Dissection of a Frog in Biology


25 Mar

Today in Biology I got the chance to dissect my very first frog. Even though I want to preform surgery on people in the future I hated dissecting that frog! It smelt so bad and it had liquid oozing out of it the whole time!

My teacher did let us take pictures throughout the process so I got some really good ones. The skin of the frog was really rubbery and when we cut it, it was like cutting paper. Something really funny is that my group’s frog had a six pack once we cut it open.

Not only did we get to cut it open we had to break its jaw too! But a really cool thing, is that we are dissecting all this week and I’m going to get the chance to learn the anatomy of a cat through dissection. Tomorrow I am going to get to take all the organs out of the frog. I am really excited to get to do that because I want to see what the heart of a frog looks like. I am interested in it because I want to be a heart surgeon so I want to see how different the frogs heart is to a human one.

Traveling Elephant – Athens


20 Oct

The Traveling Elephant is a stuffed elephant that my boyfriend gave me during homecoming. I decided to take it with me on my trip and take pictures of it at the different places that I visited. It is turning out to be so much fun. One place that Peanut ( It’s name) has visited so far is Athens.


I loved visiting it because I got to see Zeus’s Temple! We also got to see statues of some of the greek gods!


Athens had such an amazing view. Peanut did not get her picture with the view in the background but I got the chance to.

We still have a little over a week to go till we go home. I am loving every minute that I am getting to spend seeing all of these amazing places. I do miss every one at home though a lot. Being in a foreign place really makes you appreciate home a lot more.

Jonathan Adler Happy Chic Birds in Blue


05 Sep

Barnes & Noble sells many different kinds of cases for the various Nooks. Some cases are even by designers such as Jonathan Adler. When I first saw the Happy Chic Birds in Blue case I was at Digital Family Summit. Barnes & Noble happened to be one of the sponsors, which I found to be completely awesome because I love Barnes & Noble. I got to see some of their new cases that they where coming out with yet hadn’t been announced to the public yet. Of course one of those cases happened to be the Birds in Blue. At the time I had just recently received my Nook Tablet so I was still using the case from my original Nook.

When I saw the Birds in Blue case I instantly knew that it was the case I was going to get. One thing that kinda stunk was having to wait until the case came out to the stores so I could go buy it. I had that feeling that you get when you are waiting for your favorite show to come back on TV or that movie to come out in theaters.

I love my Nook case, it is safe, durable and it is stylish. :) It also is not really bulky and its easy to hold when you are using your Nook.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Dog Days


04 Aug

A Teen's Review of Dog DaysThe new movie Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Dog Days has officially come out THIS WEEKEND! I was given a chance to attend an early showing of the movie earlier this week. The movie was extremely hilarious. I was laughing the whole time. I don’t want to tell you my favorite part because I don’t want to give anything away but it comes towards the end of the movie. This movie is great to take the whole family to see because let me tell you even parents are going to enjoy it, my mom was laughing just as much as my brother and sister was. I liked this one more than the last one because the actor that plays Greg Heffley had grown up some and he didn’t seem as much of a little kid.  Probably because I’m growing up with the movies since I remember reading the books when I was much younger.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Dog Days is all about Greg trying to have the best summer ever. Which means hanging out with the girl of his dreams and trying to get out of the “friend zone”. Of course a lot of other stuff happens as well like losing swim trunks in the pool, having fun at the country club, a tent catching fire and so much more. So if you are looking for a great family movie to go and see with the kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews, it is the perfect movie. Also remember I am 15 and loved the movie so it is not just for little kids.

Full Disclosure: I was given the chance to attend a screener complimentary for purposes of my review.

I received my learner permit!!!


27 Jul

Tuesday was my 15th birthday and to make that birthday perfect I got my permit!! I was so excited when I got it. I had to take two tests in driver’s ed on Monday before I could get my slip to get my permit. I made an 85 on one of them and an 100 on the other. After I got my permit my mom let me drive in the parking lot of our church, and I have to admit that I was not so good at it. :) I thought it was cool when I got my permit because I got to have my picture made and I also get a card in the mail in two to three weeks which I think is the coolest thing in the world.

I’m Speaking At Digital Family Summit


25 Jun

I’m getting the chance to speak at Digital Family Summit this weekend! This is such a great opportunity for me as a blogger. This is also my very first time speaking at a conference and only my second social media conference to attend. I am extremely nervous to speak because I have such bad stage fright. I am also really excited to attend Digital Family Summit because while it will be the second conference that I will be attending ever its focus is teens and family. I can’t wait to meet all the other teen bloggers that are going to be attending and speaking.


I'm Speaking at the Digital Family Summit

I am going to be taking the Write On! Writing Skills Workshop for Bloggers at the conference because I’m hoping that I will get to learn great new tips to improve my writing. I have never been to Philadelphia so I am looking forward to traveling there and getting to take the private tour to the Liberty Bell. That is going to be a great photo experience and a great blog post. I am flying to Philly and it’s going to be the first time that I have ever had a connection flight. My mom usually tries to get us on straight through flights since she doesn’t care for flying but that wasn’t a choice.  I am eager to ride on multiple airplanes!
