Hey Lizzie here, Goo says, “when you are afraid and stressed JUST remind God about his promises.” Ella says that’s absurd because God does not need reminding. So then Mr. Mouse said Ella was right ~ God doesn’t need reminding but he likes it! Just like when Grandpa Gooshey promises to take us on a hike up Mt. Tremor and when we remind him his face gets all happy and stuff. Grandpa told us he never really forgot, he just wanted to see if we really wanted what he promised. So I GET IT….. btw Ella’s mind is just weird. Now she’s...
read moreHey it’s me Ella! And my mostly cousin almost sister best friend Lizzie LaTish and I are trying to reach Mr. Mouse (aka Fred) cause we just found out for goodness sakes – Maddie Cakes is afraid of grapes! Lizzie (aka Leonardo) was once afraid of elevators but Mr. Mouse told me to tell her to stand on my shoes. (that’s when we met Sir Quelstone of Hamington – but thats another story.) Anyway Goo says Fear (aka Gloomy Gus) tries to steal our destiny so since Maddie Cakes is training to be a rock star she has to be ok with grapes in...

read moreHey, its me, Bootie. Lizzie was asking me to hold her hand just before the plane took off which was silly because how do you save anybody if you are stuck holding their hand? By the way, Ella didn’t even know that Lizzie was weirded-out because she had her earbuds in every millisecond since we got to the airport. So anyway, I was coming back from the stewardess lady with a snack pack for cheering up Lizzie, and so when i jumped over Lizzie to get back to my seat, I saw something crazy happening outside the window! I told Lizzie to look...
read moreElla here. When Goo was writing about our adventures with The Revolutionary War Culpepper Spy Ring I was thinking that our life is like the clothesline they used to hang out secret messages for General George Washington. All the wash gets hung up at the same time but some things take longer to dry than others! The dry wash is allowed to be taken down and put away while the damp wash is allowed to stay on the line! Having damp wash that still needs to dry doesn’t make the clothesline bad, it actually proves that clotheslines are a good...
read moreHey guys, Lizzie here. Goo hates it when we say we are “good” at Sunday dinner because we don’t want to try something new. She says if we are really “good” we would say, “I would like to try just a little piece because I never had it before“. Goo is big on “try it and see if you like it.” She says trying out new and different things is a big part of jumping into the adventure of life. Click Here to see more Ellagrams!

read moreElla here. Leonardo (Lizzie) asked me to go to a birthday party with her but I said I’m not sure because the party might be boring. But now I feel bad because Lizzie doesn’t want to go alone so I don’t know what to do. Goo says I could just make a decision to have a good time. That sounds like a “Goo crazy” thing to say. If that were true I could make a decision about everything. And then I would end up doing everything I don’t want to do and have fun doing it. That’s weird!! So Goo is saying, “no its not weird, its happiness, just one...
read moreElla again. Oh well, today I promised to help Goo peel apples for our apple pies for Thanksgiving but I hate peeling apples so I was thinking of not doing it. But then I remembered that Grandpa Gooshey says peeling doesn’t have to be a ten it can be a six. Actually Grandpa Gooshey’s apple pie recipe is a true “6” not a ten because it includes some left behind apple skins from a “6” peeling! Goo says a 6 is always better than a 10 that never happens! “Grandpa Gooshey’s “Sweet Six” Apple Pie Recipe:” 6-7 apples, 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 tsp...
read moreHey guys, Ella here to tell you “Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me” isn’t really true. Words are serious weapons. Lizzie La Tish and I got into a brawl and started calling each other names. La Tish apologized first but I still felt bad like all the names we called each other were stuck on us forever. So we decided to get all those crazy silly names unstuck by writing down all the things that are great about ourselves and each other. Goo calls it replacement therapy and it really works a lot better than...
read moreHey It’s Bootie. My turn today to tell you all my Ella true stories. Ok so as we all know Ella is almost always wrong and I am almost always right. Here’s why – for example: About 3 months ago Ella did something really lame. I forgot what it was but I can tell you it was really wimpiful, so what’s the chances of her doing something like that again – 1000 gigantic percent!! But I can’t get that through her skull because she says that’s lame to keep her stuck in the past and that she gives me a zillion new chances every week....

Ella Ella Francinella is part of a close knit (Italian) family (from Long Island, NY) that enjoy many special times together, most importantly, Sunday Dinner!!!!! Ella and her family find themselves in certain circumstances where the need for a little guidance (or “spirit”) would make all the difference. Although not overtly “religious”, Ella Ella Francinella would always bring the story to a conclusion involving a faith-guided action.
