she needed our help to put together the decorations the day of the party we all stepped up to help out! We got a big “6” and “5” number ballots for photos and…

4th of July 2019
The 4th of July has always been one of my favorites holidays. Between the time spent with family and patriotic feeling from all of the festivities, there is nothing better than spending the summer celebrating.

The day begin with a early trip to set up the 65th wedding anniversary party that we would later be having for my Grandma and Grandpa McFarland. I will be sharing a ton of photos and thoughts on the…

Wisdom Teeth Removal Series: the Recovery
If you haven’t read the first and second part of this three part series, you can read about the consultation and the removal here. Today officially marks one whole week for me without having wisdom teeth. It has been a rather interesting week and it feels like the first part of it went by really slowly. That may sound a little confusing, but I will explain it all once I share the recovery process post procedure. I am going to count the day I had my wisdom teeth removed as the very first day, so let’s start there! Before the medication they gave me to go to sleep wore off…

Wisdom Teeth Removal Series: the Removal
You can read the first part of the Wisdom Teeth Removal Series all about the consultation here! Well, the day has finally arrived. By the time you all are reading this (and I am writing it) I have finally had all four of my wisdom teeth removed. Now, if you read my blog post about the consultation I had with the oral surgeon who would be preforming the “operation”, you will know that talking with the surgeon gave me quite a bit of confidence in him. Nevertheless, I was still a bundle of nerves when walking into the oral surgeon’s office. It was an early Tuesday morning and I hadn’t…

My Summertime Skincare Routine
I have had many requests for a hair tutorial blog post and a skincare routine. So today I am accomplishing one of those two tasks by sharing my summertime skincare routine! The blog post about my hair and how I do it is coming soon so stay tuned for that. As you may already know, taking care of your skin changes vastly depending on the season. For instance, in the winter season I like to use more products to product my skin from getting dry. If the Faintly Familiar Family would like to see what my winter skincare routine is I will do another post about that, but today I…
