So, I have been thinking about New Year Resolutions that I could make, and I thought of lots of them.....

1. Read at least 3 books per month

2. Post on the blog at least once a week

3. Be an awesome big and little sister

4. Do school over summer, so I can be ahead (it is not that bad people)

5. Finish the Narnia series (books)

Now, those are just a few of the resolutions I wanted to share with you. :) Did you make any resolutions??

*Poor Emma has been stressing out over posting most of the posts on this blog, so this is my attempt of making a somewhat interesting/readable post, which in other words is saying it will probably bore you*

I suppose I should have been supportive of my brother and gone to his basketball game...but really, I was tired and basketball is not my thing. Fortunately, I am old enough to stay home alone. These are my five steps to fully enjoying a for-once peaceful and quiet house.


1. Make hot chocolate -- Swiss Miss is the best as long as you use water and never, ever milk


2.  Grab The Fellowship of the Ring and start reading before your brother gets home and steals it


3. Even though a quiet house is what you are always longing for, it'll still feel weird. Listen to some songs for a bit of background music -- might as well continue with the Lord of the Rings theme. (And seriously, "Concerning Hobbits" is a very relaxing song. Especially when you are trying to learn it on the piano and can hear it played correctly for once.)


4. Study for your story -- scouring baby name books/websites is a great way to spend the day, even if you eventually resort to making up your own names that fit the characters better. Writing down specifics about characters and doodling is fun too. :)

5. Write a blog post about what you did when you were home alone -- it's fun.
