My Random Addictions: DCOM Movie gifs

Hey all,

So I don't know about you, but whenever I saw the image below on my screen as a kid, I knew it was going to be a good night. So I decided to google DCOM gifs and found some great ones from my favorite old school DCOMs! Because I'm clearly already obsessed with Disney Channel Original Movies, and if you read my blog frequently I love gifs. but I have a newfound obsession for DCOM gifs :)
1) Brink- who doesn't love Erik Von Detten? Plus awesome skating skills. Love it.



2) Zenon Girl of the 21st Century- because who doesn't love the kid from Harriet the Spy and a girl who has the coolest catch phrases.


3) Halloweentown- Obviously the best Halloween movie ever. Halloween is cool.




4) Mottocrossed- Because the main guy was hot, and so was the brother.



4) The Luck of the Irish- The best St. Patty's day movie (and only one that's worth watching right?)




5) Cadet Kelly- Hilary Duff + Christy Carlson Romano= 90s Disney Channel Idols





So I'm just a tad obsessed with DCOMs and gifs. These were just a few, but I love them. What are your favorite DCOMs? Have you seen any funny gifs? I'd love to hear about them!

Thanks for reading,

DIY Pizza Poppers

Hey everyone! 
So here is one of the easiest but most delicious appetizers ever: pizza poppers! They're super easy to make and only take a few ingredients. 

What you'll need: 
Pillsbury low fat crescent rolls
Low fat Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
Pepperoni
Marinara Sauce (for dipping)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees or as the crescent rolls call for. Unroll the rolls and place pepperonis on the bottom with half a mozzarella stick on top and then more pepperonis if you'd like. You can also add other ingredients if you want. Then roll them up and try to close off the ends as best as you can. These are best served when warm, and don't reheat well so try to make them about 30 minutes before your event and keep them in a covered glass container to keep heat in. The marinara sauce is for dippiing, but they taste great without anything on them either! So that's all for now! Try them out! They're delicious!

Thanks for reading!

#BookWorm: If I Stay and Where She Went

Hello fellow readers!

This past week I finished up If I Stay and read Where She Went. Both were phenomenal. I love Gayle Forman's writing style. It's not complicated, and very much like if you were hearing someone's actual thoughts. If you haven't read either: don't worry I won't spoil anything. The premise of If I Stay is that a family gets into a car accident and the main character Mia has to decide if she wants to live or not. The second book is about Mia's boyfriend and his life after the accident. I love that the author gave Adam's point of view in Where She Went. If you like dramatic and thrilling romance books with teenage-college characters, you'll love this series. It was hard for me to finish the second book, only because I liked the characters that much and didn't want to let them go! I'd give them a combined rating of 9/10. Yep, that good. I plan on reading more of Gayle Forman's books.

The movie for If I Stay came out around Labor Day, and I LOVED it. It was one of the few movies I saw before reading the book. It was phenomenal. I really hope they make Where She Went into a movie. They did combine some things from the second book into the movie already, but nothing super life changing. And they talked a lot more about Adam's family life than the first book did.

So what did you think of the books or movie? I'm currently reading It's Kind of a Funny Story, and am enjoying it so far!

Thanks for reading along with me,
