Problems with the Kid / Teen Podcasting Community, + some actually good pods to check out.

Hiii y'all! I do love a lot of podcasts, but I have to admit there's some things about them and the people behind them that really piss me off sometimes. First things first is videos. If you know me anywhere online or IRL you've probably gotten this from me at least once. It's becoming increasingly harder to find kid podcasts that are not just videos and editing. Podcasts are meant to be audio and now there's a video podcasts feature and vid podcasts have become the NORM. Some of them don't even have audio at all! Like people used to at least have the decency to point out when something was a video podcast but now everyone just expects it to be, and sometimes people even complain when it's not. One thing that is absolutely infuriating and is a recipe for me unfollowing a podcast that people are doing lately, is when people do just videos with an AI voice. I even saw one person do a like 2k plays special that was a voice reveal. That's not the point of po...

What I got for Christmas + some other stuff

Hi all! In this post I'm going to be sharing some of the things I got for Christmas and share a few things about my little mini vacation. Let's start with the recap of my vacation. On Thursday, me, my brother, and my dad went to Worcester and we stayed there until today. We had a really early dinner on Thursday at like 4:00pm at a bread place. I had a grilled ham and cheese and some fries, and the fries weren't very good but the sandwich was! After we checked in at our hotel we played Monopoly for about 2 hours, then it was like 7:30 so my brother and I got ready for bed. I went to bed at around 9:30 and my brother went at around 8:30. (he's 3 years younger than me BTW) On Friday we all went to a nice cafe where I had a BLT with egg on a bagel, it was sooooooooo good! Then we just hung out for a while and listened to the music and talked. Upon getting back to the hotel we all went down to the pool (me and my brother got in and my dad just kind of watched). We didn...

Merry Christmas Eve Eve😍

Hey eeps! I realized I forgot to post this earlier but here's a little update / ramble sesh. In the next week or so I'm definitely gonna tell y'all what I got for Christmas. Little disclaimer about that that I will not be using the term haul, inspired by Mayim from The Braided Vine. I'm fine with other people using it but I agree with Mayim and Pearl that it does seem like a brag post, also another thing that I interpret about the word haul for any random reason is that it sort of seems like it should be something you get yourself. For that reason it's just a little awkward for me to call my Christmas gifts a haul. Comment down below if you agree or disagree. I miiiiiight also do a Christmas day in the life blog, Idk what to call it but it's not gonna be a vlog and it's not gonna have like pictures or anything, it'll just pretty much me talking about the stuff I did. (I think I did one of these last year too, I'll have to check though). Then if I mig...

Let's go over some commenting guidelines

Hi friends! Since more people have been reading and commenting on my Blog lately, I'd like to take a moment to lay down some rules so we can keep my Blog as safe and welcoming and fun to read as possible!  First, I'm sure the majority of my readers already know this bc we're more or less all Christians, but please do not use the Lord's name in vain. This includes using the phrase "omg" because it's just not something I'm comfortable having here.  If I can't make out your name I won't post your comment. This includes if it's in a copy-and-paste font (unicode characters that look like letters but aren't) because screen readers like the one I use can't make them out. Some are easier for me to make out than others but I'm going to go ahead and say no copy-and-paste fonts so it's nice and clear.  Adding onto that, please do not have a name that is just emojis or text art / symbols. I love emojis as much as the next person, but I ...

The Holiday 20 questions tag 2024!

Hi guys! So I was thinking for a while now about doing a holiday blog tag, as in, I put some questions in and tag people to answer them on their blogs, then they tag more people, and so on and so forth. I only know one other blogger who consistently reads my blog, and I want to see how far it goes, as well as find more active bloggers and maybe lead other people to me though that's not a huge priority (I'm perfectly fine being small and not very well-known LOL) Rules Link to the original post Credit the person who tagged you Tag one 1-3 more bloggers.  The questions! (with my answers in parentheses)  When do you consider the holiday season officially started? (I consider Thanksgiving to be a winter holiday, but for me Christmas season starts the day after it)  What's your favorite thing about winter? (Hot chocolate and Christmas!)  What's your least favorite thing about winter? (The cold for sure!) What do you like to do in the snow? (Nothing really LOL) ...

Recap of my weekend

Hey everyone! This past weekend I went on a weekend camp in New Hampshire, and I'm going to recap it in this post. Instead of describing it in detail though, I'm going to make a list of things about the trip that I liked. I really like making lists, and it helps me catch the best parts without being too wordy. So here's the list: leaving school an hour-and-a-half early from school Friday Listening to lots of music A really yummy chicken and bacon sub!!!! Late night chatting with friends An animal show, getting to pet a rabbit as soft as a cloud + some other things Letting a giant milipede walk on my hand A really long and awesome hayride! Apple cider and apple cider doughnuts Bowling Going out for dinner and having a cheeseburger, fries, and a shirley temple. Playing some fun games Losing at Uno and Connect Four but having fun anyways! Winning Left Right Center once! Doing trivia and winnnnnnning! Breakfast buffet!!!!! Opening a muffin the wrong way and it ...
