If anyone is a coffee fanatic like I am, then you know that Starbucks has recently come out with 6 new frappuccino flavors. I'm so excited! So to celebrate this event, Piper thought it would be a cool idea for ether Meredith or I to do a rating of our favorite Frapp flavors. So without further ado, a ranking of my top ten favorites, including the 6 newly inducted flavors. Really you can't go wrong with any Starbucks drink. My personal overall favorites are: Hot Pumpkin Spice Latté, Hot Cinnamon Dolce Latté, Iced Passion Tea, and the Smores frappuccino. :)

Kids love when you pay attention to them. Unfortunately, despite what the kids think, I do not have 3 sets of eyes and arms. I'll be loading the dishwasher as Ryan asks me to watch him play a video game while Natalie is pulling my arm trying to show me her latest art masterpiece, and Kelsey wants me to make lunch. I can't do all of that at once! I'm only one person! So I've learned to take the time with each child individually and give them my full attention. I'll watch Ryan play minecraft for 15 minutes, then I'll make an art sculpture out of modeling clay with Natalie, and finally I'll supervise Kelsey making her peanut butter and jelly sandwich while she tells me all about her plans for the weekend. By spending the time with each child, they don't feel overpowered or left out by their siblings because it's 1 on 1. If I'm lucky, sometimes they'll all want to do the same thing, like watch a movie or play a board game. Then I can somewhat rest as they watch/play together. :)
<3 Ellie After living with these people for 9 months, it is certainly weird not to see them every day during the summer. I love these bitches, so it's been quite a struggle trying to now figure out how to live without them. It's like a long distance relationship lol. So without further ado, a list of the struggles of living away from your friends during the summer. Counting down the days until you can see them againYes I have a countdown app on my phone telling me when I'll get to see them again. Don't judge. Having to communicate through textingTexting is great, but you can't always express something in words. And sometimes you just need to rant. Capital letters don't always do it justice. Snapchats can only be 10 seconds longSo then you turn to snapchats. You then realize though that snapchats can only be 10 seconds long. This means you end up having to send 20 snapchats to get your point across. It would be much easier if you could see each other for real. Facetime isn't the same as in personI love facetime, but it still isn't the same as in person talking. I guess it's the closest we'll get until we'll see each other for real though so it will have to do. <3 Ellie
A Binder of Notes from Freshmen Year ClassesI recently compiled all 30 credit hours worth of work from freshmen year into a two inch binder. Let's just say there was a lot of hole punch remnants everywhere. I'm so glad I made this binder though because that means I can look back at my notes if I need help in new classes next semester that have built off of previous classes. It really wasn't that hard to make the binder. It was just very time consuming.
<3 Ellie As Piper said before, both her and I have started nannying for different families this summer! I love nannying, but without a schedule the kids can get really bored really quickly. So here are a few of the boredom busters I've been using! Indoor Fun Watch a movie. Great for if you need some peace and quiet.Apps on iPads are the best for keeping kids entertained!Bake something. Just make sure to keep close supervision.Curl Hair and Paint Nails. The girls loved when I did this.Play a board game. Sibling rivalry might cause issues so use with caution.Read a book. Reading is a great way to keep kids entertained and learning.Outdoor Fun Go to the pool or the park. It will get them tired out!Blow bubbles outside.Make a masterpiece with sidewalk chalkRide a bikeSwing on a swingsetHave a water balloon fight. Just make sure no one is allowed to hit anyone's face.<3 Ellie
College shopping lists are great, really. But there are some things that you just don't know that you need until you actually get to college. This definitely is not a complete list, so I might add to it as I remember more of the items that I realized I needed within the first few weeks of college. :)

Oh baby plow...Shh Shh Shh We're about to get a noise complaint.Play more bingo...You get bingo flaps.<3 Ellie
This post has been in our draft box ever since we started the blog. Just a sad little post title.No text at all. I've known I wanted to write a post about this, but I haven't had time and other posts have gotten in the way. So here we go. The Pros and Cons List is finally being posted. I absolutely love pro and cons lists. It helps me to organize all my thoughts that are running around in my head onto paper. It's great for when I have no idea what to do about a decision. When I first thought about dating Ethan again back I made many pros and cons lists because I kept thinking of more positives and negatives. At one point we had a Piper, Meredith, Lillian, Liam, and Blake all in our room helping me to make one of the lists. That's one of the reasons I love my friends. They deal with all my crazy lists. :)
I am very serious in my pros and cons lists because I want to make sure I know every aspect, good and bad, of a decision. Sometimes we do have fun with the lists though. I was looking through old notebooks the other day and found a really funny one that made me laugh out loud. So don't think that pros and cons lists have to be serious all the time. It can be really fun to make them too! <3 Ellie Hi Guys! it's been a long time! I know Piper has already told you everything about these past few months, so I won't repeat any of that. I'm so excited it's summer though! Summer means more free time and more free time means more blogging. Yay! I can't wait! So make sure to be on the lookout for more exciting posts soon!
<3 Ellie I've been single every year on Valentine's day. I've never had any experience with Valentine's day. It's always been Singles Awareness Day for me. So I had no idea what to get Ethan. But then I remembered the amazingness of Pinterset. I got this great idea to write puns of different candy names to put in a basket. For example, "You're oFISHially the sweetest guy I know" attached to a bag of Swedish Fish. Cute right? I love pinterest. Here are some of the other puns I found:
