Blogmas Day 2: Favorite Children's Characters

So on Instagram Alex's Lemonade started a challenge where you post children's characters for Childhood Cancer Awareness. The Ice Bucket challenge raised enough awareness for ALS that they actually found what causes ALS... so I'm hoping this can help cure cancer as well... especially for children because that is a lot for a child to deal with. Here is the link to Alex's lemonade. I would encourage you to help spread the word about the website. Donate if you can and if you feel comfortable with it. But yeah! Onto my favorite childhood characters!

Sully from Monster's Inc 
Monster's Inc is one of my favorite movies of all time... and it is partially because of how sweet Sully was too Boo. And he has kind of a mischievous side too... but he's just a great character. I love him! I love all the holiday Sully's that they have dressed up for the holidays. He's just so cute and cuddly. I love Sully!

Minions 
Obviously... I love minions. I just think they're cute and they're funny and I love Despicable Me and all its characters and I love Minions and that story. It's so clever that they're just creatures that go to villains. I'm currently writing this underneath a minion blanket.

Gru from Despicable Me 
I'm trying to just mention one character per movie because... let's face it... this could be a very very long list... but I can't not mention Gru! Gru is so sweet. I love Despicable Me. Gru always makes me laugh. Steve Carell is the best!

Stitch 
I don't think I can watch this movie without crying.... especially now that I have a dog and I had another dog that passed away that really really reminds me of Stitch... its a sweet movie for any pet owner and Stitch is so cute and fluffy! I love how he's so bad but then he becomes so lovable!

Rapunzel 
I really relate to Rapunzel. Idk why... she's just my Disney Princess. I saw Moana today and I love Moana as a Disney Princess/Heroine... but Rapunzel is more me. And I love Tangled. It's a really pretty movie.

The Muppets 
Idk if the Muppets count as a children's  character... because I think adults enjoy them equally. I also can't pick one because... they're better together. My favorite muppets are Statler and Waldorf and Miss Piggy... but I can't just choose them because they aren't as good without the other Muppet characters either. I just love The Muppets. Especially the Christmas Carol... so good.

Scrooge McDuck 
If you don't know who Scrooge McDuck is... I'm sorry. You need to look up Duck Tales right now! Its so good! Mickey's Christmas Carol is great too.

Miss Nelson 
This is from the book Miss Nelson is missing. My favorite book as a kid... I love Miss Nelson and Miss Viola Swamp! Great book very cute!

I know I can think of 5000 more... but these are the characters coming to mind right now that are important to my childhood... and I hope a lot of other kids have some happiness in their holidays now because of Alex's Lemonade. Any of these things would be great to get as gifts for any children in your life... and even if these aren't movies or anything specifically Christmasy... these are still movies I like to watch around christmas!

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
