Day Fourteen :: Movies Make the World Go Around

Over Thanksgiving weekend, I saw two movies, and I bet you can guess exactly which ones they are before I even show you the pictures.

The first one I saw was...

I love, love, loved it. Jennifer Lawrence is my girl, and she rocked it! Plus, my favorite part of the whole experience was the end scene when everyone gasped...because they clearly hadn't read the books. Way to go, America. Pick up a novel sometime!

The other one I saw was...

It was spectacular! I saw it with my niece and my sister, and I can't stop singing the songs. They're absolutely perfect, and there're so many quotable moments in it. Just go on Pinterest and search "Frozen." You'll be glad you did. Now...I just need to convince my husband to go see it with me again!

Day Thirteen :: Let's Talk Celebs

Celebrities are something that some people idolize. Some people change their appearance to look like celebrities. Some stalk them. Some admire for afar through magazines, such as US Weekly and People.

Me though? I just like to read about them on buzzfeed and see what awesome things they are doing and saying in their lives! My favorites are Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence.

Day Twelve :: Freshly Pressed Post

I'm not really sure what to write about today. This prompt confuses me. So...if you haven't read about the baby shower I threw for my sister, go check it out now! {there are cake pops involved!!!}

Day Eleven :: Changing Lives

Today's prompt asks who you would exchange lives with for a year - real or fictional. I have to admit, I have no idea who I would pick! There are so many options to consider. Should I pick someone from a book or a movie or a TV show? Or, should I pick someone real that seems to live an exciting life?

Hmmm...I think I'll pick one of each since I can't make up my mind!

If I could exchange lives with a real person for a year, I'd choose Jennifer Lawrence.

If I could exchange lives with a fictional character for a year, I'd choose America Singer from The Selection series by Kiera Cass.

Snow Sprinkle Shower

Back in October, I mentioned that I was getting to plan my sister's sprinkle shower for her second little one on the way. This time it's a boy, and I was determined to make it cute & fun. Now, I'm not so sure it was Pinterest pin worthy, but everyone loved it and had a blast. And, in the grand scheme of things, that's what really matters in the end!

We served strawberry shortcake kabobs drizzled with chocolate with fresh, homemade whipped cream for dipping.

There was also candy coated popcorn mixed with M&Ms.

 And, of course, cake pops were involved.

 

My mom painted these letters and hung them from her blinds as decor.

Fun was had by all with many different games too!

And here's my cute patootie niece ready for the party with her blue drink in her blue milk bottle style tumbler.

We had "snow" much fun celebrating the upcoming birth of my nephew. The clothespin game was HUGE success; I would recommend that game for every shower - baby or not. You can adapt it to any situation. Everyone had fun waiting for their water to break too and commenting on the interesting way the babies looked. We also had an impromptu race to put the diaper on the baby. I had the third best time!!! Maybe having a baby isn't so scary after all...

And, by the way...those cake pops I mentioned a few days ago in a blog post are the ones pictured above. Thank goodness for cupcake wrappers to hide all the imperfections!!
