10 Unknown Facts About Me!


Yes, anyone who reads my blog regularly can easily see certain things about me. That I live on a little farm, enjoy performing, and that I am a total nuthead! But there are alot more things about me that none of you know!

1. I used to have a doll blog when I was younger, under a fake name. It had 100 followers and I was 10 years old!

2. I LOVE riding my bike, and ride almost every day.

3. I shoot guns and bows alot. I am actually a really good shot. In fact my dad and I just went shooting yesterday!

4. I REALLY REALLY REEEAAALLY want to get Norwegian Dwarf goats for milking. REALLY BADLY!!

5. My family is actually not so well off, money wise. My dad fixes commercial refrigeration. Let's just say, we have to be wise with our money.

6. I want to learn the banjo, and I am wanting to start learning in 2016. Which will give me 1 year more of guitar lessons!

7. My favorite animal is a goat, but I also really like pigs! (especially the cute little pocket ones!)

8. I LOVE HISTORY! Especially the American Revolution and the 50's!

9. I am a really big star wars fan! I sewed myself a princess leia costume for Halloween one year with the help of my nana!

10. I write music sometimes, and my dad used to be in a band. There was a song he wrote, and I thought it was a song someone famous wrote. His band was good though.

Anticipations a killer!

Last year, I went to the Mother Earth News Fair! I enjoyed it so much! I will be going this spring as well and I can't wait for it!! I was looking at some old pictures from last year! For those of you unfamiliar with it, the Mother Earth News Fair is a community of homesteaders, farmers, builders, and people who keep livestock. As well as people who want to! The fair has workshops and programs that teach you about seed saving, raising chickens, beekeeping, growing crops, shed building, and almost anything else you can imagine that has to do with sustainable living! They also have alot of organic foods (PLUS TASTE TESTS!) and for entertainment they have clogging and groups of musicians! It's great fun! They also have an area with animals! Here is a beautiful horse that was there last year! It had beautiful blue eyes!




Here I am sitting in a tractor! They have lots of tractors you can study and sit in, which is lots of fun for a kid!


They also had the wood mizers! They were actually building a real shed throughout the day so that you could watch the process! Here they were creating the boards from the logs!

A really old and bad picture of me!
These were the logs before!


Then they were cut into boards right in front of our eyes!!


Sadly I never got a picture of the finished building but it was really cool!! These were just a few of the awesome things that happen at the fair!! I cannot wait to go this year, my parents have already bought the tickets, but KIDS GET IN FREE! You can see if the fair will be near you! Go HERE!!
Have a super duper, awesomely swankified day!
