The one with happy thoughts.

I feel like my last couple of blogs have been pretty depressing. So I decided to write on the lighter side today. When going through crap I noticed that its easy to loose sight of the little things that make you happy. So I made a list. I'm not a big list maker, but I pushed through it and it was awesome.

So here's a little bit of that list:

Dove Deoderant. -If you live in the desert, you understand the NEED for a deoderant that will protect you all day and will stop you from sweating like a man. This deoderant smell AMAZING! It also reduces the visibility of hair. 
WOO to the HOO!



Paul Mitchell products.- I'm not usually a snob for anything. But I love to go to the Paul Mitchell school to get my hair did. They do a good job, and have quality products.





SHOOOOOOEEESSSS!
Need I say more?




Picture/Card board.- This is in my room. I look at this, and remember the people and events that mean the most to me. 





Freaking granola.- It's hard to describe my love for granola. It's delicious, sweet, crunchy, and pure amazing. Find me something to put granola on and I will love you forevever.





My journal and my planner.- Both of these things are essentials to my life. My journal contains all my A.D.D type thoughts, and my planner keeps my A.D.D contained. Both make me happy and sane.
Nobody wants an unhappy, insane Elisa.




My daily Bible.- I try my best to read everyday, but life gets in the way. I can tell you for sure that whenever I do read I feel ready to bring on whatever life has in store. Thanks God!





Mollie the MacBook.- I've had her for almost 3 years. And she's still going strong. I'm not one for fighting, but I will always take the side of an Apple. 





Taking pictures with props, with this chick.- And being in California, while taking pictures, with props, with this chick. But mostly this chick. :)






Every single person in this picture.- The youth group of FSBCA makes my life 10 billion times greater! I love these crazy kids! 
OOOOHHH NIIICE!





Eating Chick'n nuggets with Elias Elefante.-We were watching Community..
The greatest show on earth...
and they were eating chicken nuggets, and we both got the craving nuggets. I, of course, made "chick'n nuggets." And him with his regular nuggets. It seems dumb, but situations like these is kinda what I live for. Watching a good show, eating, relaxing...it's my favorite thing on the earth. Thanks Elias Elefante.

No way she still is out here blogging like it's 2012.

 Actually, yes she is. And she is NOT sorry.  Slight update: I’ve been homeschooling and microschooling for the past couple years. I started my middle and high school microschool in my home in August 2024 and began homeschooling my boys simultaneously in August 2025. Now sitting here in January 2026, having done both for a full semester, and that feels great! This has been really great for myself and my husband, and my kids! So by all metrics, when people ask me how I am, the answer should be “ GREAT!” And normally it is. But the current world events feel really heavy. The tumultuous circumstances that continue, are hard to ignore and especially hard to not let it get you down. So that dichotomy between personally doing well and globally feeling like we are all falling apart has got me feeling really ✨reflective. ✨ Also, I learned recently that those sparkle emojis are a sign that AI is being used. Y’all. If you think any part of this is AI, you really don’t know me at all. An...

Mom, Musicals, and Mary Poppins

 I’ve been thinking a lot about my mom lately. Probably because the anniversary of her death is coming up this month. March is always a lot: Leo's birthday, our wedding anniversary, her death anniversary. Wait. I also just realized November is similarly a lot: Uriah's birthday, my birthday, and my mom's birthday. Why can't huge life events we have no control over be more spread out throughout the year? Anyway. My mom loved musicals. LOVED musicals. Most people knew her as an amazing educator for children with special needs, as that was her career about which she was so passionate. But prior to that, she did a lot of local theater-- even making her way into Knott's Berry Farm's Birdcage Theater as a performer. Not sure what her role was, but I once saw a picture of her some red, saloon girl getup and didn't want anymore information, for the sake of my innocence.  But yes, musicals and theater in general were something she enjoyed watching as well as being in!...

The one where I'm socially awkward.

I never know how to act around people I just met. Or barley met. Or hardley know. Most of my close friends couldn't stand me the first time they met me. Yes, this includes the love of my life, a Mr. Elias Hernandez. But I guess it goes back to high school...... Insert flashback noise from Waynes World.....no? Moving on. I was a terrible person back in high school. I mean wow. Just awful. My mouth is what got the best of me. Either horrible rumors and gossip behind people back, or snarky sarcastic remarks in front if people I was MEAN! Whenever I met someone, I could not look past their faults. Anyone. If I saw someone I would automatically think of something I don't like about them. It was bad. Eventually I let God take care of me. By the end of senior year I had done some damage control and cut some fat from my friends. I ended up with only 3 friends at my high school. Yup 3. That's it. Love those three girls. You know who you are. So, in letting God get a hold of ...
