For a Media Writing assignment back in 2012, I wrote my first post on January 14. I didn’t know what lay ahead for me and had no idea I was in for a great ride!

In honor of the occasion, I look back at 2014 and ahead at 2015 in the video below.



Obviously, the biggest change this year will be the eventual change in name! I personally am leaning toward Molly Loves Mouse, but since I’m writing the blog for YOU, your opinion matters. So please vote below for your pick of the two potential names!

Which name do you prefer?

Molly & Mouse / Molly and the Mouse

I See the Light

A friend of mine also graduated this year.  And here in Minnesota, there are these things called "Open Houses."  Supposedly they're to celebrate the graduate's successful graduation without dying (high school is tough these days, you know!).  To be honest, it's more of a free food fest ("So how do you know the graduate?"  "What? Oh, we're just here for the food."--no that doesn't really happen).

Well, this particular friend of mine happens to be extremely cool and came up with a fantastic idea to end her Open House.

Floating lanterns.

(Does not come with matching Flynn and Rapunzel.)

The Beast and I, being introverts, discussed whether or not we wanted to stay to see the lanterns.  Good thing we did!

At the appointed time (9:30 I believe), everyone was called over to the side yard, where there was more room.  Various kids held unlit lanterns by the strings attached.

Yes, the lanterns weren't really going to float up into the sky as in Tangled.  The idea was to hold onto the (invisible) string, making the lantern like a kite.

(Or was that the idea?)
