I'm 14!

Today it's my birthday! Yea! I'm finally 14!!! Well anyway, I wanted to show you guys what I got! But I mostly asked for money. So ya, that's why I actually don't have to many "big" gifts.

 

I got this bag with my name on it from my Mom! I totally am in love with it!

 

 

Then today, she used her lunch break to go get this for me. Isn't that sweet! So I came home from just taking a super hard algebra test 10 minutes ago and found this delicious cupcake to calm my nerves!

 

That's basically all my mom got me. Besides a trip to New York and D.C. in May with my school... (that's part of my Christmas too)

 

I had a pretty good birthday overall... Besides the stupid math test! Curse math! Why was it invented?!? To kill 8th graders???

 

Love, Loren

 

P.S. the cupcake was from a local bakery thats only a 5 minute drive from my house to there. It's one of the yummiest placest in my city!



Dog Treats!

Last night my dogs ran out of treats for me to give them when they go into their pens when we leave the house. So I went through all of my dog recipes (I have quite a few...), and I found one I have never tried before. Its pretty easy with only a few ingredents. Here's the link to the website so I don't have to right out all the instructions. :D But here are a few pictures that I was able to snap while I made them.

 

 

 

Here's the dough. It was really icky feeling, espically since you have to mix it with your hands. :P

 

 Then here are the treats once they are done cooking!

 

 Abby ate her's in 2 bites!

 

Katies loved her's!

 And Max savored his. Or he was overwhelmed by the amount of peanut butter that was it in. Either way, he sure did love it.

 

And they were just begging for more treats after they got to taste-test them!

 

I can now safely say that these are their faviorites that I have made so far! Don't forget to check out the link for the actual recipe! Please comment if you have a pet, and if you love them enough to make them treats! Lol! I sure do! <3

Pretzels!!!

MMM! Today I made delicious pretzels! Yummy! Ok, so here are some pictures. I'm sorry that they aren't that pretty like Auntie Anne's pretzels, but it was so hard to make them! Oh and here's the link for the recipe! But anyways, here they are!

These are the ones that are covered in cinnamon sugar stuff and then on the right there are just some normal pretzels!

And here are the ones that are covered in garlic salt and butter. My mom said that they didn't taste to amazingly good, but that it was a start.

 

 

Oh, and I burnt some of them to but no biggie. :D So that's what I did one this cold Black Friday in Evansville, Indiana! And the pretzels are really good!

Bath Time for the Dogs!

Last night was my dog's birthday. And while She was sleeping on my lap, I noticed how aweful she smelled! So I gathered up all I had and gave all three of MY dog's a bath in ONE night!!! But unfortunaly, I didn't get any pictures of the birthday girl, Katie! :( But here are the other two dogs so hope you enjoy!

 

Max was so excited about getting a bath, he could barley stand it!

 

Then I added bubbles to his bath which I had never done before! But then he started eating them!

 Oh No!

 

Then he found that bubbles didn't taste very good, so then the rest of the bath was a huge bust!

 

Abby didn't really care about getting a bath or not, but she did like it when I turned on the cold water and then she could get a nice drink while I was washing her.

 

So now my dogs smell like a tropical breeze! I hope you had as much fun as I did on Wednesday night!

Love, Loren

Shopping!!!

     Ok, so a few weekends ago, I went shopping at a mall. I only bought a few things, but I saw a ton of cute things so I decided to take some pictures of them and post them on here. Now I finally have time to so here are my favorites of the week!

 

So this is an ombre sweater from Charlette Russe that I just loved, but I didn't have enough money for it, and my mom thought that I would never ever wear it again! Ugh!

I found this adorable deal at Forever 21 for only $10! The only reason why I didn't buy them was because I didn;t have a single thing that would match with them. Arg!

 



 

Then finally I found this little black dress at Khols for only $36! And it looked amazing on me. The reason why I didn't buy it was because my mother interfered with my love for clothes by saying that it was a bit too tight on me! UUUUUGH!!!!!

 

 

Well one day I will have the wardrobe of my dreams! One day! I wish all of you guys out there a Happy Thanksgiving and good luck Black Friday!
