It’s been so long!

 Hi Everyone!

It has been SO LONG since we’ve wrote anything! I promise I’ll be better now that life has calmed down (can’t say anything for Naomi though ;)  )

This summer has been hectic! Naomi was on a new trip visiting family almost every week, and I was busy with horses, my job, babysitting, and lots of travel! 



Me and Naomi did have one trip where we got to stay together! We stayed at Henderson Harbor in Upstate New York off of Lake Ontario for two weeks with some New York friends! 

The trip was amazing and fun-stuffed! On the lake we went swimming in the lake almost everyday, 




we went tubing behind the Sea Doo Watercraft, took rides on the Sea Doo where we got past 50 mph, 



paddle boarded, did henna, and took fun jumping photos off the dock! 





Oh, and we found this creepy horse that became our mascot for the week 🤣



Aside from vacations, I have been super busy riding! As you all know, I was going over small cross rails on Vegas, then he bucked me off so my confidence was set back. But after I got my confidence back on him, my trainer switched me to a little mare named Dot. She is… crazy. I love her to the moon and back 🥰
She isn’t really trained to jump, and she in one of the younger lesson horses, so she is going to be a much more difficult ride than Vegas ever was. She is also more spooky than a lot of horses I’ve rode. So far though we’ve been all good. Her canter is a little insane, but in an adrenaline-rush-oh-my-gosh-I-love-this way. We just recently started cantering over ground poles, which she jumps like it’s about a foot higher than it is, and it’s so crazy and fun. She’s a really small horse, but not a pony. She still somehow is big enough for my leg though, when normally I need about 16.3 or bigger.
Dot is a chestnut paint (solid with a white spot on her right side of her stomach), with a mostly white face. She has these funny eyes that show a lot of white, so she looks pretty dumb and adorably silly 🙃. I call her princess piggy ❤️





That’s all for today, 

bye,

Amelia

 Hello! We are starting a new series - the 30 day challenge. Every day for 30 days we will post following this schedule -  I got this idea from Annika Lorraine  (click the link to check out her blog!!) Make sure you check out her 30 day challenge as well :) Day 1 - Write ten facts about you!  -   I used to own a pet hedgehog named Boo - unfortunately he died just over a year ago  -  I published a book through NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) when I was 9. It has an ISBN number, but it isn’t for sale anywhere - I own the only two copies that exist  I do ballet, and have done it for most of my life. My favorite role was Clara in the Nutcracker (!!!) - I didn’t get a dog until I was almost 11 - we got Luna Rae in March of 2019 and I love her so so so so much! She is already 2!!!  -  I’ve been to 36+ states!

Naomi’s Easy Gluten Free Cookies

-
Ok, so sorry Amelia, but Naomi has a cookie recipe TO DIE FOR that actually DOES NOT include flour! I know, right? (its a lot easier then Amelia's, too.) So they are technically gluten-free, but you heard it from me you seriously will not be able to tell the difference. Let’s get baking! (hey, amelia here. just saying if you love the taste of cookie dough, my cookies taste like that but are healthier and slightly different) Ingredients: 1 cup peanut butter  🥜 🧈 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1 cup choc. chips Preheat the oven to 350 degrees   Fahrenheit. Mix the first 5 ingredients with a wooden spoon an add choc chips.  Get hands damp so no dough sticks to your hands. Get a baking sheet. Make small balls (as large as you want the cookies to be since these don’t spread as they bake as much as regular) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PARCHMENT PAPER UNDERNEATH!  Then, put them in the oven until golden brown (about 18-20 minutes). Enjoy! Please comment dow
