Sweet Potato Saturday

I finally ate a sweet potato! It was delicious. Definitely going to become a staple in the house!   I baked it in the oven at 325 for an hour and a half. It was nice and soft!   I tried lots of topping to see what I liked. My favorite, of course, being peanut butter. Brown sugar, … [Read more...] about Sweet Potato Saturday

It’s a Yooper Thing

What? Yooper? Aย Yooper is someone who lives in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It's the best place in the world, but I'll save all that for another post. This is about my dinner tonight - a pasty! What? Pasty? Not pace-ty. Not pass-ty. Pass-tee! The most well known Yooper food. A typical pasty … [Read more...] about It’s a Yooper Thing

OOTD and Getting Judged (PI DAY!)

Pi Day is possibly the best day of the year. Why? Because my mom has all her students bring in pies, cookies, and anything else to eat!!! Of course I get some too! I ate so much apple pie. It's that time of year again - band adjudication. It's where the school band plays a few songs and we get a … [Read more...] about OOTD and Getting Judged (PI DAY!)

WIAW – Trying New Things!

I hardly have time to post anymore! I can always make a little room for WIAW, though! Thanks to Jen for hosting, as always! It was a pretty typical morning - cereal. Today's consisted of Kashi GoLean Crunch, banana cheerios, Greek yogurt, nutella, strawberries, and skim milk. It wasn't the best … [Read more...] about WIAW – Trying New Things!

An Unexpected Turn of Events

I was pleasantly surprised to wake up this morning to a snow day! I'm not even sure why - we didn't even get that much snow last night. The day has been spent in town with my mom. I've been really depressed today. I don't know why. I feel bad for my mom, but she's also been kind of crabby too. I … [Read more...] about An Unexpected Turn of Events

On the Path to Success!

The tournament is looking good for us! We won both games today andย beat our rivals!ย We haven't beat them since fifth grade so it was a big deal. I would say I did pretty good.ย 8 for 8 on my free throws! I also fouled out... but we pulled it off! Now we have to win 3 games tomorrow and we'll be … [Read more...] about On the Path to Success!

A Fabulous Friday

Well. We made it through another week! I'm pretty excited for this weekend - basketball tournament! And it's at home, so no traveling :D I actually had a good day today. I started it off with Overnight Oats! It was my first time ever trying them. I'm still acquiring a taste for oatmeal, but I'm … [Read more...] about A Fabulous Friday

Thankful Thursday!

I have so much to be thankful for. I need to remember that when I'm letting some small thing get in the way of my life. Here's something for everyone to try: think of something bad that happened, and see if something good came out of it. My example: If I wouldn't have started gaining weight, then I … [Read more...] about Thankful Thursday!

It Never Stops

Remember when I said I was almost done with everything and would have time to myself? What a joke. I'm just as busy as ever. Friday: Bonding time with my dad. I don't go to his house very much. We went to a basketball game (weird! ;)) then he was hungry and wanted Culver's. I was bad and had … [Read more...] about It Never Stops
