I'm Back!
I am so sorry that I have been away for so long! It is due to an unfortunate string of events, two weekends ago I had a Model UN conference in St. Louis so I couldn't blog. Then my laptop broke and was out of commission all of last week and I really hate blogging on my ipad. Finally over the weekend I got a concussion at my soccer game, so I was pretty much checked out.
I am feeling better and I really needed to blog since I have been gone for over a week! I have had one good blog worthy day since my last post, I went to an apple orchard! Me and three of my friends took the hour and a half drive out to an apple orchard on Friday ( I didn't have school). It was so much fun and we took a TON of pictures hear are some of them...
They see us rollin' hahaha
Me & Lauren (check out her blog)

Why Do I Love It When The Leaves Fall?
For as long as I can remember I have always loved it when the leaves change colors and begin to fall but this year everything about fall seems so much more magical. It might be because I am getting older so, fall just seems so beautiful and romantic (the falling leaves are probably the most romantic part of all). I read some where that the pheromone that makes the leaves change color is called ruska, I mean how much more adorable could that name be? The name for when the leaves fall is so rustic and it feels so fall-like. Anyway here are some pictures of my favorite thing...

Fall Uniform!
On a lot of blogs I have seen people posting their fall uniforms and I really enjoy seeing them so I made one. It is my ideal fall outfit! I love wear basic dark jeans, my hunters, a striped sweater (I want to buy this one in particular), a puffer vest and my Michael Kors watch. I got the watch for christmas last year and it is a fall staple for me!

Versatile Blogger Award
Thank you so much to Katelyn from Seersucker & Stripes to nominating me for the Versatile Blogger Award! I am so happy she nominated me, she is such a great person and blogger! I know I have been sort of random with my blog posts (I say this literally every post) but I am trying to do better I don't know how some bloggers can do it every single day!
Anyway, for this award you are supposed to give seven facts about yourself. This will be fun for both of us because you don't really know much about me! So lets dive in...
1. I have a HUGE family but only on my dad's side. He is one of 12 children (the llth kid to be exact) so I have 23 Aunts and Uncles and 48 first cousins! I love my entire family though and we see each other all of the time!
2. I been playing soccer since pre-school and club soccer since second grade!
3. I have played basically every single sport at one point in my life! Even Squash (with Newt Gingrich's granddaughter)!
4. My favorite color is yellow because of how happy it is :) I never wear it though
5. I am absolutely in love with Fall! The changing of leaves makes me so happy ahh it is perfect!
6. I know a TON of random fun facts that won't help me in life! Like did you know that, the crime rate in Quebec is the same as the crime rate in Disney World? How can I remember this?
7. I have a labradoodle named ginger! She was on the news when the president was trying to decide what kind of dog he wanted! #starstruck
The only person left to nominate is my friend who just started blogging oh and she changed her blog name again so now its Anchors, Pearls and Blonde Curls! Sorry I am only nominating one person but all of the blogs I read have already been nominated!

Pumpkin Cake!
Well the weekends over :( and I don't have Columbus Day off! What kind of world is this? Uggghh catholic school! Well anyway sorry about my mini rant, I have been either in my kitchen or on the soccer field for the entire weekend. I am feeling the joy (my new ketch-phrase Grays Anatomy shout out) and I made an awesome cake! It is two bundt cakes stacked on top of each other.
A little back story...
So I am a supper big baker and a few month ago I was looking through the food section of Pinterest when I stubbled upon a picture of a pumpkin cake. But, the most annoying thing about Pinterest happened and it brought me to tumblr so there wasn't a recipe! I was determined to make it work so, on Friday during french (I had a sub.) I spent the entire period doing research and I found a recipe for a bundt and for recipe, on two different blogs may I add.
The two bundts I made were apple cider donut bundts and the frosting was a maple cream cheese frosting. Here are my pictures of baking whoop whoop!
Setting up! I found a nifty Ipad holder yay!
mixing it up
first bundt done! Looks so yummy.
Final product!
Do you like my use of a gourd as a stem? hahaha
The recipe for the bundt: Apple Cider Donut Bundt
The frosting Recipe: Maple Cream Cheese Frosting (just the frosting part of the recipe)

Field Trip!
Hello everyone sorry I haven't been posting much things week I have had a lot going on! Anyway, yesterday some people from my school went on a field trip and it was only for Intigrated Science 2 so not everyone was there. We all got assigned different sites to go to and mine was called Camp Sagawa (I think that's how you spell it), it is a nature preserve sort of place were they have a bunch of different things like bird tagging and nature hikes. While there we did many different activites and got to cut down some trees (scary being near me when I have a saw #cluts)! My favorite part was a rock canyon they had! Take a look...
Hey guys! That is ancient coral!
I was so glad I wore my hunters!
I loved the way the leaves looked down there!

Hunting For a New Phone Case!
Well hello everyone! Since the phone case I currently have it tattered, beaten and well lets face it about to die, I am on the hunt for a new one. The one I currently have is from Ted Baker and my mom got it for free so its not like i'm all too sad to see it go. It a very floral case suited for more summer and spring than fall of winter so even if it wasn't about to fall apart I would probably still be getting another one. So here are some of the cases I have been considering, I would love to here your opinion!
(J.Crew)
Which is your favorite?
