Okay I swear it's a blizzard out there. Here are a few pictures I just took, of what it looks like outside my window:
I can't even see the road anymore. And I hope it stays this way. The tire to my mom's car is half way covered with snow. All I wanna do is curl up with Home for the Holidays and read and read. I want to eat a warm dinner and snuggle up in a blanket. I love snow. Do you? Comment below! Here are a few reasons why I am in love with winter:



Reason 1:

Picture
Christmas! I love getting presents and spending time with family! And with my grandmother's Christmas Eve feast, you really look forward to the holidays in my house!

reason 2:

Picture
Snowmen! I love making snowmen, because it takes a team effort to make it work, and I think winter and the holidays are all about working together and giving and teamwork and positive stuff like that.

reason 3:

Books! Some of the best books are set in the winter time! Here are a few
examples!

reason 4:

Picture
New Year's Eve! I love staying up late, even though I do it almost every weekend night. Counting in the new year is always a good time, especially because it's the only night I'm allowed to drink pop!

reason 6:

Picture
Putting up the Christmas tree! I love hanging ornaments from the branches, remembering when we had got them and who they belong to.

reason 7:

Picture
Snow days! I don't like going to school very much, so snow days are the best!

reason 8:

Picture
Inspiration! For a fellow writer, winter brings great inspiration! Watching the flurries outside the window, you get so many great story ideas!

reason 9:

Picture
Hot chocolate! I love drinking it! And drinking it in the summer would just be weird!

reason 10:

Picture
Curling up with a book and just chilling! I love doing that!



Hope you've enjoyed this post! I worked hard on it! What are your top 10 things to do in winter? Comment below!

Oh, great it's snowing. I don't mind full-out snowstorms (ya know, ya get to stay home!) but little flurries can sometimes get in the way. I'm currently reading The Mother-Daughter Book Club Book 5 Home for the Holidays and it's really good. I don't remember any snowstorms, but I do know when I was in kindergarten we had a snow day. But anyways, each daily post, I will be doing a few things. So here are the things I'm going to be doing:

1) Song of the Day
2) Quote of the Day
3) Book of the Day
4) Daily to do list

I might add stuff later on, but here's what I've got so far.

song of the day:

Picture
Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen. Justin Bieber loved this song and said that he felt the same way when he met Selena Gomez, his GF. If you want to see the music video, click the first link. If you want to see the lyrics, click the second link.

quote of the day:

Picture
Never give up, keep trying until you get it. You might not know it at first, but soon you will. Keep trying and never give up on what you believe in!










book of the day:

Picture
I read this book 4 times. The last three times, I couldn't get through the last two chapters. It was a really sad book, but I loved it and I think you will too. I cried at the end, but laughed in the first part of the book. John Grogan creates a mixture of laughs and cries and as you flip each page of the book, Marley will make you laugh 'till you get hiccups.

daily to do list: (how to participate!)

First let me tell you what this is about, and how you can participate in it! So, each day, I will make a list of some things that I think are appropriate for that day's weather and what not. If you complete all the challenges, you get a shout-out in the next post. Just comment below and tell me all the things you did and then I'll look them over! So here is today's list.




daily to do list:

1) Read a chapter of a novel

2) Play a board game

3) Go outside in the snow

4) Watch a movie

Hope you can participate :) 





So that is basically how this blog is gonna work. Hope you enjoyed it :) Oh and you can ask me questions in the comments and I'll answer in the next post! Bye, my lovely friend

The quote I live by:
If I win, I say In your face,
If I lose, I say I never tried
-Me
Some other quotes I've enjoyed:

These next two reminded me of when summer bumped her head and me and Michaela were laughing and then we saw she wasn't and were like "ah, crap"

There are so many more, but those are a few of my favs!

So like me and Michaela were IMing and then I ask her if we should actually make this site. She says yes so we're all like planning it and then well...here it is! So one little idea could turn into something big. Michaela (or as I like to call her Mickey) was totally in. I don't have a nickname :( I really want one, but what can you make out of a three letter name. I've always hated my name. HATE! I would trade my name for Michaela any day. My aunt named me, but seriously, I think she could have come up with a better name. My mom was going to name me Melina, but my aunt wanted Mya, so...yeah. I personally dislike both, but what if they named me something like Gertrude or Whilimeina. I would absolutely DIE!  So anyways, read my other posts!
