"I'm gonna wreck it!"

Vanellope and Ralph are BACK!! I'm so excited that this movie is coming out!! I won't lie, I was a little nervous about this one! We all loved the first one so much, would this live up to the original? Would it meet expectations?
 
IT TOTALLY DOES!

The amount of intricate details in the movie are incredible! So many little things that you find just as you sit there, some you catch instantly, others you may miss the first time. The animation is just as amazing this time around. Watching Ralph go through the router to the internet was hilarious! 
 
New characters are here and they make the movie even richer with their quirky personalities! Shank (played by Gal Gadot) is my personal favorite of the new characters. Yesssss (played by Taraji P. Henson) is the hype girl we all need in our lives hahaha
 
When I initially saw the trailer that included all of the princesses (and Queen Elsa - let's give her her right title y'all!) I was so excited to see what they would do! The way they are incorporated was seamless and hilarious.

I'm so happy we got a second movie so quickly and it lived up to the first in terms of originality and storytelling! Definitely take your kids this Thanksgiving to see it, you won't regret it!

I'm 30!

30 years of life have happened for me. I initially thought I'd do one of those "30 in 30" things but I decided to just put out some musings I've had instead.

I am not super woman.

There. I said it! I am incapable of doing all of the things I'm "supposed to do"!
 
And that's ok!
 
It's ok to not do all of the things. For example: this October we didn't do a pumpkin patch, carve pumpkins,  or anything super fall related other than Trick or Treat. And my kids are still ok. So my mom guilt can take a backseat for that thank goodness.

 I have to listen to my intuition/gut more often than my guilt or what others say. I don't know if any of you have this happen to you, but I've learned to mostly be able to say "No" or "I can't right now". We're heading into the crazy busy season and I've already had to say that a couple times to keep my sanity.  Or if there's a situation that doesn't feel right, I have to listen to that feeling and follow through.
 
It's ok to put yourself first sometimes. As a wife and mother I am constantly giving and giving and sometimes I literally have nothing left.

For me, one of the ways I put myself first is getting my hair done. I only get it done maybe twice a year but I feel so good afterwards. I feel so incandescently happy!  See this Instagram post for more of that musing!
 
It's ok to feel emotions.
Feeling sad is ok.
Feeling happy is ok.
Feeling angry is ok.
Feeling exhausted is ok.
You have to give yourself permission to feel your feelings or you can not heal. More often than not we're told to "pull yourself up by the bootstraps and get on with it" and that's good advice for the most part! But for some of us, hearing that just makes the guilt worse. I agree that we have to move on BUT everyone has their own pace and we have to find ours and do what's best for ourselves and our families.
 
It's never too late to start your dream!
It took me far too long to finally just start doing what I wanted to do: Open my own t-shirt and vinyl business! I've always wanted to make shirts at an affordable rate for ALL sizes and design my own stuff and it has been such a fun blessing for me!
It has helped my mental health in so many ways to create custom things for people! It's stretched my imagination and skills set. I've learned new things and can't wait to see  what next year has in store for the shop!

Life is good! Even when it sucks, which we all know it does on occasion, it is good!

I have my gorgeous girls, my amazing and supportive husband, my little business, a home, a working car, etc etc. How can I not see the good even dealing with the gross??

30 years old. I remember thinking 30 was so old and wise and you'd have it all figured out by now. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh how I was wrong, but also how much better it is than I thought! As I say goodbye to my 20s and welcome the next decade I'm excited to watch certain parts of my life end and new ones start. So here's to turning 30 and what a fun decade it will be!
