My Mini-Me

This is my American Girl doll. Her name is Avery. I wished for her for Christmas. She is a very special doll. Her hair, skin, and eye color is the same as mine. I love to try new out fits on her and style her hair. Her best friends, Taryn and Alexi live on Salt Spring Island. Our dolls like to get together for sleep over's. My mom told me not to color my doll's face or cut her hair like she did with her dolls when she was little. Do you have a favorite doll or toy you like to play with?

 

Pimples the Piggy

This is my piggy named Pimples. My best friends Sarah and Olivia gave him to me for my 9th birthday. I remember the day Pimples came to live with me, all of my friends wanted to play with him. He is still very popular when I have play dates. I love him because he's full of beans, very cute, pink, soft, hand made, the most comfiest thing to sleep with and he has big beautiful blue eyes. Pimples is also very special to me because my BFF's picked him out just for me! His tail has a wire inside so you can make it go curly. He spends most of his time on my bed waiting for me to go to sleep.

Ham in a Bucket

This is my hamster, "Cupcakes". My mommy's friend bought her for me. My mom was soooo mad at first. Now my mom loves Cupcakes just as much as I do. She's even softer than my dog. I love to dress her up and take pictures of her. She has her own sports car. In the summer I take her outside to let her run around in the grass. She is  super fast and I have to watch her very carefully or she would get lost for sure. I love my ham ham so much!

Puppy Love

This is my dog. His name is Dawson. He is an American Eskimo. His fur is silky and soft. He loves to eat carrots, toilet paper, doggie treats and cheese but mostly he just gets kibble. My dog is almost 15 years old. He is very grumpy with children he doesn't know, he tried to eat the paper boy once. He loves going everywhere we go, especially to the beach.

Baking Banana Bread

One of my favorite things to do is bake. Today when I came home after school I made banana bread. I shared it with my family and they all really liked it. Here is the recipe:

Banana Bread

• 1 cup spelt flour
• 3/4 cup unbleached white flour
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
• 3/4 cup organic cane sugar
• 2 mashed bananas    

 

~Sift dry ingredients. Cream sugar and butter until light and creamy. Add bananas. Combine to dry ingredients until just blended.

 

Bake: 350 degrees for 45-60 min.
