Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Book Review: House Rules and My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult

How is it MARCH already?!?!?! What the heck! It's Friday! I love getting out of school early. So much. My mom and I are gonna go xc skiing later, then I'm going to a basketball game with my dad. My first Fitness magazine came in the mail today! :) I actually had a really busy week which I … [Read more...] about Book Review: House Rules and My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult

WIAW and a New Recipe!

I've really had a variety of foods lately. So this WIAW is more like a What I Ate Week! On Saturday I went to my most favorite place in the world - Noodles & Company! However, I haven't been there since I started eating healthy, and my usual buttered noodles honestly didn't sound that good. … [Read more...] about WIAW and a New Recipe!

Another Win and OOTD #2!

It was tough, but my team came from behind and won the basketball tournament! It was a long day but not nearly as long as the last tournament. We won our first game. Not very interesting. Lost the second game, and won the third. Since we had the second best record, we still made it to the … [Read more...] about Another Win and OOTD #2!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

I WON A 5K! go me... :) Today was a beautiful day for a race. Sun shining, a little wind. I know you're all wondering what my time was!!! 23:08. Not bad for running in the snow!

Chicken Pot Pie

I was pleasantly surprised to wake up this morning to a snow day! It must've snowed a foot last night! I made some whole wheat waffles with Greek yogurt, honey, and a little syrup for breakfast. Yum! I went to the gym and did this workout from Iowa Girl Eats. I think it's good prep for my … [Read more...] about Chicken Pot Pie

Not the Best Week

I have the winter blues. I get it every year. I just feel like exploding. I hate school so much. Middle school is so stupid. I'm honestly considering homeschooling myself. I can't stand the immaturity. All that aside, I had one of my last long weeks. I can't wait to be done and have time AT … [Read more...] about Not the Best Week

Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult

This was the first book I've ever read by Jodi Picoult. It's about a woman, Mariah, who finds her husband cheating on her and her seven-year-old daughter Faith who starts seeing God and performing miracles. Soon the press is involved and now it's a custody battle. I really enjoyed reading this … [Read more...] about Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult

Freedom is Almost Here

It's been a very long week. I haven't posted for awhile! Let's start with last weekend. Basketball tournament ALL day Saturday. 8:00 am game, we lost. Lose again and we go home. But not my team! We decided to win FOUR more games and get in the championship game. We lost that, so we got second … [Read more...] about Freedom is Almost Here

Progresso Vegetable Classics Minestrone

Since my mom was crabby tonight, we did not end up making dinner. I still had a soup craving, however, so I made Progresso Vegetable Classics Minestrone. I like that it is vegetarian.Β  I used the stovetop and it took about 10 minutes on a low-medium setting. Finally time to eat! I thought it was … [Read more...] about Progresso Vegetable Classics Minestrone
