Happy Monday!

Well the weekend is over and I am now sad, lol.  Mother's Day was great, we grilled up some good food for my mom and put on a really good show for her.  We each performed 3 of her favorite songs and then we tackled Bohemian Rhapsody together, lol.  It was so much fun and it is a tradition that we like to keep going for my mom.  I missed the past two photo's of the day, but do not fret, here they are.  Saturday's Photo of the Day is something that makes you happy and Sunday's Photo of the Day is mum. 

Music!



This is my mom in the 2nd grade



Music can turn my mood around no matter what is going on in my life because music is my life.  I cannot go one day without listening to some sort of music.  My mom began my love of music by playing the classics when I was growing up and I will always be thankful that she did that.  I love music because my mom always played music in our home while she was cooking, cleaning, or just relaxing with us.  Unlike most 90's kids I knew what records were and knew how to work a record player, lol.  Music and family are the two things that make me smile when I think about my childhood.  Happy Monday everyone I have an interview today so wish me luck! 



Whenever I Want You All I Have To Do Is Dream

I dream all the time, who doesn't.  I dream about all types of things such as my future home, career, and family.  I also dream about happiness and love.  My dream is to live happily ever after, which is how I came up with the title of this blog.  Now I do not think that my happily ever after will be anything like a Disney movie, that to me is not happily ever after.  My happily ever after is falling in love with an amazing guy and living in my dream house.  Now, my dream house is not huge, but one thing that it must have is a big kitchen.  I love to cook and bake so having a big kitchen is important to me.  Whenever my family would get together we would always end up in the kitchen talking and laughing, to me the kitchen is the heart of the home.  So today's Photo of the Day is kitchen and here is what I envision my dream kitchen looking like.

TGIF!!!! I hope that everyone has a great weekend and celebrates the mom or mother figure in their lives!  P.S. if anyone out there reads this blog I would greatly appreciate it if you would follow it.  Thank you in advance! 



God Is Good!

Now my family and I have been going through some really rough times and it's times like these where we take time to re-evaluate what's important in life.  There are four people that I love more than anything in this world my mom, my sister, my brother, and God.  Now as I mentioned in my post yesterday I am not deeply religious, but I do believe in God and I do believe that he is good, hence the title of this post :)  Today's Photo of the Day is your favorite word.  I love words, I think that they are the second best form of expression, next to actions of course.  I chose the word strength because it means so much to me.  I am not physically strong by any means but I do think that I am incredibly strong mentally and I am very proud of that.  I can be a very quiet person at times and people may think that I am shy, but I am really just taking everything in before I speak because I want my words to mean something.  So here it is strength, with a wonderful quote by none other than Mahatma Ghandi.

Eight Days A Week

Now, I know that there are only seven days a week, but let's face it most of us need an extra day to do all of the things we have to do.  And it's one of my favorite Beatles songs ;)  Well today's Photo of the Day is something you do everyday.  I do pretty much the same things everyday, which is really sad, I know.  Now the things I do are by no means exciting, but there is something that I do everyday that I look forward to and that is praying.  For those of you who don't know me I do not go to church and am not deeply religious, but I do pray every single day and thank God for everything he has blessed me with.  Having a daily conversation with someone who doesn't judge you and loves you for who you are is really nice, and it is comforting which is why I make sure that I have that conversation with God everyday. 

This is my favorite prayer



Sunday is Mother's Day and I am excited to celebrate my mom and everything that she does for me.  My mom does not believe in Mother's Day because she says that everyday is Mother's Day and she is absolutely right.  I tell my mom I love her multiple times a day because I just can't help it.  I would be lost with out her, she is my everything.  Even though she doesn't believe in Mother's Day my siblings and I will still be putting on our annual Mother's Day show.  The show will consist of us singing some of my mom's favorite songs to her, for her entertainment of course, lol.  Then I am planning on having a BBQ for her.  I hope that everyone has a great mom or mother figure in their life and I hope that you tell her you love her everyday because she deserves to hear it!  

Knock On Wood

So, today's Photo of the Day is a smell you adore.  I adore all types of smells such as fresh cut grass, freshly brewed coffee, and flowers.  But there is one smell that I can smell all day everyday and never get tired of it.  One smell that makes me stop in my tracks and just savor it.  That smell is the smell of charcoal burning in a grill!  I cannot get enough of that smell, one of the best things about summer is getting the grill going with good old fashioned charcoal. 

Yummy!

Inspiration

Today's Photo of the Day is someone who inspires you, so I chose my mom.  My mom means everything to me and I don't know where I would be without her.  She inspires me to be a better person, she inspires me to be happy, and she inspires me never to give up.  We have not had the easiest life, but my mom always found a way to make things fun even when we didn't have much.  She works hard everyday to provide for us and all I want to do is be able to one day provide for her.  My mom has inspired me to follow in her footsteps and work with children, and I hope that one day I can be half the mom that she is.  She has played the role of mom and dad my entire life which is why we dedicate mother's and father's day to her.  I love you mom, and thank you. 

This is my mom on my 17th birthday, lol. 



Happy Monday!

Well the weekend is unfortunately over :( and a new week has begun.  My weekend was amazing!!!! The concert was even better than I thought it was going to be and I wish I could rewind the time and re-live it over and over, lol. I know that I missed the photo's of the day for this weekend so here they are.  The photo for the 5th is a photo of my favorite bird; a sparrow, and the photo for the 6th is a photo of me as a little girl, lol.
