Spring is one of my favorite times! I love to open my window for the first time since September, and watching the sun come out earlier and going down later. But currently, we're all stuck inside, so most of the spring things we're used to doing like going for long walks in the sunshine with our friends, or celebrating Easter with our family, we are unable to do. So this list will hopefully get you into the spirit of spring! 1. Do Some Baking From cookies to cakes baking is one of my favorite ways to get into the spring spirit. You can make some sugar cookies and decorate them with pastel icing, or bake a lemon or carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and decorate them with eggies my favorite Easter treat! 2. Craft This one is super fun! You can felt or knit. Last year my mom and I found a pattern to knit little egg decorations, it was so cute! If you have styrofoam eggs you can felt on them with pretty egg designs, you could also actually dye some eggs and put them...

Hey guys! So I know that there’s a sickness going round that has caused a-lot of people staying home in their house. I just came back from vacation so me and my family have to stay under quarantine for 2 weeks. So I thought I would put together a list for you guys with things to do under quarantine! 1. STRETCH OR EXERCISE  You know that video on YouTube in your “watch later” about getting the splits? Well, it’s time to put it to use, when's a better time then when you are stuck at home doing nothing? But of course, if you are feeling sick maybe lay off the hard work and try this next one. 2. DO A PUZZLE  Dust off that old puzzle that’s been laying on your coffee table for a year unopened and put aside that excuse of “There’s probably pieces missing” and put it all together! 3.LISTEN TO A PODCAST OR AN AUDIOBOOK  I love listening to podcasts like, “Dear Hank And John” and audiobooks, like “Harry Potter” or “Anne Of Green Gables” it’s like reading a book witho...

Hey! I hope your all doing well and staying healthy. Me and my family have arrived in Mexico! My grandparents have a house there which we usually visit yearly but didn’t last year, so it was all the more exiting getting onto our plane.  From our home town to Toronto is about a 2 hour flight and from Toronto to Cancun Mexico is about 4.5 hours. My grandparents house is in a little fishing town just outside of Cancun, and has grown so much since our first ever visit back in 2013. The plane ride was long,but I past the time watching some “Stuck In The Middle” and reading a new magazine called “Showstopper” a dance magazine, which was entertaining. Anyway, enuf about the ride here, and more about Mexico! The first couple of nights I was sick with light headedness and dizziness from dehydration, so those days we kinda just laid low, with occasional walks on the sandy beach. After I was over that we began swimming and the good times began! I’ve been in the pool every day since arriv...

Hey guys! I want to let you know about my favorite magazine New Moon Girls. Its girl created, with tons of fun poems, drawing, stories, and more! You can learn about strong women from the past. They also have an online community, where you can ask questions and discover new things! But my favorite part is that anyone can contribute! In a past issue, they mentioned how bathroom signs are very gender stereotypical and not inclusive to all genders, and if anyone had any alternative ideas they could send them in. So I decided to watercolor a painting featuring the men's washroom with a Sun symbol, the Woman with a Moon, and the Gender neutral bathroom with a star. Then just a few weeks ago I received an email saying that my painting was going to be in the upcoming March-April magazine! I was so happy that my message was coming through and hope that by this being published, more and more businesses will stop putting up signs that are saying that women just wear dresses and men just wear...

Hello! I hope you're all doing well (: So, for a long time now I have been thinking about getting a Daith piercing. The Daith is a piece of cartilage inside the ear, and supposedly has a pressure point to help with migraines, anxiety and more! So because I suffer from migraines, I thought I would try it out! I have been saving up all year, and finally went to the piercers. I went with my Mermaid friend Viktoria from Superior Mermaids, and our New Zealand exchange student who both wanted to get piercings. Viktoria got both her Daiths pierced and Kate got her ear lobes re-pieced. When we arrived, we signed some papers and chose the earings we wanted, I chose just plain silver with an opal gem! I was the first to go, being the most scared. I laid down and the piercer talked us through the process. After cleaning my ear, she told me to take a deep breath in and on the exhale she pulled the needle through. On a scale from 1-10 I'd say it was a 6, I mean it hurt but I was holdin...

Hello! Sorry, it's taken me so long to upload this, it has after all been 2 weeks since my birthday, but I really wanted to let you guys know how it went! So on Friday night, all my friends came over for my party which was a Mystery party called "Turmoil At The Talent Show" it was tons of fun! We each had a character who we had to act as for the whole party, for instance, my name was Nobel Umbridge I hade a fear of germs and a love to debate everyone about everything! The game was set into 3 rounds, the first one I performed my talent routine assigned to my character, the Napolean Dynomite dance! Then the next performance was of Green Eggs and Ham, then a Latin reading of a gothic poem and so on! Then after finishing round one, we sat down for dinner, a Kitchen Sink Salad and Mozza sticks! During our dinner, the talent show received an odd phone call saying that the talent show must not go on! Then out came the cake, a Rose Pomegranate and Chocolate Cake that I made and ...

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great 2019 and will have an even better 2020! On New Year's Eve, my family went to my friend's house out in the country! We had tacos for dinner which were really good. Then we all went outside for a bonfire! They had set up projection lights on the trees and they were super cool! It was already dark so we decided to play a game of "sardines" when one person hides then the rest have to find them, then when you find the person you need to hide with them until there is one person left! After a couple rounds of that, my friend and I went inside to heat up their sauna! After getting in it we decided to jump into the snow! Something I had never done before! It wasn't very cold out and even with just my bathing suit it wasn't bad, but I couldn't get myself to belly flop in like I could have, instead most of the time I just cannonballed leaving my legs and feet tingling! We jumped in a good 7 times and after that decided to wa...

If you have followed the CBC/ Netflix series Anne with an E for the past 3 years you will know that the version of the classic Anne of Green Gables is a  darker modernized  version but none the less will transport you to the beloved story. All three seasons I have laght cried and felt the magic! But sadly " We have reached the end of the red Green Gables road after 3 wonderful seasons." Said Moria Walley-Beckett writer/Exec Producer Anne with an E . So for this blog post I would like to say thank you to Anne with an E for being a show that I could watch with my whole family talk about with my friends and feel it in my heart. And if you ever come back with a 4 season I will dey my hair green (; (;

This past weekend I went swimming with my mermaid buddy Viktoria from Superior Mermaids! But we didn't just swim we mermaid swam! Viktoria had taught me how to mermaid swim a couple of years ago and she's an amazing teacher here's her link   https://superiormermaids.wordpress.com/ I chose to wear my blue tang tail (I also have a clownfish) and Viktoria wore her monarch butterfly! If you wanna buy a tail here is the link for where I get my tails  www.finfunmermaid.com but there are many other brands. Viktoria and I did a lot of swimming and practiced are somersaults, tail flaps, bubble ring and laps. There are many different swimming styles to do with a tail!  Mermaid tails are so much fun! They are way faster then normal swimming plus you feel so magical in them! You can also swim in the lake or ocean with your tails, but it's FAR too cold for this mermaid to be swimming outside right now. There were also many little magical children awing over our tails! A li...
