A Mother Daughter Date

A Mother Daughter Date


Bonjour Mes Amis!


Don't worry, that'll be the only French in this post. Today was supposed to be a boringly normal day, but it seems that it took a turn for the better. Let me explain.


First of all it's my friend Taylor's birthday! (Happy Birthday Taylor!) So while her and my twin went bowling and all that other fun stuff, my mom and I were sort of stuck in Moncton, New Brunswick with nothing to do.  So what do two creatively, crazy women with a love of culture do in said city? We find the nearest café to go people watching of course!


Now for those who don't know what people watching is, I'll give you a quick summary. It's when you find a nice quiet spot to sit and relax, while you point out different people and create absurd stories about them.
For example: A man dressed in all black and a hoodie walks by holding a dirty duffel bag, and suspiciously seems to be in a rush. Obviously that man had just robbed a bank and in the midst of getting away. But when his escape car never showed, he had to dash on foot. Now he weaves through the crowd as he tries to blend in and hide from the cops, but it's only a matter of time before they catch him.
Something like that!


This is what my mother and I do in our spare time. And no, we do not have a life.

Now this post is less about people watching and more about the café we happened to stumble upon and went people watching in. The café is called Café C'est La Vie, and it is the most artistic, most comfortable, most amazing café I have ever been to! Seriously it is now on my list of: Favorite Spots in Moncton!


This place is something else! It exhibits a local artists art work for month, every month. It has a huge variety of teas, and different international food selection, that tastes amazing by the way. They offer some food gluten free, and when they do, my mother noticed they added a little more food beside her sandwich because gluten free bread is smaller than normal bread. Talk about considerate. The service in this place makes you feel welcomed, and the building itself is over flowing with inspiration!


The workers there are polite, and very kind. I honestly felt like I was at home there! So, if you're ever in Main Street, Moncton, N.B, Canada, be sure to stop by at Café C'est La Vie! 

So that just about sums up my day. As I said before, no life!


I'll see you all later

Do You Believe In Magic?

Do You Believe in Magic?




Welcome Princesses, and Princes!




Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, there was a nerdy blogger. She and her family had craved and planned to search and discover a world of magic and adventure for many years, but because there was so many of them; they could not. But as fate would have it, after 15 years of waiting the moment had finally arrived. They got into their mystical carriage and drove to the place where wishes come true. Disney World.




In case you couldn't tell from my epic intro, I'm going to just say it. I went to Disney! Now for those who have already been there multiple times, or don't really care about it and probably think that I'm over reacting, let me explain something.




 I have been waiting to go to Disney World for as long as I can remember. But there are 7 people in my family, and it cost a fortune to go, so we never got the opportunity. So I grew up to all my friends going, and lived off the stories that they'd return with, and dreamed of when I would be able to experience it for myself.




For some reason, my mom grew tired of waiting and finally decided to work a few things out so that this entire trip would be possible. We all hopped into our sexy mini van and drove 3000 km, one way, to Florida (this is of course with many stops in between) On March 9th we finally did it. We went to Disney!!




It was exactly as I dreamed. We had gone to the Magic Kingdom, which is fabulous! You enter through old fashioned Main Street before you had the option to go four ways: 1. Into the futuristic  territory of Tomorrow Land 2. Explore the magical sites of Fantasy Land 3. Go back in time through Frontier Land or 4. Discover new wonders in Adventure Land. And sitting in the middle it of all this was, of course, Cinderella's beautiful castle!


Now we went on almost all the rides. From the really fast ones like The Dwarves Mining ride, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Thunder Mountain, to the slow yet magnificent one like Under The Sea, The Pirates Of Caribbean, and Peter Pan's Flight. To be honest I absolutely adored the slow ones because it's the slow ones that take you into the movie in a way I didn't now was possible!


If you are to go to Disney there is positively one thing you must do to finish your Disney experience, and that's stay for the closing firework, and light show along with the closing parade! They are so marvelous, and all together fascinating! I swear I was 5 again as I watched fireworks explode above my head to the beat of my favorite Disney songs. And if you don't catch the afternoon parade, you have to see the night time one, because it's that one that has the floats all strung with lights!


So that was my Disney experience, my one day of royalty. Comment about your experience, and/or your favorite Disney movie.

We Found A Zoo!

We Found A Zoo!




Greetings Mates,




So I didn't post anything yesterday, for one simple reason. Nothing really happened yesterday. We went shopping at the Legacy Place in Dedham. I got a new dress :)




But today is a completely different story. Why you may ask? We went to Roger Williams Park Zoo.


Now where is this zoo? Well, let me tell you! Roger Williams Park Zoo is on Rhode Island, and is absolutely amazing!!

This zoo has just about everything there is to offer. There's cheetahs, zebras, elephants, giraffes and even a red panda. A RED STICKEN PANDA!!!! Do you know how cute those things are? They are so adorable.

Roger William's is a huge zoo. My family and I were able to go around the entire thing in around   1.5 - 2 hours. The experience is astonishing.  It makes you feel like a child all over again!

This zoo is definitely a place to put on your bucket list. It's given me tons of new memories that will last a life time, as I hope it will for you too!

Bye-bye for now,

ROADTRIP!!!!

ROADTRIP!!!!!


Hello, My Friends!


Alright! So for the next 10 days I will hopefully be making a new post everyday. Why you may ask? BECAUSE MY FAMILY'S GOING ON A ROADTRIP ACROSS THE STATES!!!!!


That's right! We start in my home town in New Brunswick, then make our way through to Boston for 3 days, Washington just for a night, then our main stop Florida (Disney!!!), and we continue on to Myrtle Beach, and make one last stop on New York City.


Now to be honest, we actually started our trip yesterday. So allow me to fill you in.


My two sisters, my step-brother, my step-dad, my mom and I, all hopped into our van around 5:00 a.m. We began our super long car ride to Boston, after hours of fighting, sleeping, eating, singing, and readings, we actually arrived there at 3:45 p.m.


Our hotel is amazing! We're staying and the Hampton Inn on the outskirts of Boston, and it is beautiful. They have a pool and hot tub, a gym,  and awesome free breakfast, beautiful furniture, and so much more. Not mention the fact that the staff are amazing and really friendly. I absolutely love it here. Yet again if you stick anywhere with a pool, free wifi, and free food, you'll have my heart in your hands! 

 

After settling into the hotel, we decided to head out for supper....At the original Wahlburgers restaurant!! This foodie hot spot, is a definite must see if you are in Boston. It is so awesome! The atmosphere itself is spectacular. And the food, oh my gosh, it is sooooooooo good! I'm telling you their burgers are moan worthy! I still can't believe how good it was. This restaurant definitely lives up to it's reputation.

Now, what do you do after you eat a wonderful, filling, meal? Why walk around and do a little shopping of course. We walked around the beautiful town of Quincy and stopped to multiple stores. Bed, Bath and Beyond, Trader Joe's, and Marshalls. Now understand I've never been to any of these stores, with the exception of Marshalls. To say I was impressed was an understatement. Bed, Bath and Beyond, not only looks beautiful but the stuff inside it is amazing! If you're starting to move out on your own, I would definitely recommend going there. There's also Trader Joe's. They bring a whole new definition to grocery shopping! They've got all kinds of different foods. There's Cookie Butter, Shrimp Nuggets, and lots and lots of other stuff. Now I didn't really do much at Marshalls. But it's the only place I actually bought something at. I got a brand new bathing suit, that I absolutely love! So thank you Marshall where ever you are.

The day ended with a nice swim at the hotel, and quick relaxing shower. We all headed to bed and got ready for tomorrow. A day reserved for shopping.

Until then,

The Nerdy Blogger

Who I Am

Who I Am


Hi Guys,


So I just found out that if you share one of my posts it says my name in all caps right underneath it. So I am going to reveal to you my identity.


Hi, I'm Brooklyn Wilkins. Call me, Brook. I'm a 14 year old from New Brunswick, Canada. I don't really have that much of a life. But my dream job is to be a travel writer, so that I can explore the world doing my what I love. Writing. 

I like to say that I'm smart, whether it's true or not I have no idea. My favourite colour is TARDIS blue, my favourite Marvel character is Captain America, my favourite Whinchester is Sam, my favourite Doctor is 11 (But I never skipped 9 or 10, their still amazing too), and Loki will forever be better then Thor.


To say I'm a Fan Girl is an understatement. I tend to obsess over almost everything, and 'ship' all kinds of couples. I'm talking about anyone from my O.T.P. 'Captain Swan' (from Once Upon A Time), to 'Destiel' (From Supernatural), to 'Sherlolly' (From Sherlock, and I do like the idea of JohnLock too)


So that's basically who I am. I hope this has answered any questions. I'll see you guys around!


Signing off,

All The Single Ladies

Why Hello, Sweethearts


     Oh Valentine's day! A day of love, caring, and cherishing your loved ones....Unless you're single like me. Then it's a day of chocolate, ice cream, and a marathon of romance movies. It may seem sad, but I actually love being single on Valentine's day. Instead of having to go on some kind of cliché date at an over booked restaurant, I get to stay home, dig into a pile of 50% off chocolates and let my heart break over romances that I will most likely never have. It's quite fun, actually. So instead of going on and on about the perfect date, and how hot my imaginary boyfriend is, let's talk about how we don't need no man, or woman to be happy! We can simply be happy and free!


   Even though todays society may seem to tell us that you need a partner to be happy it's not true. We can all survive perfectly fine independently. Take myself for example! I have been single, and proud for about 3 years. Not because I can't get a guy, but because I don't need one. And to tell you the truth these 3 years have been some of the happiest years of my life! I've got great friends, great grades, and no worries what so ever. It kind of reminds me of a post a saw on Facebook. 'Being single doesn't mean you're weak. It just means you're strong enough to wait for what we deserve.' and you, my friends deserve only the best. So please don't treat being single like it's a bad thing. It just means we are waiting for some one who will treat us like we're their everything.


  Now I will admit, I am being a slight hypocrite right now. Why, you may ask? Because I'm a complete hopeless romantic that's why! I believe in 'soul mates' and 'love at first sight' and all that crap! I don't really cry at romance movies, but my heart literally aches! For example, I was watching my one of my favorite romance movies, 'What's Your Number?', and screamed at the T.V. because of how clueless the female lead was, then squealed like the teenage girl I am when they finally got together. I love classic love stories! I get so happy when someone finally finds their perfect someone. It kind makes you wish you had a love like that of your own. But you just got to remember that you will find it someday. And if you already found your other half, congratulations! You've found the true love of your life, if you could be so kind to tell me just how you did that, that'd be wonderful!


Anyways, all the roses and paper hearts away, love is a very fragile thing, that I'm sure we'll all find eventually. Until then don't be ashamed of being strong and independent. Enjoy life as it is, and be happy!


With lots of hugs,


The Nerdy Blogger

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year, Dearies!


    
       Welcome to the 2016 world of my blog! I know this post is more then a little delayed, seeing how it's now February, but I am still going to remind you all of your New Year's resolutions, and tell you about mine. So lets pull back out those party hats, and noise makers, cause this may get a little crazy!




     Ah, New Year's resolutions! We put all of our hopes and dreams into this one goal, and tell ourselves that it will last for the rest of the year. Only for it to go completely down hill within 2 weeks. I actually attempted to do this myself this year. I told myself I was going to loose all the weight I could, and get into shape for basketball season. I was right into it! I downloaded the 'Fitness Plus' app, it let's you track how many calories you need to eat and loose to reach your goal weight. All I simply had to do was record what I eat, how much I ate of it, pretty easy. I also added the 'S Work It' workout app.




      All had been well, then I hit my first weak day. I was at my Grandmother's, and she decided I needed to eat a pre supper snack, then a full course meal, and then dessert. It was so sooo good, and I couldn't say no to my Grandma! Everything went South from there. I had stopped working out, and stopped tracking my calories, but still played basketball every week.




     And do you know what? I'm perfectly okay with that! So screw New Year's resolutions! I'm just going to enjoy being me, just the way I am...or was...whatever! If any body out there actually have stuck to there promises to themselves, I applaud you. Because it's a lot harder then I thought it would it be.


Any how, that's it for now, Ciao!
