Childhood Dreams..

Can you name me the top movies of your childhood? It doesn't have to be just Disney. I want to know about the movies you would watch as a kid that would make your imagination run wild! 

One of the top movies that still sends me back is the movie HOOK by Steven Spielberg. That movie would make my eyes glisten with wonder. I still to this day wish that Neverland was real! (Not Michael Jacksons Neverland) I mean the Neverland in the stars! The one that when you got there looked like an island of dreams and imagination! 







A place where you never had to grow up! Full of fairies, mermaids, and other mystical creatures!

Hook is still one of my favorite movies of all time! I could watch it all the time, I know all the lines, the score makes me feel like a kid again!! 

I remember watching that movie and LOVED the nursery @ Granny Wendy's house in London, sitting next to the big window overlooking Big Ben. I always wanted a room just like that! It is still to this day a DREAM ROOM.



I think what this movie Hook teaches us is, that YES we all GROW UP. But it is important to never forget what it was like to be a child. To be so innocent and so free. Never forget your imagination and even though you may be older on the exterior you can ALWAYS and FOREVER still be Young At Heart.

BANGARANG!!!

This is the Peter Pan statue at Kensington Gardens in London!
I would love to visit this monument one day..

Irish Oatmeal!



Yum! Nothing makes me feel more cozy than a bowl of Irish Oatmeal.. not only for breakfast but for any time of day!!

Irish oatmeal is a bit different from the normal Quaker Oats or Instant Oatmeal. Irish Oatmeal is made from Steel-Cut Oats rather than Rolled Oats. Irish Oatmeal has a chewier consistency and a nuttier flavor than the others. Its almost tapioca like to me..

Irish oatmeal is less processed than rolled oats or instant oatmeal, which makes it higher in Fiber, Vitamin B, Calcium, and Protein. It can also help lower your cholesterol.

I love sprinkling a little brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, and raisins over them! It is so delicious, comforting, and good for you! MMmmMmM

What will be, will be

Both my grandmothers and mom have sang this song to me ever since I was a little girl. This song has never had more meaning to me than it does now. It is so simple yet so true! It makes me tear up! It is so beautifully written and has passed on through generations and generations, and it will continue to do so when I have a family of my own.




When I was just a little girl

I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I grew up, & fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
