16 Going on 17

My sister's 16th birthday was the other day. So now I can officially sing the 16 going on 17 song to her. I made sure to tell everyone that was her age that, she's 16 now, so she can go on dates. My parents aren't too thrilled about this new development in her life. Ha!

For her birthday, she got a curling iron and a straightener. She realized just a little bit ago that when I leave, my straightener will leave with me, so she needs one of her own. And I guess she just want's a curling iron. She asked me if it was the right kind to which I replied, I don't know. Hi! I have naturally curly hair. I don't know how to use a curling iron. I hope the day never comes that I have to learn how to use one, because then I'm screwed. I tried curling her hair for her. It didn't turn out so pretty.

In honor of her birthday/I was cleaning my room and didn't know where to put them, I covered her bed in squishy pony stickers. Then we spent a good ten minutes poking them and giggling hysterically.

She didn't want a cake for her birthday, she wanted a cookie. But not any cookie. Nope. She needed a five pound cookie. Whatever floats your boat sis! I couldn't find my camera last night when my mom was serving up the cookie with a pizza cutter, so that's why pieces are missing. In case you were wondering.

I hope my sister doesn't make near as many stupid mistakes as I did when I was 16. But then again, she's a lot smarter than I was then, so I'm sure she won't. In any case, here's some tips 16 year old!
1. Boys are stupid
2. Just because you're 16 doesn't mean they will ask you on dates
3. Even if they ask you on a date, you don't have to go
4. Never go on blind dates. Ever. When you're 16 that is. I know that's how our parents met and all, but boys are creepy now.
5. If boys write you 5 page love letters declaring their undying love for you, RUN. AWAY. 
6. Don't drive friends in the car until you've had your license long enough. They're probably just taking advantage of your new driving skills.
7. The parents are usually right. Unless they say you can't watch the Office. That is a great show, and I give you permission to watch it.
8. Boys are stupid. Especially of the 16 year old variety.
9. Don't do things just so you can be a rebel. Please note all my scary movie experiences
10. Did I mention boys are stupid?
11. You're going to need friends to get through high school. But the right kind of friends.
12. Don't stop doing anything you love.
13. Have fun!
14. Kissing is gross if it doesn't mean anything.
15. 16 year olds don't deserve to be kissed ;)
16. Remember I'll always be there for you, and I'm pretty much the best sister you're ever going to get. 

The End. Happy Birthday Brinley! :)

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
