She likes coffee, books, and sci-fi movies. She may accidentally attack you with sarcasm and Batman references from time to time, but she promises to be nice. She currently resides in a galaxy far, far away with her family and cat. From Goodreads. Just look at that gorgeous cover.   The book Here is the fabulous synopsis that took me forever to find because I don’t have a Goodreads account therefore don’t know how it works. When Wither is crowned king of the faerie, he knows that...

Image via Pinterest Hey Everyone! I seem to have taken a brief (but much needed) blogging hiatus.  I was feeling a little discouraged and uninspired.  This time has helped me to refresh my mind while coming up with tons to talk about in upcoming posts.  And now, even when I finally post again, it's just a short one.   But   one filled with an exciting announcement...  I checked my number of followers sometime last week.  It was a measly 21.   This was the beginning of my blog burnout .  I was feeling discouraged.  On Saturday I checked my stats, and I had an amazing 90 followers!  It's amazing that people actually want to read my writing.  People all over the place are going to read these words I write. This afternoon I checked my stats and  literally squealed .  I now have  a gigantic 222 followers!   I don't know where all of this traffic come from, but I'm not complaining! As a ...

  What’s up?  Anything new going on?  I’m sitting at my kitchen table, trying to relax my shoulders as my mom eats salad and Willa walks around eating lettuce.  We just got home from rehearsal and I’m exhausted.  I really wanted to get this post out by tomorrow.  So here I am typing away, but why? Why do we blog?   It’s a big question I think we should ask ourselves.  I blog because it’s fun.  I enjoy pushing the publish button.  I love people reading what I wrote.  Connecting with people around the world.  Learning tips and tricks from other bloggers.  Reading other’s posts.    It’s not always fun, though.  If you are a blogger, you know that.  It’s hard work.  Sometimes I wonder if it makes a difference what one little girl says.  What one girl think, feels.     Does anyone truly care?  I have friends and family who love me.  It takes me h...

Hey Guys! Some exciting new coming your way right now.  Are you ready?  Let's jump in! ---------------------------------------- Today I'm participating in a launch tour for...  Charis Rae Charis is a blogger extraordinaire .  Her blogging journey began at age 9, when her dad set up a privet blog read by her family and close friends.  But Charis longed for more.  She wanted interactions with other bloggers she wanted her blog to grow!  Now, after some years, she has switched to a self-hosted (very professional and gorgeous) blog.    About the author  In her own words Charis is... Among many things, I'm a dreamer, dancer, writer & photographer, blogger, bibliophile, and daughter of the King. I enjoy blogging and am excited to move my blog to the next level. Her dreams for Charis Rae I hope that Charis Rae will become just as successful as The Girl Upstairs, but will reach more people, ...

Good afternoon! Just so you know, I typed that in a British accent. How have you been?  Did anything super special happen over the week?  Our first rehearsal for our summer show is tomorrow.  Although I'm still getting over P.S.D. (Post Show Depression) from Peter Pan, I'm looking forward to this show.  There will lots of singing and dancing, so yay! Anyway, on to the post! ----------------------------------------- A little while ago Catherine at The Rebelling Muse tagged me for the sunshine blog award.  She also tagged me for something else a while back, but now I can’t remember what.  Sorry Catherine!  Whatever the case, you should check out this sweet girl’s blog.  Now, what’s a tag without questions?  But first, a few rules.  Rules 1. Link back to your nominee 2. Answer the 11 questions from your nominee 3.  Tag 11 bloggers 4. Ask them 11 new questions 1. How did you co...

Hello! Are you ready for a super long post (in case you didn’t realize, you are supposed to say yes)?  Let’s begin.  First, I’d like to thank Catherin @ The Rebelling Muse for nominating me.  You guys should totally check out her blog and give it a follow. When I was tagged, I had absolutely no idea what The Liebster Award was. So, in my time of need, I relied on Google and she pulled through for me.  Here is the link to a blog I looked at explaining the origin and meaning of the tag.  But enough with all this, we have a post to begin! The Rules - Link back to the person who tagged you - Answer the eleven questions - Tag eleven bloggers and let them know - Ask your tagged bloggers eleven questions What is your favorite type of weather?

Hello there! Let's admit it, sooner or later everyone runs out of blogging inspiration.     You have ideas, but can’t seem to write enough about any one subject.  Nothing happens and you end up staring at an empty Word document until you eventually give up.     It's happened to me, it will happen to you.     I have compiled a rather large list of blogging prompts.     They aren't in any specific order.     I'd be honored if you used a or two.     Blogging Prompts - Describe the view from your window - Seen a new movie?     Write a review! - New book?     Another review is in order. - Makeup tutorial/s - Recent photography   - Wardrobe staples - Hair style tutorial   - Tips on something you excel in - Recent DIYs   - Random life hacks - Short story or flash fiction   - Hold a contest - Host a giveaway   - Write about your favorite ...
