Isn't this picture just so adorable? I saw this on Allison's blog, and I couldn't resist posting it on my blog as well. This is so romantic!! ♥

Tony Awards highlights....

Well, at least in my opinion!

The Battle of the hosts:




Sister Act{Love this movie!!} :



The Cast of Anything Goes singing "Anything Goes" :



Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe in "how to succeed in Business without really trying" :



All in all, a pretty entertaining evening of televised Broadway!

Scarborough Fair

This song has been stuck in my head all day. It would drive me nuts if I didn't love this song, and think it one of the prettiest ever written!



On a side note, it has been HOT here. I mean positively sizzling! What's the weather like on your end?

Inspirational Monday....May 30, 2011

Look! I'm back for inspirational Monday!!! Hopefully, I will do a better job of posting every Monday than I have of late.

This week's inspiration reflects the current weather here, which is HOT. It is about 90 degrees right now, and I'm still getting used to the abrupt change.

How's the weather on your end?

I needed a little inspiration

I am preparing to start a new sewing project {see here}, and I felt I needed a little inspiration to keep me motivated. As it turns out, I was so inspired, I thought I'd share it with all of you!







Inspired yet?

Are you ready for your daily dose of humor?

If you answered "yes", then watch this video! You'll be chuckling at the mere thought of it!

Laughing is good for you!

Just a little something to brighten your day! Haven't you heard? Laughing is good for you!!

Inspirational Monday....April 25, 2011

Well, Hello! How ya been? Long time, no see, and all that. What up, home dawg? Ha, ha!

Hey, sorry for the over-long absence. Don't worry, I have already punished myself. Grounded for three days and no desserts. LOL I do apologize. The last two Mondays have been just ridicules, but those days are over now, and I can get back to my inspirational Mondays!!! Yayayayayay!

For the past couple weeks, I have been painfully obsessed with vintage-style summer dresses. I will quite literally sit here in front of my best friend, Mr. Computer{say hi to the kids, computer: "Hi, kids!"}internet-shopping and pining for those lovely dresses! **SIGH** {Author goes slightly limp as she stares off into the distance........."Erin, ERIN!!!!"} AH! What?! Oh, did I zone out? Sorry. Hee, hee, enough with my pathetic obsessions. Let's look at some pictures, shall we? Good.

Beautiful, right? Oh, I better stop now before I start drooling!


See ya!

Inspirational Monday....April 4, 2011

Yay!! I didn't forget to do an inspirational post on inspirational Monday! Again, I'm sorry I forgot last week.

I've been thinking a lot about Broadway musicals lately, getting "wicked" songs stuck in my head, and to top it off, a couple weeks ago, PBS broadcasted the Les Miz concert, and I've had "one day more" running through my head ever since, which is annoying, since I don't know any of the words. Not that that's a bad thing, I do so love to sing Broadway songs at the top of my lungs as I do my chores around the house, especially when I vacuum, that way no one else can hear me belting out "Dear officer Krumpkee", thank goodness!

I hope you all have been inspired to go around the house singing "Memory" at the top of your lungs!

Inspirational Monday.......March 14, 2011

This week's Inspirational Monday is all about Spring, and the many fun things it offers, such as.........

Can y'all tell that I am shamelessly pining for warmer weather? Because I am. I want to wear pretty spring dresses. I want to go outside barefoot. I want to go for long walks in the park, and ride my bike around the neighborhood. I WANT SPRING!!!!!!!!!

Inspirational Monday March 7, 2011

elcome to the first Inspirational Monday in the month of March!!!! I'm sorry I didn't get this out on Monday, when I was supposed to. But I suppose Tuesday morning is just as good, right?

Some things that inspire me.......

Jennette McCurdy's hair. I want to die
{the good kind, like after you've just eaten the very best chocolate cake known to the human race as we know it} OMW. So gorgeous.

The pictures on Demi Lovato's Second album "Here we go again"

Old fashioned microphones. And red lipstick. They just go together, you know?

Perrywinkle, both a flower and a color.

These cupcakes. Enough said.

Now go out and be inspired!!!

History night

Not too long ago, my homeschool group held what we call "History night". Basically, each child will pick a time period{or specific person/event in history} and create an elaborate report on that topic. I say elaborate, because it's not just an essay, it's a display board, food, costume, and sometimes, a skit. The whole thing is pretty big, and I think this year's history night was the best we've ever had.........and that's saying a lot! Two years ago, I had a mini drive-in movie theatre as part of my report. Cool, right?

Amelia Earhart

The 1950's

Annie Oakley

The wright brothers

Anastasia Romanov

Eleanore Roosevelt

Cowboys

Daniel Boone

Plantation life during the Civil war

See what I mean about it being elaborate? The girl who did the 1950's had an ice cream shop, complete with laminate checkerboard flooring, swing music, and, of course, ICE CREAM!!!! And the little wright brother would twirl his little painted on mustache while he talked {AWWWW!}
Annie Oakley showed me and entire show of her shooting tricks, finishing with the one where she is riding her horse and shoots a moving target while she herself is moving. The kids really went all-out this year. I was very impressed!!!

Happy anniversary

For this week's Inspirational Monday, I shall share with you a short video. This is my favorite scene from my favorite episode of the Cosby show, Starring Comedian Bill Cosby. Full episode upon request.

In this episode, called "Happy anniversary", Heath-Cliff Huxtable and his family are celebrating his parents' 49th anniversary with a very special{and entertaining} gift.

Inspirational Monday, Valentines day, 2011

Today's Inspirational Monday post is all about Valentines day!{Of course!}

Are you ready to be inspired this Monday? Well, alright-y then!

This week's Inspirational Monday is a polyvore montage. I hope you enjoy it!

Inspiration Monday....January 31 2011

GUESS WHAT! It's Inspiration Monday!!!! Aren't you excited?! Yeah, I didn't think so......

Let's get started! My inspiration for this week is:

What is it about Vintage luggage that is so photogenic?! I mean it's just luggage, but I just love to look at it :)

This picture makes me think of Romeo and Juliet. Crazy, right?! It's a piano with a flower on it! But it's just so pretty and romantic, and I think that piano music is the prettiest thing one can put on paper. It's just so elegant, no?

Paris and the color red just seem to go together.

Looking at this picture makes me feel like Charlie walking in to Willy Wonka's factory for the first time! LOL

Red hair. Something I've always wanted. Those out there with red hair, you lucky bunch, treasure what you've got, because there are VERY few girls with all manor of other hair colors who would LOVE to have what you probably hate. I am one of those girls.

Taylor Swift. I love her hair, I love her cute little dresses, and I love her songs. They tell such great stories, and I love songs that tell stories. I also think she's SUPER pretty

Doesn't this just make you want to go out, purchase a vintage-looking suit case, put on your favorite dress and have a photo shoot on some random flight of stairs?

I know I said this last Monday, but I LOVE built-in bookshelves. Someday, when I'm rich and living in some sprawling mansion in Sunny California, my house shall be riddled with shelves such as these{complete with those sweet rolling ladders! I've always wanted to ride on one!}

Well, I suppose that's all the inspiration I can fit into one post, so, what say you, can we pick this up next week? Cool, I'll see you then!

Two songs that make me cry.......

Here are the music videos for two songs that make me cry{and I've seen them about a hundred times} They are both really good songs, so, even if you don't like songs that make you cry, I suggest listening to them anyway.

The first is "Just a dream" By Carrie Underwood





The second is "Mine" by Taylor Swift




Before you make any assumptions, I am NOT a fan of country music, these both just happen to be sung by country music singers. I am, however, a big fan of Taylor Swift's music, but, then again, she's not super country. Neither is Carrie Underwood. Maybe that's why I like thsee songs go much.

Also, I find it very entertaining that both singers are wearing SUPER cute dresses{even if the first video is so tear-jerkingly symbolic}
