Things I'm looking forward to this summer

School is almost over! Sure, I'll miss my friends, but I LOVE SUMMER. I'm a summer baby. My birthday is August 26th. I like the heat and I LOVE the water. I also love having a million play dates and VACATION! We don't really have a lot of plans, but here are some of the things I'm looking forward to this summer. 

I am looking forward to going to the pool at least every day. Jumping on the trampoline with my friends. It's even better when it's wet! I'll get to ride on my toy cars whenever I want, and I can have friends over to ride with me. OH! I'll be traveling this summer. I'm going to go see my aunt Helene, my uncle Stan, and my cousin Olympia in Maine. We're going to have so much fun. 

It get's better though. This summer I will be going to sleep away camp FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. I feel kind of nervous but really excited because one of my friends might come. I'm really happy to meet new friends and I'm really going to miss my parents. I know they'll be there when I get back. If not, I know they're at work. If they're not at work then it will just be a suspenseful situation. 

I'm playing soccer this summer. Well I'm not really sure if it's in summer but if it's not it doesn't matter anyway. Just know that I'm playing soccer soon and I'm really good. I'm sad because it's my last summer with my babysitter, but I'm happy we'll be spending more time together. Between day camps, trips and mini adventures I'm going to be a busy girl.

Spring Fling Fit

Earlier last month my school hosted a neon spring fling dance. I love dancing. My friend Riley and I invented a new dance trick and I saw so many of my other friends

I had to make sure I looked my best so I wore a white shirt, black tights and a sequined sparkly gold jacket. You can never be too sparkly at a dance. Or anywhere really. 

They played some of my favorite songs. Here are a few:

• Watch me whip
• Havana 
• Rolex 
• Shut up and dance 
• Cha Cha slide 
• The hustle 

The even made a conga line, but that’s not my style. So I just stood in the center of it all and waited for the madness to end. Still fun! 

What was your favorite school dance? Leave a comment below. 

See you soon!

Bluzeberry Moofins

I've gotten so many cookbooks as gifts the past 2 years because my friends and family know I LOVE to cook. So today I'm going to show you how to make one of my favorites, blueberry muffins, or as I like to call them... Bluzeberry Moofins. They are cooler that way.

Here's what you'll need

• 4 tbs unsalted butter
• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup superfine sugar
• finely grated zest of 1 lemon (optional)
• 1 cup of plain yogurt
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 9oz (250g) blueberries 
• mixing bowl
• sieve
• wooden spoon
• 2 soup spoons
• 12-cup muffin pan and paper liners

Step One

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celcius. Line your 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. I prefer colorful liners or liners with cool designs on them. Melt the butter in a pan, then set aside to cool. Sift the flour into a bowl, and mix in the baking powder, sugar, and lemon zest.

Step Two

Make a well in the center of the flour. Mix the yogurt, eggs, and cooled melted butter together in a large bowl, then pour into the dry ingredients.

Step Three

Add the blueberries. Mix until just combined, but don't overmix or the muffins will be heavy and gross. 

Step Four

Spoon evenly into the paper liners and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and springy. Cool the pan for 5 minutes. 

I got this recipe from my DK complete Children's Cookbook. Hope you like your muffins! See you soon.

Fur Vests, Leopard and Stars

Mixing prints is really fun because you get to try out new things. You get to wear new colors and new patterns. I love mixing patterns. You see what you like and what you don’t like. If you’re reading this, you should totally try it. 

I really like fur because it’s soft and it makes me feel like I have comfort. By the way, it’s fake fur. I like clothes that have stars on them because it makes me feel like I’m in outer space. Do you think we’ll ever go to space? I don’t think so. 

My boots have stars, and I have some shirts with stars on them. I’m not that picked those pieces out. My dad and my mom mostly pick out my clothes but they have good taste so I like them. 

What are your favorite patterns? 

See ya later. Come back soon!

Let's Make this Week Fun!

Here's a playlist for you guys to listen to and maybe have some fun. I love music and I love dancing. My favorite song on this playlist is Shut Up and Dance. It's my nanny's favorite song to. She's not just my nanny, she's one of my best friends. We dance together to this song all of the time. What's your favorite song on this playlist? 

A playlist featuring Hey Violet, WALK THE MOON, HRVY, and others

See you soon!

How I stay Active

I like to stay active. When you are active you get exercise, and when you get exercise you are happy. Some of my favorite sports are soccer, softball, fencing, and basketball. I also really love rock climbing.

When I go to all of my different activities I like to dress comfortably. I prefer tights and short sleeved shirts because you get more air, and if you get more air you get less sweaty. My sister won’t let me go to Lululemon but I like their clothes. For now, my favorite tights are from Lands End. 

I like soccer because you get to run around. You make really good friends on the soccer team. You get to kick something so it releases all of your stress. I get stressed, okay. I get stressed about stuff. I like softball for the same reasons. I also like it because you get to spit sunflower seeds on the ground.

Basketball is my third favorite because you get to run around, make loud noises on the ground and throw a ball. I really enjoy this. I recently started fencing. So far I like that you have really good traction on the floor because they give you a towel that helps with this. I also get a sword. I know that’s not what it’s called but I like calling it a sword. I’m looking forward to going to fencing tournaments. Yes, I’ll be that good. It’s me. I’m also looking forward to making some new friends on the fencing team. 

Rock climbing is another activity I love because I get to climb up things. There’s lots of racing and some of my friends are in my class with me. The next day I’m really sore which I like because it forces me to stretch and move. I get to make not just friends my age, but grown-up friends too. OH! I get to jump off of things and not fall to my death. That is really fun! 

All of these sports are challenging, but I power through them and have lots of fun. What are your favorite activities? Unrelated, what’s your favorite movie? If it’s night at the museum give me a thumbs up! 

See ya next time. Peace out!

A Trip to Montana

Last week I got to go to Montana with my mom and saw my cousins -- all four of them. I drooled on my mom's leg in the plane. And took a lot of blog pictures in the window seat. When I got to Montana I went skiing at Bridger Bowl. My cousins have a puppy that is a couple of months and one that is a one and a half. On his two back legs he is taller than my cousin Ted and he is 17!

My Mom

Skiing was scary at first. And hard! Last year I face planted. I went over a huge bump and I went flying through the air. This year I almost butt planted onto the ice. I was skiing with my cousins. Hana kept telling me not to run her over.

My cousins are all so nice. Hana always believes in me and gives me lots of hugs.

Thanks for stopping by!
