Happy New Year!

As the New Year comes, I will be doing some renovations to the site, so sorry for the inconvenience! My 6 New Year's Resolutions are:

1. Keep my room entirely clean
2. Keep my closet entirely clean
3. Keep my bathroom entirely clean
4. Make sure that I do not treat my sisters unkindly
5. Make sure that I treat my parents with respect
6. Exercise at least 3 days of each week.
7. Go further in my walk with Jesus

What are your New Year's resolutions? Tell me by posting a comment, and have a great New Year! P.S: Make sure you watch Taylor Swift on A Rocking New Year at 9/10 CT :D

SSA (Super Secret Angels)

I'm sure all my followers have seen the SSA badge that I have recently posted to my sidebar and have said to themselves, "Huh?" and scratched their heads. Scratch your heads no more, loyal readers, because here is the explanation. SSA (a.k.a Super Secret Angels) is for girls ages 12 to 22 where they have monthly sessions and you get assigned another girl to pray for, to send gifts and letters to, and leave a comment encouraging them on the site signed "From Your SSA". The girl that you are assigned has no idea who you are, which makes it sound like mucho fun! I like the idea of Christian girls being able to send prayers and gifts to other girls like them anonymously. Unfortunately, I only found out about it after this month's session started, so I have to wait until February to join. *Sigh* And at the end of the month, you reveal yourself to your recipient. Meanwhile, you have your own SSA! Here is the form that you can fill out and email to Amanda Dixon, the founder and manager of the group. Her email is: supersecretangels@yahoo.com

Home Educator Nomination

I am nominating our family to win the award, mostly my mom! I appreciate my mom teaching us because she is amazing to be able to deal with all of our curricula. She takes good care of us, and even though I do not like to do the chores she assigns me, I try to do them with a cheerful heart, because I know God would like that, and also because I love my mom! Even when I am grumpy and she is trying to teach me math (Not a good subject on my part), she is persistent and patient. Our family has home schooled for 12 years, and I believe my mother has done a tremendous job, considering the amount of effort she puts into our education. We are not only learning academics, but also life skills (as in how to not burn ourselves taking baked goods out of the oven, etc!) My two sisters and I have a great teacher in mom, and we are very proud of her and how we are homeschooled. I just hope that someday, I can be as neat and good at teaching as my mom.
