Birthday Fun Facts 2

More fun facts for you all today. Some of these might not be new as I likely posted them three and four years ago, but here it to hoping I am not too repetitive!

1. I was beginner rider champion for the entire country of Honduras when I was 3rd grade.

2. My mother's side of the family is descended from the Norwegian royal family. This is my claim to fame. I still cannot believe this did not warrant a Royal Wedding invite!

3. I have moved 13 times. I have lived in eight states and three counties.

4. I still can rarely tell the difference between left and right without holding out my hands. Sad but true. Some things come easy to me and this was just not one of them.

5. I have been on the front page of six different newspapers. Okay, one one the Taft paper and two were college papers, but the others were all legitimate!


I had a Madeline themed party for my 7th birthday. I had one party in Americus, GA and another in Memphis, TN. Both were complete with "authentic" Madeline costumes and teas!

Your Madeline pictures are so cute. I loved Madeline as a child! And Paddington Bear, he was my favorite.

Very cool about Norwegian royalty! I also don't know my left from my right...

Every time I hear Americus I think of that movie with Natalie Portman, 'Where the Heart Is'
Cute bday party!

Your Madeline costume is the cutest. thing. ever. I have to think a few extra seconds when figuring out left and right :)

You should dig deeper on the fam history and resurrect a lost title, use it in Norweigan as a suffix to your name and just baffle people.( I hope you get my silly humour). The photos are adorable by the way - Caspar loves Madeleine - he has the modern movie adaptation and we both love watching it. I think he wishes she was his girlfriend - two matching red-heads. You have inspired me for tomorrow's post!

Love your Madeline pictures! You'll have to share with us what those newspapers were/why you made the front cover!

Thought I was the only one who has to think about right/left.
