Feel Good Song- James Blunt

You're Beautiful (Live at the BBC) Not Edited!


I love this song and the story behind it. He really did write this song about a girl he saw with another man and he was struck by her beauty. The reality is that he knows he would never be with her but for some reason she struck him to inspire him to write a song about her.

Now I am a believer of old souls, soulmates and love at first site. Maybe this is one of those situations! I mean how many times do you meet someone who you do not know and can't get them out of your head?! When and if it does happen it is a pretty crazy experience. Your not sure why, but they were placed there for a reason. Like that person somehow was meant to be in your life. It is like you are connected but you don't know how or why.
This girl was one of those for him. He wrote a hit song just from his encounter with her! Amazing!!

How Old Are You "Toooo"

I love when I ask my daughter how old she is and she says "Toooo" she doesn't say two, she drags out the "ooo" It is amazing that she is two. Two years ago I could not image what kind of Mom I would be or person. She has helped me grow these past two years into a more patient, understanding person. She has helped me see life in a totally different and new light.

Being a mom and watching your child grow into this amazing little person is the most surreal experience. I see alot of myself in her although she looks just like her father. She brings out this kid in me, this person who wants to conquer the world and see life differently. I never get angry if I am up all night with her, I try not to yell at her unless she is really doing something wrong. She is this little person eager to learn and see what life is about and I love being her 'teacher.'

I can't wait to see what the next year and years bring. I feel like we are growing together and it is truly a blessing. I love the person I am when I am with her.

Happy 2nd Birthday Baby Girl and thank you for picking me to be your Mommy!

Minnie Mouse Cake

For my daughter's 2nd birthday this year I wanted to do a Minnie Mouse theme. Even though the whole time I shopped with her she was fighting me for Dora-which I did for her last year-I managed to convince her to have a Minnie Mouse theme party.

I was able to find Minnie Mouse balloons, plates, invites, and candles but I could not find a Minnie Mouse cake pan anywhere. I searched for Minnie Mouse molds, pans, cake pans, and had no luck! So I bought a Minnie Mouse candle and decided to make my own Minnie Mouse cake. It didn't come out exactly how I planned but it was really cute!

It was a small cake, but we took our sisters and parents to brunch and after that huge meal who really was going to eat cake besides the kids?! Below are some pictures.
