Books you should read

Sorry everyone for not updating, but here is a list of books I think everyone should read eventually. ;)

Almost Home by Joan Bauer~ "Sugar Mae Cole sure could use some sweetness in her life." "Almost home, almost happy, soon maybe." This story is a sad but sweet tale that makes you realize how some people live and how great your life may be.

Number The Stars by Lois Lowry~ This book tells the story of a ten year old girl growing up in Copenhagen Denmark in 1943. A bit scary, a bit sad, but gives truth to some things. 

The Gentlemen Outlaw and Me by Mary Downing Hahn~ "In the old west, it's easier to be an outlaw than a girl."  This story sets in the old west, a daring adventure with an outlaw, a girl disguised as a boy, and an amazing dog.

The Homeschool Liberation League by Lucy Frank~ Just because this book is good and it needs to be read by more people.

The Trouble with May Amelia by Jennifer L. Holm. "May Amelia is about to learn one thing, she has got more sisu (that's Finnish for 'guts') than seven boys put together!"   If you think your parents are hard on you, read this book. And remember the lessons taught through it.

Yup, that's it. Just books, bye for now!

Abbie R,

Frozen Blog Party

I'm joining the Frozen Blog Party   time to answer questions!



   1. Who is your favorite Frozen character (or characters) and why?
   
Elsa, she wanted her freedom, and as much as I love Anna, she could have just gone back and left her sister. Though the frozen kingdom was a bit of a problem. 
  2. Which is your favorite Frozen song (or songs) and why?
I've got a soft spot for Do You Wanna Build a Snowman, but Let It Go tops it off.   
   3. If you could make one change to the movie, what would it be?
Probably Elsa and Anna's stubborn ways.   
   4. Would you want to see a Frozen sequel?  What would you want it to be about?

Yes, and I would love to see it about Eugene and Rapunzel's trip to Arendelle!    
   5.  Ice Palace or Arendelle Castle?

Ice Palace.   
   6.  If you could choose a sidekick from the movie, would you choose Sven or Olaf?  Why?

Sven, I want to ride him around.   
   7.  Do you think all men pick their noses, as Kristoff claimed?

No. I can certify that "all" men don't.   
   8. Which Frozen character is the most like you (or the one you relate to most) and why?  

Elsa... We love our younger siblings, but we like to be alone as it gives us freedom. And the cold never bothers us anyway.   
   9.  How many times have you seen Frozen so far? 

Once, but that will soon change as I now own it on DVD!
  10.  In keeping with my overall blog theme, ;) which of the Frozen dolls that have been released is your favorite?  (e.g. the Disney Store fashion dolls, Disney Store Disney Animator's Collection and Toddler dolls, Limited Edition Disney Store dolls, Mattel dolls, etc)

The Disney Fashion Dolls are my favorite, I should have gotten them...

Well everyone, a bit about my current life, I am sick. Have been for three weeks, it's bad. I hope none of you suffer the sickness like I do.

Abbie R,

Some life, the Green brothers, (The lack of my sanity.)

I've been sick for like over a week, now that I'm feeling better I thought I should do an AWESOME post. (Even if it may or may not contain pictures.) That vacation post is going to happen, I promise. But I need time.



Okay, my past two, three weeks a maybe have been torture and delight. I became a Nerdfighter, which concludes to, I HAVE BECOME OBSESSED WITH VLOGBROTHERS!! They do have some ridiculously funny, but also quite inspiring stuff. The ever famous and actually really smart brothers, Hank and John Green, have given me needed knowledge. I give you, some amazing advice and stuff for life:



1. THIS IS NOT THE BEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE. Hank Green mentioned that he loves being an adult because he has a better understanding of the world. And I agree, I mean, my mom constantly tells me, (As I'm not even a teenager yet,) 'You don't know anything about life.' And I'm always going in my head, "Well duh. I know that." But here's the thing, your life will probably get to be waaayyy better after you get out of college and become an adult. Not an adult, an adultier adult. The adultiest adult you can be!!! Meaning right now, maybe almost the worst time of your life.



2. SPELLING MAKES A DIFFERENCE. Okay, this one is all me, spelling and using words correctly makes you look SO much smarter, so please use this guide:


Their: IT MEANS IT IS OWNED BY SOMEONE. It is THEIR house. That is THEIR dog.


There: IT MEANS SOMETHING IS THERE. The house is over THERE. We can park the car over THERE.


They're: IT MEANS THEY ARE, IT'S A CONTRACTION OF THEY ARE. THEY'RE going on vacation, THEY'RE making pancakes.



I'm not going to go into Your\You're, but if you understand the following sentence, you have mastered Their\They're\There.


They're building their house over there.




3. YOU NEED MORE THAN ONE FUTURE JOB PLAN. Seriously, I have three career choices. The first one (My dream goal.) Is to become a writer for Dreamworks Animation. The second is to become a Cyber Spy, this is an option for me thanks to my dad. And the third, (My if all else fails default plan.) Is to work for and takeover my mom's wedding business. Because she said I could have it if I needed it, and so I'm keeping it as a default plan.




4. YOU COULD FAIL ON OVERCOMING YOUR PROBLEMS AND GETTING PERFRCT GRADES. I'm not saying you should, but I'm saying you could and still be better off than bunches of people. So don't worry so much, it will be fiiinneee!!!!





There, an awesome post. Get used to this, I have a LOT more good stuff to post about!


Abbie R,
