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...

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...

Hello! I hope everyone is excited for Christmas! We just got our tree up on Saturday. On our way out to my Baba and Nonnos house, we stopped at Tim Hortons for a hot chocolate and reindeer donut which we had been eyeing for a while! We spent a while choosing are tree finally settling on a nice full pine! We all helped cut it down then we dragged it back, the weather was very nice plus 2! When we got home and put the tree up it was way more "Charlie Brown" than anything, but we all decorated it and danced to cheesy Christmas music! Then after dinner we all sat down and watched Elf our favorite Christmas movie!

 So today my mom, brother and I started making some of our favorite Christmas bark, for a Christmas cookie swap! The first part of our tradition is digging out the ripped out page of a magazine labeled 2003 LCBO Food and Drink magazine https://www.lcbo.com/lcbo/recipe/peppermint-bark/200306040#.XfKqfdVKFz8 , from our Christmas box deep in the basement! After that, we began weighing and measuring the dark chocolate! Then after it's melted in a double boiler drop some peppermint oil in, then spread it out on a tray, leave it out in the freezing front porch to freeze in -20. Then after an hour we took it in and melted the white chocolate added peppermint then spread it over top, added crushed candy cane let it freeze then voila! I love this colorful chocolaty sweet, and making it with my family is all the sweeter!!!

Hello! I know it may be a bit early to some, and it kinda is for me, too but its time to start talking about Christmas! Now I know that some of you may really want to be in the Christmas spirit but can't really get in the spirit so here are some ideas that helped me! Enjoy (: (: 1: The simple things Sometimes all you have to do to get into the Christmas spirit are the easiest things including: -Putting up a Christmas tree (if not in your living room in your own room) -Bake Christmas cookies -Have some Hot Chocolate or Christmas tea -Put on a Santa hat (like I say the little things) -Create a Christmas list, not only for yourself but for others too -Listen to some Christmas music -Wrap some gifts  2: A festive Aroma To me, a big part of feeling a certain energy is to smell it, And a diffuser blend is just the thing! Here's my favorite holiday blend and a little extra surprise for those without diffusers or these oils. Sugarplum fairy 4 drops peppermint  4 drop...

This year for Halloween my friend and I, "Bear Hugger" went trick or treating together as Christmas Carolers! I already had a green cloak so we thought we could make Bear Hugger a red one. Her cloak ended up being soo fluffy that I got a bonnet. There's no saying which ones better because you need both us for the full effect! After Tech Club at the library, Bear Hugger and I went over to her Mammas to show her our costumes. When we got back home we made some pizza toast and got our costumes ready! After dinner, my Grandma and Grandpa came over to see our costumes as well! Then we got our costumes on, curled our hair (kinda the curling iron was acting weird and by the end of the day we had strait hair again ) Then we set out carrying are burlap and red satin trick or treat bags! Bear Hugger and I had prepared some "spooky" Christmas carols, and we got tons of extra candy! When we got back Bear Hugger and I decided to try and trick my parents by sneaking through...

Hello, everyone! Happy yesterday Thanksgiving! I'm sorry I have not posted anything new lately but I have been really busy. My parents went to our camp for the weekend and my brother and I went to our Grandparents. The first two days we went to our Grandmas and Grandpas and it was my Grandmas's birthday on Friday, so we face timed my older cousin living in Vancouver and my little cousin and Uncle came over.  Later she opened her gifts ( well my four-year-old cousin did most of the unwrapping) we enjoyed some glutenfree pumpkin cupcakes I had made the day before with a large amount of cream cheese frosting in between! Then the next day my other older cousin came over and my little cousin again, we celebrated thanksgiving with them that night. Then the next morning my brother, little cousin, Grandpa and I all went for a walk, my cousin was cold so I gave him my jacket that went down to his feet, that was very cute. Then after lunch, my Baba and Nonno came and picked us up, on t...
