A Month of Natalie - Hobbies


List your top 5 hobbies and why you love them.

I absolutely LOVE reading. I read all kinds of books. I can enjoy most things from my absolute favorite Shakespeare to the poorly written but oh so fun Amish books. Right now I am reading a non fiction book about Jamestown, an end of the world as we know it novel, and the Bell Jar. Seriously, I am pretty diverse in what I enjoy but as long as I am reading I am a happy girl.


I love scrapbooking. I love crafting and making memory books for my family. Our evacuation list actually includes our family scrapbooks. First of all, those things took SO much work, plus they are the embodiment of beautiful family history.


I enjoy cooking. I like making healthy food delicious and I love experimenting with foods and flavors I haven’t previously tried. I also love to take a recipe or idea from somewhere and then adapting and making it my own. I can’t say that I have an equal love for baking but I can cook savory food all day.


I like planning. I am not sure if this counts as a hobby to the rest of the world but I plan out everything from my day tomorrow to homeschool curriculums to my dream house to our budget. I actually really really enjoy planning things. If I have just five minutes to squeeze something in, it is usually a plan or a list from something I want to do later.


This last one, like the first one, might not even be considered a hobby, but it is one of my favorite things to do, so I will list it: I LOVE ORGANIZING. Now, that being said, my house is not uber organizing, and I work on things, organizing them over and over again, until I have perfected it. For example I have organized and reorganized the homeschool room about six times this summer. It isn’t perfect but it is getting there. Actually, organizing it one more time is on my list of things to do this afternoon. Now, the bathroom, that is another story, Brandon has dropped several hints that he would like it organized but I am not inspired yet, so I am going to wait until he flat out asks, or I get the bathroom organizing bug.
