I live in a neighborhood that used to be quiet-until we moved in. Mom can spot trouble just by looking at me. Dad tells jokes so bad that Mr. Fluffball (our cat) makes the "help me" face.

Then there's my older brother, Ethan. He thinks he's a genius, but his superpower is finding new ways to bug me. Between Fido (my dog, who's scared of the vacuum) and a cat who acts like he owns the house, my life is adorable chaos 24/7.

At school, I promise I try to be good... but funny stuff still happens. My "super-safe experiment" spills by itself. My best friends are Chloe (queen of glitter and big ideas) and Nate (a super-talented, super-distracted artist). Mrs. Collins likes me... and also takes a deep breath when I walk into class.

If you like big giggles, silly messes, and epic "oops" moments-come on in. This is my life... and you're invited!
