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 (; (;

How to get into the christmas spirit

Image
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...

Goecaching at the Terry Fox monument

Image
Each Monday we go geocaching with our homeschooling friends. We go to a new location each week, and discover new caches and new ideas for places to hide caches we make! Currently, we are working on a Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, and hopefully a Chronicle of Narnia the Magician's Nephew multi-cache! Anyhoo, we went to the Terry Fox monument which I have never been to.  The lookout was beautiful and the weather nice at first, for an early November afternoon. We set out for our first cache! On our way there we came across a tunnel that made its way under a road, of course, all us kids just had to run threw it! The first find was a good one, a container disguised as a tree, and we found some cool loot. But the thing with our club is we bearly ever take any and leave TONS! We kept walking threw the long grass while the weather got worse and worse when we realized the cache we were looking for was up a cliff! So, two others and I others found a small trail going uphill, half r...

Happy Halloween!

Image
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...

Mermaid swimming

Image
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...

Harry Potter Festival

Image
Sorry I didn’t wright in the past couple of weeks. I was really busy preparing for the Willow Springs Harry Potter Festival! I was vending with my felted quidditch players, snitches, mobiles, and butterbeer lip balm. It was a cold September afternoon, we arrived an hour early to set up. The wind was so strong that my display of quidditch players hanging on branches crept falling over and the table cloth they provided crept blowing away. At 3 o’clock all the Potter heads started arriving. The Festival was great there were vendors with magical treats and butterbeer! They were making some house themed pizza in there pizza oven and that warm breeze was nice. It was crazy cold all day and bundled up in a sweater and jacket and blanket and hats mittens I was still cold. Inside they had honey dukes! They also had wooden pins and assorted magical stickers. There was also a make your own potion (tea) station! They had Harry Potter trivia and Quidditch!
