Delish Jello Cookies

I was on Pinterest a few weeks ago and found these jello cookies. I loved the fun colors and thought that they were very summerish!! We made them yesterday and they are AWESOME!!!!!!!! The jello makes them cool colors but if you want more vibrant colors like the ones in the picture add food coloring. We only made blue raspberry and lime but I suggest those if you make them. The recipe calls for you to divide the batter into fourths for 4 different colors and flavors. But if you only make 2 colors and flavors like we did just divide the dough in half. You can do any flavor Jello but I do not suggest doing black raspberry just because of the dark color. Our cookies were pastels. One more thing is that the recipe says it makes 2 dozen. We didn't double it but i think we just made the dough balls smaller than we were supposed to because we got 4 dozen. So it depends on the size of your dough balls of how many cookies you get. I think ours are good sizes for cookies but you make however you want. One last thing is when you smash the dough balls i suggest using a bowl or a cup like it says to. We made half that way and half like peanut butter cookies with a fork. I know this shouldn't be true but the ones smashed by a bowl or a cup were better. I can't explain it but just do it!!
And Finally here is the Recipe!!!!

Falling in

Recently I just read Falling in. It is a great book that every kid should read! I love how it was narrated and I love the plot, although it got slow at the beginning. Isabelle gets sent to the principals office because she wasn't paying attention in class. She wasn't paying attention because she was listening to a buzzing noise that most people ignore.  When she is in the principals office, she sees a girl named Charlie Bender with a hurt ankle. So Isabelle goes to the closet to get things  to help Charlie's ankle. When she twist the door knob she falls in. What happens when she falls in? Will she get back out? Read th ebook to find out!!!!!

Polyvore!!

There is this really cool website called Polyvore and you can create outfits with clothes that already exist and if you like LOOOVVEE one piece you can buy it. I absolutely love the website check out one of my outfits! I especially love it!!!

Extremely Loud and Incredibly close

Okay so recently I saw the movie Extremely Loud and Incredibly CLose. It was really good but got sad. If you cry easily in movies and you want to see it I would recommend waiting till it is on dvd or read the book and then see it so then you will be prepared. I love everything about this movie!! It isn't scary and it isn't feel good happy family movie. Although it is a great movie that everyone should see!!

Cool Twisty hair do!!

Hi! THis is a blog where you will find a little bit of this and that!! So my first post will be on a hair do that I LOVVEEE!!!!! I love it because you can change it up so much and do just about anything with it!! This works best if you have a side part. It doesn't work very well if you have a center part so if you do have a center part you can either attempt it or change your part for this. So first grab a section of hair like shown. 

Then twist it back(or away from you) twice.

             

Then repeat until it is one and a half to two inches above your ear or wherever you like it!

Then just clip it in and you are done!!! Sometimes I like to put a flower over the barrette!! I hope you like it!!!!!
