My Souvenirs from Disneyland

Hey everyone! Long time no see! I've been super busy with school and then later, fun summer activities and I just haven't had as much time for blogging. But don't worry - I'll keep posting every chance I get!

A few months ago, my family and I went to Disneyland. We had such a great time in California, and although I don't have any pictures from my trip to show you, I can show you all the neat souvenirs I brought home!

First, you can see I got to go to AG Place LA. It was HUGE! I got this shirt to commemorate that part of my visit.

Next, you can see my awesome Pluto hat! He's my favorite character.

I also got some Tsum Tsums! They are little plush toys in the shape of different Disney characters. I got Marie, Berlioz, and Toulouse from the Aristocats. Aren't they adorable?

My favorite Pixar movies are the Toy Story movies, with the third being my absolute favorite, so when I found Lotso (and he smells like strawberries!), I just had to get him.

He's my little snuggle buddy!

Every time I go on vacation, I like to get a few sweets to save for when I get back home. I find it helps me battle what us Disnerds call PDD, or Post-Disney Depression!

These Mickey crispy treats are just what I need!

Lastly, I got this awesome shirt that commemorates the Diamond Celebration going on at Disneyland for its 60th anniversary! That's such a long time.

I can't wait to wear it!

As with any vacation, the feeling of coming home to your pets and your room is the best feeling ever!

Have you ever been on vacation?

Olive Taylor's Fashion Show

Hey everyone!

Olive Taylor here doing a guest post! This week, I modeled some outfits for Charlie and she took pictures. I tried on an outfit that I'd wear to perform in (I love to sing!), and a red-carpet-ready elegant gown!

What do you think of my outfits?

My Valentine

Greetings!

Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. Everything is covered in red, pink, and purple hearts and chocolate is plentiful!

This year, I had an unexpected guest on Valentine's Day - my friend Julian! He is my best friend Harper's little brother.

He brought over a balloon and lots of cookies and a banner and a conversation heart pillow!

"Thank you, Julian!" I said. "These are awesome!"

"You're welcome, Charlie," Julian replied. "Actually, Charlie, I have something to ask you."

"What is it?" I asked, getting a little weirded out when he leaned in too close.

"Will you be my Valentine?" he whispered.

"Of course I will!" I replied.

"Okaythanksbye!" Julian said quickly, handing me the balloon and heading for the door and out of the house.

"That was weird but cute, I guess," I said to myself. "That's the first time I've been asked to be someone's Valentine! Awesome!"

Have you ever had a Valentine on Valentine's Day?

Zinnia Changes Her Hair... Again!

Hello everyone! I don't know about you but I for one am looking forward to spring! With all the snow on the ground half-melted, life seems so dull and colorless. Leave it to Zinnia to brighten things up!

As you saw on my last post, Zinnia had pink hair. She decided it was time for a change and went for rainbow!

I love it! It really makes things seem less dull until springtime comes to revive everything again.

Have you ever colored your hair?

Blowing in the Wind

Happy New Year, everyone!

The last few months I've felt change in the wind - maybe that's because I've met a lot of new friends at school, and some of my old friends are changing their look, or moving away. But that's okay! Change can be a really good thing. Take, for instance, me meeting my new friend Lila! 

I met Lila at the dog park one day when I was walking River and Rory - it turns out Lila volunteers for the local animal shelter and she was walking several dogs at once! Lila loves animals and wants to be a vet someday. She has many pets - I should take some pictures of her with all of them sometime!

Lila also loves science, reading, and fashion. She's quiet and reserved.

Then, as some of you may know, my friend Bianca moved away. Her family decided to move to the east coast for her father's business. I was really sad when she moved away but we keep in touch online, so I'm not so sad about it anymore. I took some pictures of her before she left.

Bianca introduced me to her cousin Cristela who still lives here. I can't wait to introduce you all to her in a few weeks!

Lastly, I made a new friend at school - her name is Zinnia. Zinnia is kind of a wild child - fun, spontaneous, and a rule bender or sure!

Zinnia's Mom lets her dye her hair pink - isn't that cool?! But, she says she has to dye it once a week to keep it looking nice. No, thank you! I'll stick to my highlights.

Zinnia loves loud rock music and is very vocal about her opinion but she is also good at school and like, nice to old people and stuff. Don't let the pink hair fool you - she's one of a kind!

Oh, and actually lastly, my friend Olive Taylor changed her look yet again! This time she got a bob. What do you think of it?

If you like Olive Taylor's look, you can buy her look-alike in my Etsy shop here: Buy Olive Taylor on ETSY!

So, it's been a pretty busy fall for me with friends coming and going and changing and whatnot. Have you met any new friends lately?
