That Deaf Girl Blog

  • Highlights from Auckland, NZ

    1.7 million people live in the city of Auckland alone. It’s more than the population of South Island. Waiheke Island has over 30 wineries and breweries. 12$ for a 40 minute ferry ride over, $40 all day hop on and hop off all over the islands. Best buck for a quick trip. Crazy fact: Stonyridge

  • I am way too excited about this trip! We legit lost power for 3 days. That windstorm was insanely crazy! Once we got our power back, I immediately started laundry and dishwasher. I don’t think I’ve ever been that ecstatic about laundry or dishes. Little things! Speaking of being able to do laundry, I packed

    Accountability…

    Does anyone ever have days where working out feels like it’s out of the question? That piece of chocolate looks really good? Maybe skip the gym and sleep in because you worked 10 hours the day before? We all have those days. I totally feel this way on almost a daily basis. Is it because

  • Power is out

    Power is out

    I’m sitting here in the dark with the power out since 5 am. It’s 6 am now. It’s extremely windy out and school is closed over it. Not going to lie. This is probably eerily creepy. The garage door is making all kinds of noises like there’s a man with a chainsaw skimming it. It’s

  • Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Mug Cake

    The other night, we were catching up on a Netflix show and all the sudden it got super quiet. Justin’s head was in the pantry. My husband was having a sweet tooth and asked me if we had cookies. Now, if you know us, we don’t buy sweets at the grocery store because it would

  • Pity Or Compassion?

    I realize most of my blog reflects on my past life and struggles. Thing is, I don’t ask for sympathy. But why do people pity me? Or is it compassion? I know most of you show compassion, I really do. But, then the other half is giving me a pity party. What’s going on? Compassion

  • Homemade Dog Treats – No Bake PB Pumpkin Balls

    You guys! I seriously love baking. Give me donuts. Cupcakes. Ice cream! (Not really baking but I do make homemade ice cream.) I scroll through Pinterest constantly looking for homemade dog treats that they would love. This one tops my Pinterest finds. My dogs love these peanut butter pumpkin balls so much. Let’s be real.

    That Deaf Jersey Girl…

    Meeting my husband was one thing I thought would never happen. I was at the end of my NFL cheerleading season, a bad break up, and swore to myself I would be single for a while. Well, look what happened. A year and half long distance relationship, which led to a move to VA, a

  • “I’m Sorry, What?”

    This is a common saying. They’re talking to you. You know they’re talking. Sometimes being in a group conversation can put a damper on your night out. Everyone’s laughing and having a great time. There’s background noise at the restaurant and you’re trying to listen to your friends. There is now technology that can minimize
