I’d like to make a short announcement that I am in fact returning to the blogging world, but I will not be posting here anymore.
Instead, I am launching a new blog, which I would love if you saved the date in your calendar for its release, which will be on the 13th of this month.
This won’t be a lifestyle blog, or poetry blog, or fan blog, or art blog. It’s more of a journaling blog I guess? It’s a puking my feelings out onto a blog post-type blog.
It will be private, so if you’d like to follow just comment below and I’ll invite you.
I think that’s all you need to know for now, but I will be making one last post on Middle Mary on its release date.
If you have any questions feel free to comment below.
Two weeks ago I asked y’all for Assumptions About Me, and I was not disappointed! I’m so excited to answer them, they were really good and some of them were hilarious!
-Your favorite series is Chasing the Falconers– Actually, *hair flip* its Keeper of the Lost Cities! Its the best book series ever! Its sorta phenomenal if you ask me.
-You hate it when people interrupt you to ask what you’re reading– If my younger siblings interrupt me, then yes. Prepare to die *not really*, but if it’s literally anyone else, then no. I do all my reading in my room, so this doesn’t happen often.
-You love Strawberry Milkshakes– I do! Those are the best kind! I’d have to say Sonic has the best Strawberry Milkshakes!
-You’re a bookworm– Well, I like to read! Maybe you could call me a bookworm, but I’m not like, Avid or anything. (Yes I know y’all are all *???* right now, but I’m having an identity crisis. Not really but it feels like it 😂😂😂)
💛 FROM EVIN;
-You prefer coffee over tea– I hate coffee. Give me sweet tea any day of the week. I will not let my lips even touch coffee. (Thats weird but thats how much I hate Coffee.)
-You hate mustard– … Yeah. I’ve learned to live with it though. Unlike coffee.😂
-Pepperoni is your favourite pizza topping?– Actually, it’s pineapple! I’d rather pineapple than pepperoni! (Don’t come at me…)
–You don’t like listening to classical music.– Actually, I do! And it kind of annoys my family… 😂
-You like Marvel Movies.– I’ve never seen one! I’m thinking about watching Captain America though! I like WandaVision a LOT, and it might be my favorite Disney Plus series!
-You don’t like painting your nails.– True! But I like painting my toenails!
–You like PB & Js– I do! Especially with strawberry jam!
–You don’t like neon green– I actually hate it! 😅 Its repulsive… Unflattering… And overall just kind of an ugly color.
–You love KotLC– This is true! I adore Keeper of the Lost Cities!!!
-You don’t like wearing makeup– Untrue! I love wearing makeup! I wish a had a bigger collection… 😕
💛FROM TORI W. ;
-you love sour candy– I like sour candy. I don’t like lemon heads or anything, but I like sour candy. I’ll count this as true!
-you despise shopping- Woah now, this is totally wrongggggg! I love shopping! I could do it all day everyday
-you’re a neat freak- Uhhh sorta! I’d like to say I am, but when it comes to my own bedroom I kind of slack a bit with that! But I usually like things to be neat and tidy!
-you usually read fiction- Yes! I don’t really pick up books based on true stories! But I do love ‘Who Was’ biographies!
-You hated the ending of Unlocked– I cried. It was bittersweet. Bitter cause you know, that happened. Sweet because Keefe is going to be awestruck by that place.😉😉
-Your favorite character in KOTLC is Keefe– …duh.😂😂
-Your favorite animal is a horse-Eh. Not really. (Ironic right?) I’ve got lots of favorite animals but right now its an Otter. 🥰
–You’re crazy excitedly/scared about the KotLC movies being made?– Yeah! I think it’ll be just fine, as Shannon Messenger did approve the Director, and I trust Shannon Messenger to make the right decision.
–
Thank y’all so much for submitting all of these WONDERFUL assumptions, and if you didn’t, thanks for reading! Every view counts!
Also, I am taking post requests in the comments below, so If you have any questions about blogging that you would like me to make a post about, I will be sure to check it out!
Anyway, a little life update, I got a power chain for my braces! Its kind of painful, (just a little bit…) but it totally does not last too long, so if you have braces and your Orthodontist told you that you need a power chain, don’t be too scared! It hurts a little bit putting it on, but it doesn’t last very long.
And my book reading has been going slow… I returned two books because they were formatted weird, and i kind of didn’t like that…😅😅 If you’re wondering which books I returned, it was Before the Ever After (I was really sad because I liked the plot, but it was written in poems…?) and The Ambrose Deception. (You’d have to read it to understand). But I need some help deciding which book to read next! If you want to vote on which one I should read next, feel free to go to this post, and then comment below and vote! I already read Zero Tolerance and oh my gosh, if you like reading, do yourself a favor and read this AMAZING book!
I recently saw a blog post that was titled 5 Things Bloggers Love, (link below) and I thought it was super good, but also I felt that there was more to say, so here I am. ✨
I also feel like the points where geared towards more professional bloggers than bloggers who do it for fun. So let’s hop into it- and non-bloggers, pay attention! Haha!
✨💛✨
-leave a long comment💌-
Guys, If you want to make any blogger’s day 100% times better, leave a long, detailed comment telling us everything you liked about the post. If you really enjoyed the post, don’t just say, “Great post!” Which gets old or seeing that 12 times a post on average, you could leave that blog post sized comment. 😂😂😂 I’ve seen this once or twice where it was a literal blog post in the comment section.
-comment on pages💌-
Ooh this never gets old. Anytime I see a random comment on my pages, it’s makes me so happy to know people are actually on my site! 💛💛 Case closed right?
– tell us how ✨beautiful✨ our blog design looks-
Yasss this makes my week, quite possibly my month! So if you know a blogger who’s having a hard time, just shoot them and email! Tell them their blog is awesome and beautiful, they will always love it!
-Rough Feedback💌-
This may not be for everyone, but if I ever get any harsh feedback, it helps so much! Other then “You blog is perfect!” it would help to say, “ I think your post should have more length, and to use more proper grammar like ‘though’ instead of ‘tho’” Always helps! The last thing with this point is don’t be mean about it. “Your grammar is awful, try using real words…😒” is not helpful! It’s more so discouraging than helpful.
-showing full support 💌💛-
Being a blogger is flat out hard sometimes, like getting out blog posts often, dealing with drama, trying to gain more followers, (it doesn’t happen over night, even though it seems like it a lot) or even just having the motivation. And it makes it a lot harder thinking people could care less if they quit. (I’ve had these thoughts before!) but if you tell them to keep blogging and that they should never quit cause they’re awesome etc, it will be so easy to keep motivation, and to keep going! Support is basically what powers a blogger! So be generous with it! 👐✨
✨💛✨
Thanks for reading this post, and be sure to tell me if I missed anything, or what makes your day as a blogger!
And a huge thank you to everyone who reads and likes my posts, even simple likes just lets me know you care! 🥰 I promise I will ✨try✨ to keep a steady schedule this year!

Recently I bought a couple of books from a nearby bookstore, and then a couple of days ago I got five books from the library. I have nine books to read.
In a month.
I do like to call myself a speedy reader, but last month I didn’t read any books, so going from zero books to nine books is a big leap.
My monthly resolution is to read more books I guess.
( forget staying hydrated; books are the water for the soul! )
Anyway, since today is Monday and I’m out of my regular posting schedule, Wednesday’s post is going to be titled 5 things bloggers love, which I’m super excited for.
Stay tuned I guess!
I’m 30 Chapters into Zero Tolerance! It’s pretty good!
List of Books I got (from top to bottom!)✨📚
Percy Jackson; THE LAST OLYMPIAN; Rick Riordan
LOOT; Jude Watson
WOOF; A Bowser and Birdie Novel; Spencer Quinn
Zero Tolerance; Claudia Mills
You Go First; Erin Entrada Kelly
Before the Ever After; Jacqueline Woodson
PARKED; Danielle Svetcov
The Ambrose Deception; Emily Ecton
The Twinkie Squad; Gordon Kormam
Thanks for reading! And if you e read any of these books, or if you have any reading goals this month, do tell! 📚💛
So I think I’ve done this maybe two times now?? Or once. I think I’ve done this once, but I really enjoyed it so I thought you know, why not?
You guys know how this works, and for those of you who are still clueless, basically all you have to di is leave a very oddly specific question, I guess. Like, “ you hate sushi?” or “you don’t like mayonnaise?” and if it’s true, great job! If it’s not, thank you for your efforts. 😂
Honestly I’ll accept any question, unless it has something do with where I live or my last name. Cause you know, basic ✨boundaries.✨
So feel free to leave them in the comments! 📩
And also, tell me who your favorite author is! Mine would have to be Cynthia Lord, Gordon Korman, or Dandi Daley Mackall!📚💛
Let’s pretend that I didn’t forget the last two parts of that Christmas thing. After all it is the last days of February.
Has it really been that long? Yes. Did I miss it? Ha, no. 😅
I’m not saying I don’t miss my friends on here, cause I did.
I just didn’t miss the uhhh perfection and the try-hards because that tires me out. Its mentally exhausting for that to pop up on my WordPress feed.
But hey, I have been reading all of your posts on my ✨phone. ✨
Moving on, I honestly want to know what you want to see. I don’t mean crafts or organization tips or recipes. I mean raw, what you actually want to see. I want to see the perfectionists show imperfection. That’s what I want to see. I want to see what you do when no ones watching?
What do I do when no ones watching? I put on a concert for the shampoo bottles. If you know what I mean.
( hey Mawmaw! 👋)
Betcha didn’t know I moved into I new room! I’d take a picture but it’s a wreck.
I also bet you didn’t know I’m listening to Thumbs by Sabrina Carpenter. (Hey Mom! 😘)
I also have three seasons of Full House. Oh yeah, on DVD.
Why am I telling you all this? I have no idea. I’m turning 15 this year and whenever I started this blog, I’m pretty sure I was 12 and I’d like to think I’ve changed since then.
I also think I’ll be letting go of Forever American GOrl. ( no I’m not changing that typo bc it’s hilarious)
I’m going to close out this post with a reminder to tell me what you want to see.
I’m not talking a day in the life here, again.
No signoff,
Mary Elizabeth
I can tell I’m going to immensely regret posting this.
On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Ten lords a-leaping Nine ladies dancing Eight maids a-milking Seven swans a-swimming Six geese a-laying Five golden rings Four calling birds Three french hens Two turtle doves, and A partridge in a pear tree
the tenth day of Christmas
Hey everyone!
So the last nine posts I all had scheduled, but then I realized I had forgotten a post that I meant to write after I took a break, so here I am.
Anyway, first I have to explain the concept of this post.
First things first, I will give you two options. Such as, Hot Chocolate or Eggnog. You could pick Chocolate Milk or Eggnog, and then comment your answer down below. I’ll also be answering the questions. 😉
Have fun!
❄
Shopping for Presents or Wrapping Presents?
I’m going to have to say shopping! Although I love wrapping presents, I’d rather shop for them!
Hot Chocolate or Eggnog?
I love this one because one is hot and one is cold. But for some reason a lot of people don’t like eggnog because it requires a special taste to enjoy. And sometimes Hot Chocolate is too hot for me and I have to wait to drink it. I’m going to have to go with eggnog!
Baking Cookies or Making Gingerbread Houses?
Hmmmmm… I’m going to have to say gingerbread houses. Probably because you really don’t have to bake anything if you get a kit from the store, and there’s only so much you can do with cookies, but you have so many possibilities with gingerbread houses!
Secret Santa or White Elephant?
This one is easy. White Elephant! Probably because it’s a little bit more chaotic, and a lot more funny. And I like the challenge of finding a gift everyone might like.
❄
Thank you for reading, and be sure to tell me your choices!
And also it’s only two days til Christmas! That means that this is your last chance to submit a story! So if you already have a story typed up, don’t forget to send it in!
On the ninth day of Christmas my true love sent to me: 9 Ladies Dancing 8 Maids a Milking 7 Swans a Swimming 6 Geese a Laying 5 Golden Rings 4 Calling Birds 3 French Hens 2 Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a Pear Tree
the ninth day of Christmas
Hellooooo everybody!
Welcome to the ninth day of Christmas, where I’ll be sharing some cute festive hairstyles for you to try!
Let’s jingle into it!
✨ALLIMAGES FOUND ON GOOGLE ✨
❄
Easy, Classy, and Simple. I love barrettes!
☃
Half up – Half Down twist. This is my go to classy hairstyle! I’d add a scrunchie though! lol!
☃
This is so cool honestly! I would love to try this someday! And it hopefully come out right… 😐 It would also be cute to add hair glitter! ✨
☃
Okay, this is super pretty and I also tried it on my American Girl Dolls, just to make sure it worked, and it did! It was so pretty and this is probably my go to christmas party hairstyle!
This is the simplest one out of all these I’m sure. It’s just half-way doing a ponytail over and over until it’s just small enough to fit in your fist. Well, that and teasing your hair. Other than that, it’s super simple!
☃
This post was super fun to write, and maybe the most fun out of all of them!
On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Eight maids a-milking Seven swans a-swimming Six geese a-laying Five golden rings Four calling birds Three French hens Two turtle doves, and A partridge in a pear tree
the eighth day of Christmas
Hello everyone!
Today I’ll be sharing my favorite Christmas Movies! Since Christmas Movies are such a big part of Christmas, I thought what a better post than to share my favorite Christmas movies!
Let’s get started!
❄
Home Alone
Ahhh a classic. You’ve got to love Home Alone! Both of them, actually. Not the other ones. Just the first two. My only complaint is the language. Other than that, this is one of the best Christmas movies out there!
❄
ELF
I could laugh just thinking about this movie honestly. In the first half it’s so charming and it gives off serious Rudolf the Red-nose Reindeer vibes. That’s probably why I like it so much! My favorite part is probably The Worlds Best Cup of Coffee part, and quote is probably ‘You sit on a throne of Lies.’. 😂
The Santa Clause
Just until this year, I never fully understood why it was called the Santa Clause. Until this year when I figured out that THE SANTA CLAUSE, meant that it was a clause as in line of contract, like the movie says. Basically it was a law named the Santa Clause the Clause. So confusing.
I appreciated this movie even more this year, so it definitely made the list!
(Heh heh see what I did there?)
❄
Thank you so much for reading! Don’t forget to tell me your favorite Christmas Movies in the comments, and maybe something you haven’t realized in a Christmas Movie until recently!
