Mom and Daughter Day!

My mom and I are going to start a Mom and Daughter Day, which we plan to have at least once a year. We're hoping to go on our first one on March 8th (Saturday) and stay over night until March 9th. We are staying in a hotel in Minnesota. Mom hasn't told me everything that we're going to do yet, because ''It's a surprise''.  So far, all I know is the date and that we are going to go to Mall of America, where the American Girl Doll store is so I should bring Katie (my AG doll), that we might get a manicure and a pedicure, and when she told me the last thing we are going to do, I almost fainted! We are going to Cupcake!!! O.K. I bet about 99% of you have absolutely no idea what Cupcake is. Cupcake is a bakery in Minnesota, and is owned by my all-time favorite-est baker in the whole, wide world, Kevin VanDeraa who is a Cupcake Wars Champion! I'm going to bring a pen and paper with me and ask if I can have his autograph! I'm going to try Mint Chocolate Chip, Cookies 'n' Cream, Triple Chocolate and S'more. I'm SOOO excited! (Go to www.cup-cake.com to view Kevin's cupcakes).

All About Me!

My name is Zoë. I'm 9 years old and in 3rd grade in Wisconsin. I have a brother in 5th grade, John. My mom, Noelle works at a church and my dad,  works at a telecom company. My favorite colors are yellow and orange. I have three cats, Phineas, Ferb and Girly-Girl (she's almost 15), one King Charles Spaniel mix, Charlie, and my very own Chinese Dwarf hamster, Hammy. I hope to become a pastry chef and work at Cupcake in Minnesota. My favorite books are Cupcake Diaries by Coco Simon and Sew Zoey by Chloe Taylor. My hobby's include doing crafts, reading, writing my new book called The Sisters of New York, baking with my grandma (practicing for my dream!), and blogging (of course!). My favorite singers are Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. In school I participate in Girl Scouts and Student Council. I am a HUGE Cupcake Wars fan(the owner of Cupcake won Cupcake Wars a couple times). My favorite songs are Say Something by Christina  Aguilera and A Great Big World, Roar by Katy Perry and much more!
   

Xoxo, Zoë                       

Cozy Cups: Use an Old Sock to make a Cool Container.

For this project you will need: A clean jar (I used a Smucker's  peanut butter jar), and a colorful old sock.

Turn the jar upside down. Stretch the sock over the jar, with the top of the sock covering the opening of the jar. Cut the sock so that there's still a little bit on the bottom of the jar(enough to not see the glass). Set it on your desk or by your bed. Store art supplies, hair ties, or other little knick-knacks in your new colorful jar. Cute!

Xoxo, Zoë

Make sure to clean  it, though! 

So Pretty!!

    

I got this craft idea from an American Girl magazine.
