Child at Heart

I have always been a child at heart and I still to this day have a love for Disney movies. There are just so many that I can relate to and appreciate. My favorite movie however, is Cinderella. There is just something about the story that resonates well with me. I love that she is a very simplistic girl, but loves to dress up from time to time.

Growing up I was involved in dance, volleyball and softball. One moment I could be a girly girly doing makeup and hair, while the next minute I was in the dirt having a great time. I still to this day can be found shopping and living a totally basic and girly life, while the next I may be riding four-wheelers outside and getting muddy. Cinderella reminds me a lot of myself in this aspect considering she was a very simplistic girl who enjoyed and longed to dress up and show her feminine side. I too enjoy dressing up every once in a while, but I also really enjoy wearing sweatpants and curling up on the couch to watch a movie.

Children’s movies have come a long way over time. Currently they resonate with children on a more personal level and dive into a lot deeper context. I will always love Disney movies and make an effort to see them when a new one comes out. What is your favorite Disney movie and why? Also, do you feel a connection with that movie? I would love to hear you answers! Be sure to comment below!

    I tend to have an issue with Disney movies. I did not watch most of them growing up so I guess I lack a connection. I never liked how almost none had a mom. I was and still am a mom's girl. I would say my favorite Disney movie is Tangled mostly because of the songs and the fact that she does get both her parents in the end. Also for animation Flynn Rider is very attractive. I was the same as a child. I had two older brothers so having Star Wars Light Saber battles in the front yard was common. I did not get to be a true girly girl until high school, but I do not regret it for a minute.

    I can relate with this so much. I grew up watching Disney movies and at one point we owned every one on VHS. I feel like it is so easy to relate to some of the characters. Even if you do not relate to any of them I feel that Disney can appeal to the real world and and alternate world where the imagination can run free. I feel the opinion about Disney is a personal preference, but I think it is important for children to experience it.

    I'm a person that can't just choose one Disney movie to be my favorite. Still to this day I love watching animated movies. My favorite princess movie has to be Mulan though! I love how she wasn't the typical princess and went to war. The songs in Mulan are amazing too. I don't personally relate to Disney movies, but they do tend to make me emotional. I also love how all the princess movies are being revamped to live action movies!

Joys of Being Home

Image
Like many of you, I have been soaking in the sun and enjoying this great spring weather we have been having recently in Ohio. Coming from a small town, country background one of my favorite things to do is ride four-wheelers when the weather is nice. While spending this past weekend at home I was able to enjoy some much-needed time with family and friends. On Sunday I went with various friends back to the woods and creek. It was so great enjoying the fresh air and spending time with my friends that I hadn’t seen for a couple of weeks while being at school. I took for granted the relaxing atmosphere of my hometown while being at school. After being home I am so excited for spring to come and stay for good. Here are some pictures from the weekend! There are so many great things about being home. What are your favorite things to do when you visit home? I would love to hear what you do in your hometown.  I am a firm believer in where we come from sha...

Spring Has Sprung!

I don’t know about you, but I am absolutely LOVING this spring weather! I enjoy being able to open the window in my dorm to let in fresh air, go for walks around the green monster and of course being able to wear all my spring clothes that have been in the back of my closet for too long. Well the time is here! I decided I would share one of my favorite things to wear during the spring! Birkenstocks! Yes, I know they aren’t the most attractive pair of shoes, but they are actually VERY comfortable. Also, Birkenstock will repair your shoes if something is to happen to your beloved Birks or you have simply just worn-out certain parts of them. They are close to $100, but I think you can justify that price when you see all the great features and benefits that come with them. So, why wouldn’t you want a pair of sandals that are awesome for your feet versus your typical Old Navy black rubber flip flops? What is your favorite thing to wear in the spring? I wo...

Vera Bradley Annual Outlet Sale

Last Thursday I honestly thought I had died and gone to heaven. Not really, but I was on very overjoyed and excited! I went to the annual Vera Bradley outlet sale in Fort Wayne,Indiana with my mom. For those of you that don’t know the Vera Bradley sale is held each year with large amounts of their products on sale. My mom had gone for the past several years and I was always so jealous and wanted to go but I couldn’t miss school because of softball. However, this year was finally my turn to go and experience the craze I had heard so much about. We arrived for our 11 a.m. session at 9:30 a.m. We wanted to make sure we had a decent spot in line to avoid a lot of the madness that was going to follow behind. Also by arriving early we could beat a lot of the long lines at checkout. While waiting in line Vera Bradley had various staff members encouraging us to use their hashtag and post pictures. Of course, my mom and I followed their instructions. There were prizes up for grabs! They al...
