I love the Earth.

Dear Diary:

There's been so much talk lately about the Earth and how we need to start taking better care of it. The truth is, whenever we don't take care of things, they fall apart. I think of my bike. If I leave it out in the rain, never clean it off and never fill the tires with air, it's not going to last very long.

Well, it's the same thing with the earth. So, I decided to look up on my computer and find out some of the ways I can help care for the Earth and from my reading, this is what I've decided I am going to do:

1. I'm turning off my computer, TV and lights when I am finished with them. This helps save energy.
2. I'm not keeping the water running when I'm not using it. I'm also taking shorter showers.
3. I make sure my dishwasher is totally full so that I don't waste water doing several loads.
4. When I go to the market, I bring a cart on wheels. I wheel it through the store, put my items in it and then when I pay for them, I don't need to use any paper or plastic bags. Then I just wheel the cart into the castle and voila! No waste!
5. I recycle plastic, paper, glass and metal. It's fun knowing that these items will be used again.
6. Although I live surrounded by a forest, you can never have enough trees. Trees suck up the bad air and create good, clean air for us to breathe...isn't that cool? So, whenever I get the chance, I plant a tree. It's also a lot of fun to watch it grow.

There's a lot of other ways for us to take care of the Earth, but these are just a few great ones that kids can do with their families.

Thanks for reading and keep rocking royally!

Stylin' A Princess!

Dear Diary:

I'm so excited that kids can now pick out my dresses and tiaras before I go out.

It is a little strange though, having people pick out your clothes when they don't know where you're going after they've dressed you. The other day a little kid picked out the white gown and the big, high gold tiara and I was headed into the stables to clean up after the horses...needless to say, the gown is at Coronation Cleaners!

I have a few emails from kids asking for the name of the fruit in the bowl. Here goes: the apple: Delish, the orange: Citra, the banana: Peela.

Oh, by the way, the mouse that lives in my wall is so adorable. Yesterday he asked me if I could start getting him Provolone and Mozzarella cheese instead of Cheddar cheese. Apparently, his family is originally from Italy, and he prefers to dine on Italian cheeses. Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me!

Oh, and his name is Luke. Doesn't sound very Italian to me.

Noble, I remain,

Ah, The Day Of Love

Happy Valentine's Day, Kids! Today is a great day to tell your parents, grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunt, or friend that you love and care about them!

As for me, well, I woke up this morning, stood on the balcony of the castle and with a loud voice shouted, "I love all of you! Happy Valentine's Day!"

A few people sleepily shouted back, "Hey, it's early, we're still sleeping, can you start screaming at 10 am in the future?"

Yikes! I think I'll probably just send cards next year. Some of the sleepy voices didn't seem too pleased. Oh well! What else are you supposed to do with a balcony other than shout off of it, right?

I think it's not very often that we stop to tell people we love them. We're all so busy playing, going to school, reading or on our computers. But, without other people who love us, life gets pretty boring...no matter how much stuff we have to do!

So, take the time today and tell someone you love them. Oh, but I wouldn't recommend screaming it from a balcony before 10 in the morning.

Here's hoping your moat is crocodile-free!

PKRS KIDS TAKE OVER CHELSEA MARKET MUSIC HALL!

Dearest Darling Diary:

Wow! Today was soooo much fun. We did 2 shows at the Chelsea Market Music Hallway in NYC and it was GREAT! The kids were dancing and singing and parents were moving and shaking! All the kids were dressed sooo cute! We did square dancing, a conga line, we had a mini-mosh pit during "Jeans" and learned to sing, "Tell The Truth" (complete with a cue card)!

I even got several emails from kids before I even returned home to the Kingdom (horse and carriage takes a lot longer than these "cars" that everyone in New York drives)!

The Chelsea Market is such a beautiful place - check it out online. It has so much history and has been so well-preserved. It was a gorgeous place to play music.

Thanks to the parents for bringing your kids and thanks kids for just being kids.

Off to feed my pet dragon, I remain,

WELCOME TO THE CASTLE!

Hey Kids! Thanks so much for stopping by my diary/blog. This is a place where I write down all the interesting ditties that go on in the castle, in the forest, in Racer Steve's garage, at Judo Champ Billy's Judo Tournaments and in Super Chef Jeff's kitchen!

I'll also be writing about shows that are coming up and details on our CD release in March! Yep, Songs For the Coolest Kids will finally be released (you can get pre-released copies off our website - www.princessracer.com).

I'm also going to have information on our DVD which is going to be a lot of fun. Speaking of fun, have you tried the PKRS games on our website yet? Have you visited Racer Steve's garage or visited me in my room? You can! Just click the diary or trophy icon!

Well, I have to go write some new music!

With royal regards, I remain

Princess Katie
