Book in progress!

I am writing a book! It is a fictional book about a girl who lives in Dominican republic. I did that because it is where my mom grew up and it is my favorite place to travel to. I can't wait till it is published! I am publishing it through Amazon kindle. It will be a kindle e-book, and soon, I am going to try to make it a real book. Wish me luck!

Banana Muffins!

Hi guys! I am posting a lot today because I have some free time. So, today, me and my little brother made banana muffins! Yummy! They were soo good!

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 bananas, mashed
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup chocolate chips

 

It doesn't say what to do, so I will tell you what I did. 

 I put the bananas, butter, eggs, and sugar in one bowl. I put the rest in another bowl. While I was doing that, I preheated the oven to 350 degrees F.   when everything is mixed, Put both mixtures into the biggest bowl. (In my case it was the one with bananas in) Then add the chocolate chips and cook until they are golden, or stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean (If the toothpick only has chocolate chip on it, that is fine.)

 

I also added a secret ingredient: Vanilla Extract.

Can you read it? I made it like that so you could only read it if you really wanted to:)

Fun fact friday

Georgia O' Keeffe


Georgia O’Keeffe was born in 1887 in Wisconsin. She grew up on a farm where she helped her family by cooking, sewing, and growing vegetables.

When she was five, O’Keeffe went to school at a one-room schoolhouse. She didn’t like school but she did enjoy the private art lessons she took after school. She knew she wanted to be an artist.

O’Keeffe’s family moved to Virginia where O’Keeffe started high school. Everyone at her school loved her drawings.

After high school, O’Keeffe went to study at the Art Institute of Chicago. She enjoyed it there but she got very sick after only one year and had to stop going. When she finally felt better, over a year later, O’Keeffe decided to study in New York instead. In 1912, she began taking drawing classes at the University of Virginia. She learned to paint in many different styles before she developed her own way of painting.

Lego Birthday party!

Hey guys! I am back! Today's post is how to make an AWESOME birthday party! My brother gave me inspiration:
My brother is turning five in two days! He wants a LEGO party. (He is obsessed with Legos, and so am I.) Since I am the type of girl who loves to plan ahead of time, I immediately went to the computer for ideas. First, I looked for games. Here are some ideas. We are going to do number 7,10, 15, and maybe 21. I bought a Lego creator toy as the prize for #7. Then I went to look for decorations. I went to the Party City website. Unfortunately, they only had Lego star wars. I later found a website that said all you need for decorations, is yellow cups and a sharpie. you can draw a smiley face on the cups and they will be Lego minifigures. Then I wanted some sitting down activities. I could find anything. I went to The Lego chima website to play a game and found a Chima Party Kit. I printed the color pages, (WARNING! They use LOTS of ink.) and asked my mom about the garland. I didn't print the invitations because when we have a birthday, it is usually just family. Maybe friends if we play outside. I found these masks too.

That is how we are going to have a great birthday. I can't wait to set it up. I also got This for my brother. I can't wait to see the look on his face.

Bye! (You can wish happy birthday in the comments. I will give you a shout-out in my next post!)
