A wonderful day to believe day 2

Keeping up with Anna @ A sweet Southern Mess in her link up series :)


As some of you know, last Friday was the opening night of Pirates of Penzance! This things I believe this week have to do with that

I believe the music has the power to make you smile.
I believe music can bring people together.
I believe the only thing to fear is fear itself.
I believe love will always find a way to make it through.
I believe a good photo says it all.
I believe in all my friends who have been busting their butts to make this show the best ever.
I believe in the Pirate king and the Major General.
I believe in the Pirates of Penzance.

Oregon Food Bank

Yesterday I went on a class trip to the Oregon Food Bank with my Health Class. I figured it would be super boring: having to scoop and bag beans and all. But actually, it was a blast. we worked for an hour and a half and made 5,700 meals for people who were going hungry in Oregon. It felt really great to be able to help :)

Obviously I'm the one with the camera case... I carry it everywhere.

Pink Lemonade Cupcakes


How yummy do these look? They actually kind of taste like Fruit Loops. I had a blast with my Betty Crocker frosting set last night, it took a while though. All in all, I'm proud of my cupcakes <3

Tuesday 10: 10 things in my bag

Linking up with Lena @ Mom 2 Memphis and Ruby for her 10 things weekly link up :) This seems super fun.

Though I don't normaly carry a purse, I do have things on me at all times that I can share (I would have a picture if I knew about this before hand, but I just saw this like 5 minutes ago and though it would be fun to do, so forgive me this time)

Without further ado, 10 Things you will find in my bag:

1) My cell phone-- I don't leave my bedroom without it, let alone my house.

2) My Nikon Coolpix P500-- not the best camera, but it cost enough and takes good photos. it's like my baby. I just finished paying it off.

3) Chapstick or Lip gloss-- I'm a girl, I like color on my lips

4) Money-- though I never seem to have enough for whatever it is I want to buy.

5) Keys-- However, I sometimes forget them on my dresser...

6) A book-- I hate getting somewhere early and having nothing to do, so I carry a book with me, currently it's Girls in Pants- the third summer of the sisterhood.

7) Migraine Medicine-- Mostly Excedrin: for my chronic Migraines 

8) Water-- especially if I go out with Charlee or one of the other children I nanny.

9) Crochet-- My sister Angie and I are starting to sell our stuff, so we're always working.

10) My dad's business cards-- Because you never know when someone will need their Lawn Mower tuned.

So, there you have it, the top 10 things in my bag on a daily basis. what's in your bag? link up and let us know

Blanchet Speech Tournament

Saturday, March 3rd 2012 was our Last Speech tournament before Districts. How'd we do? Well, not so well. No one on our team finaled. But I did have a really good talk with some amazing boys on my team and it was a really good day anyway. Plus, I got to flirt, which is ALWAYS fun.

I want to find that right look that totally sands out as Who I am. I also want to start doing guest posts and interviews. if you're interested, email me. (contact info can be found here). I want to thank all my lovely swap sponsors and for anyone else who would like to swap with me, it's free so don't hesitate to email me about it :)

That Darn Kid

Charlee has never liked her hair. Her mom refused to let anyone cut it until she was 16 years old. Well, that was so, until her dad moved in with some new girl and they decided they wanted it cut. So my mom, being the 'Hair cut lady' of the family, cut it for her from butt-length to shoulder length last summer.

But, On Monday, I came home to a surprise... hair in the cat litter box?! A kid with bangs that stopped more than halfway up her forehead?! She had cut her own bangs and then lied to us saying my mom had done it. However, my mom was home all day and had gotten just as upset when she found out.

Kinds Will Be Kids I suppose... I mean, what kid didn't cut their own hair at least once in their childhood?
