Spiced Pear Cheesecake

For the last couple of days it has been so rainy, windy and cold so we haven't been able to do much.  But instead of going for walks we have been baking.  Yesterday I made a delicious Spiced Pear Cheesecake and Upside Down Cheesecake Cupcakes.  They were just too nice!  Here are some photos:

Upside Down Cheesecake Cupcakes

We called these Upside Down Cheesecake Cupcakes because we cooked them with the biscuit on the top.

They were absolutely delicious! We don't have any pictures of the Spiced Pear Cheesecake at the moment.

The Taming of the Tights: A Review by Honey

The Taming of the Tights is a teen book, by Louise Rennison,  about Tallulah Casey and her gang called The Tree Sisters.  All Tallulah’s friends have boyfriends but she doesn’t and the two boys she fancies are Alex and Charlie.

Tallulah has a friend called Ruby and Ruby has a pet dog called Matilda.  Tallulah, Ruby and Matilda go for walks together and like to chat about boys and stuff.

The Bottomley sisters send a threatening letter to Tallulah saying for her to get out of their sight.  There is also Cain who is always trying to ruin everything she does.

I really liked this book because some bits made me laugh out loud and not many books can do that.  But at first I didn’t really get into this story but towards the end it got better and better.  The only disappointing thing was that there was too much flirting and kissing rather than focusing on the main story line which might have made it more interesting.

I would definitely recommend this book to teenage girls who are interested in reading a lighthearted story with lots of gossip.

Disclaimer: I was sent a copy of The Taming of the Tights by Louise Rennison for the purpose of this honest review.

How Me And My Siblings Earn Pocket Money

If you have a child who desperately wants money to save up for something then I have got a few good ideas.

1) Wash up.

2) They could (if you have chickens) clean out the chicken coop, get clean water, get them clean food and collect their eggs.

3) Hoover the house and tidy up the house.

4) Clean the bathroom. 

5) Wash the car.

Me, my brother and my sister take turns washing up and get paid £1. I think £1 is a very good price because you don't want to pay them too much or too little.

Should My Sisters Go To School?

My Mummy is getting very annoyed with all our arguing and asked us if we would rather go to school, I would never EVER go to school so obviously I said 'no way!' but my two sisters said 'yes, yes!'. Now Mummy has emailed the head teacher and if they get a place, well, it will upset me because I love playing with them even if we argue or wind each other up and not just that they will have to wear the WORST clothes in the world. In the school that they might go to you have to wear a horrible GREY skirt or dress and a white top or blue top and you also have to wear the worst ever black or brown shoes. Even after years I don't understand why you can't wear whatever you want. I hate the way that when someone goes to school they have to get so patronized. Some children don't realize it but others do and I realise it and I HATE it. I feel so sorry for the little children that get patronized but are too shy or polite to say 'you're patronizing me, can you stop, please?'. Sometimes I am too shy but people don't usually do it to me anymore. And some people hit you while there walking along and pretend nothing happened. And that's what its like when someone goes to school, usually. The teachers think you're babyish and don't know anything, when actually some people do. This is why I hate school and not for any reason would I go. If your child hates school maybe you should think about home educating them if you have the time. Some people don't have the time. I have got a tip for anyone who is trying to teach their child to read or write or anything like that make sure they are having fun, if you're teaching them to read get them a funny book or some books like this Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, The Gruffalo or The Gruffalo's Child and so on.

Biology - Human Reproduction

Today I was learning about sperms travelling to the egg and it was very interesting. It said how the sperms have to travel seven-inches to get to the egg and the egg has the power to excite them. Once a sperm has got into the egg the egg seals itself shut. When people have twins that are not identical that is when two sperms each enter into different eggs. Sperms that do not make it into the egg rest their heads on the fallopian tube. They can survive like that for several days. If you are interested in this I recommend this book Beginning Life. You can get it from Amazon here

Mathletics, meringues and marshmallows

I have an older brother who goes to secondary school and is doing his GCSEs and I am home educated with my two younger brothers and sisters.  I got a Mathletics account a few days ago and it's amazing! I got a certificate on my first day on it! I now go on everyday because I love it so much and I find it very easy.

A biology lesson

On Thursday I did a Science test on materials and I really enjoyed it. The main subjects I  enjoy are science, maths, English and baking. We always do a subject at about 10am and then have a break at 12am for lunch and then we do the rest of the subjects and finish at about 1am. The main reason why we finish lessons early is because we like to get all of that out of the way so we can play and go for walks.

A couple of days ago we made meringues and I personally think that they are the best meringues I have ever had! And then two days after that we made baby blue marshmallows that were very sticky but yummy!!!
