Eight might just be a random number to most of you, but my niece is 8 years old now!! I honestly cannot believe it. She's growing up way too fast. I feel like I blinked and she was no longer a baby anymore. We have made so many amazing memories together over these last 8 years. So to celebrate, well not fully celebrate but kind of celebrate, here's 8 of my favorite most recent memories that I've had with my niece.

1. Pumpkin picking and painting.

The sun was in her eyes so she kept looking away from me, but she's still the cutest thing ever.

2. A trip to our local zoo.

Everyone from RI knows and has a picture with the dog statue.

4. A trip to a zoo in Boston.

Okay, but check out that Peacock.

4. One of many movie dates.

I took my niece to see "The Incredibles 2" and "Hotel Transylvania 3", this summer and we have a bunch more movies to see when they come out.

5. Monster mini golf.

Although, in the picture we were clearing killing the games lol.

6. Baseball games.

Fun fact: She plays baseball.

7. Raspberry and blueberry picking.

I missed peaches and apples for the first time ever this year, but raspberries were something new.

8. Drawing with side walk chalk at home.

It's nothing special, but when I was her age I LOVED chalk. It was nice to see that she didn't have a tablet or a phone shoved in her face, like other kids her age.

Pros and Cons Of The Neolithic Revolution

Was the First Agricultural Revolution really that great?

The Neolithic Revolution was a groundbreaking event that happened at around 10000 B.C., when the earliest humans learned how to plant seeds and learned rudimentary horticulture, as well as how to domesticate animals. It was a huge stepping stone for the early humans, for it started the transition from a hunting-gathering society to an urban, agricultural society and shaped the course for the rest of human history. While it is a widely accepted fact that the Neolithic Revolution was a monumental step, and a great thing that happened in history, an opinion has started to grow among historians that the Neolithic Revolution might have actually been a mistake.

Here are some reasons why some think it was beneficial, and why some think it was a mistake.

10 Reasons To Visit Cleveland

Cleveland's great for the whole family – These are my favorite reasons to visit.

I am a world traveler. I have been to three different continents, traveled to over 20 states in the United States and at least six countries. I lived in New Jersey for seven and a half years and visited New York City frequently. I'm not saying this to brag, but I am simply saying this to prove that I have traveled quite a bit in my 19 years of life, and while I am no travel expert, I can say that without a doubt, Cleveland, Ohio is a wonderful city to travel to and visit. Maybe I'm biased because I've lived in a suburb of Cleveland (or what I claim to be a suburb of Cleveland) for over ten years now. However, I have seen many beautiful places in my lifetime, and while the weather is not the warmest, nor my favorite thing about the city of Cleveland, there are many other things that Cleveland can offer to tourists.

From 3 To 89, Ages Referenced In Taylor Swift Songs

Are you at one of the ages mentioned in Taylor Swift's songs?

Before Taylor Swift's transition from a country/pop sweetheart to a crazed vengeful victim, I was a huge fan of hers. I've been listening to her music for as long as I can remember.

Over the years, as an observant T Swift fan, I've noticed her penchant for mentioning ages in her songs. Maybe she does this so she can look back on these songs and remember how old she was when she had these experiences. Or maybe she does it so her fans have another level to relate to her on. For at least my past seven birthdays, I've checked to see if Taylor Swift mentioned my new age in one of her songs.
