Four Reasons Why Sweet Berry Farms is the Best

Fall In Texas

With school in full swing and the weather for the most part also in full heat, I was finally given a break on Columbus Day.  In Texas it does not start to feel like fall until the end of of October but does that stop me from dressing in cute fall clothes with my warm pumpkin spice late... no. Luckily when me and a couple of my friends decided to take a trip to one of the best pumpkin patches in Texas (Sweet Berry Farms). Everything about this day was perfect. From my excellent made coffee, to the wonderful playlist for the hour drive,the company, the Jesus talk and everything else through out the day. 

Sweet Berry Farms

Growing up I always went here as a kid but did not remember much about it. When I read an article on pintret about things to do in Texas in the fall this automatically became number one on me and my best friends list.  I am going to tell you four reason why this pumpkin patch is a MUST attend. 

       1.     Thousands of Pumpkins (and they are cheap)

 They ranged from about $3- $12! WOW! I know right! I was so impressed because these were beautiful award winning looking pumpkins and it added tot his experience. 

2. The adorable kids who are all dressed up in orange or like candy corn

 Okay there were so many fabulous moms here it was great. Sweet Berry is a perfect family outing from the hay rides to the pumpkin of all sizes. There is a little something for boys and girls of all ages. 

3. Stuff Your Own Scarecrow

 We didn't end up personally doing this but I talked to a family who made a scarecrow. It is a really cute concept for $16.50 you get all of the materials you need to make you very own life-size scarecrow. I honestly think this would be such an amazing fall family tradition to do every year.  Get a pumpkin and a scarecrow. It was truly awesome.

3. Picking your own Bouquet of Fresh Flowers

This was my favorite part of the entire trip.I consider my self sort of a flower child. I am in love with anything floral, or floral scented. Lets face it... flower make me happy. For $3.00 you get a vase and some scissors and go out into a giant field of flowers and pick as many as will fit in the vase. This is where we spent the most time picking out the perfect flowers.

Honestly you guys I could give a million more reasons why Sweet Berry Farms is the best pumpkin patch in Texas but I am going to leave it at these four. If you ever get a chance to make it down to marble falls this fall I highly recommend it. Oh and after take a trip down the street from Sweet Berry to the famous Blue Bonnet Cafe you wont regret it. 

-Happy Fall Y'all-

Dance Like No One Is Watching

When You Have A Chance To Be Taylor Swift, Always Be Taylor Swift

I attend a school where the word fun is nonexistent. We spend most of our day studying and stressing over not dropping in our class rank. It is insane. I took it upon myself to bring a little fun to the halls of my high school. Although I proved most of my peers cant dance, I also proved that they can take a break from their studies and have a little fun.

Enjoy!

“We should consider every day lost on which

we have not danced at least once.”

Rejoice in this Divine Romance

       I am completely and utterly amazed by Jesus. Earlier in the week I hit a low and just broke down and Jesus was there to pick me up. I literately felt the spirit of the lord wrap his arms around me letting me know everything would be alright. The thing I probably struggle with most is image and fulfillment in satisfaction other people have for me. If you think about it though, almost ALL people deal with this. 

Jesus is really the only person you need to worry about. If the most gracious and perfect person ever to exist can love you for who you are, than why can't you also love yourself for who you are. He sewed every piece of us together in heaven, from the neurons in our brain to the freckles on our face. Every single thing that makes you, you is from Jesus. Guys, I just get so excited when I think about this. It honestly blows my mind. JESUS, HE MADE ME, HE LOVES ME, NO MATTER WHAT. I have to remind myself of this truth every single day. 

I am not on this planet to please my peers, get straight A's, become famous, or any other goals I might have once had. I am on this planet to serve others, lover others, and spread the name of Jesus. 


Guys I don't know where I want this blog to go but I do know I always want to talk to y'all about Jesus. So stick around because I cannot wait to share what he has in store for me this year. 


God has made us what we are. He has created us in Christ Jesus to live lives filled with good works that he has prepared for us to do. - Ephesians 2:10
