Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone has an amazing holiday season! I know that even though I am working a lot, that my Holidays will be amazing! I have a great family and friends that bring my spirits up when the world wants to knock them down. I have music and laughter. Most importantly I have love.

Now I am blessed to have so much! I know that there are plenty of other people out there who don't have anything. So this Christmas, remember those who might not have anything. Remember those who have to be away from their families for one reason or another. Remember to love.

As it is the Holiday Season. I have a special announcement for all of my Pixie Dusted Proposal fans. While the old blog is not refurbished how I like it, I figure it's about time to come back up. I am finding more and more that people are still visiting it. So..... by the end of January, the Official Pixie Dusted Proposals blog will be back up and running! It will more than likely look the same. But it will be updated more often

I am very excited that I can share this with you. I am excited to write in the blog again. Get ready for some awesome Pixie Dusted Proposals in the new year!

Cold Hands Warm Hearts


It's that time of year again folks.



Now many of you may think that it doesn't get cold in Florida. Maybe you think that in Florida, it just gets "chilly". However, you would be mistaken in your thought. Sometimes Florida can just be FREEZING! Keep in mind, Floridians are used to HOT weather. So when the weather man says it's going be in the 50's people around here cringe.

So this year I decided too participate in the lovely Sandy of Sandy a la mode and Illene's of Much Love-illy Cold Hands Warm Hearts swap. Last year a few of my blogger friends did it and I thought it was so interesting. Now it was my turn to participate and meet some NEW blogger friends!

My swap partner was the lovely Ms. Megan of Moonbeam Wishes. Megan is a super awesome chick! She has such a unique style and a radiant smile. Be sure to check out her blog over at moonbeamwishes and see what she is up to!

Megan sent me a lovely package filled with lot of awesome things!


This package included:

1.Cupcake fingerless gloves. PERFECT for Florida!
2. Spa Socks! How did she know!?! My fave kind of socks and Dave always complains about my cold feet!
3. Yummy flavored lip gloss
4.Chocolate *which is not pictured because I ate it all!*
5. A strawberry scented candle *which is not pictured because I used it already too!*
6. A pack of cards from Megan's Etsy shop!

I loved it all!


These gloves are awesome! And perfect to keep my hands warm when it gets "chilly" here in Florida!
These are the cute cards from Ms. Megan's Etsy shop! Be sure to check it out. Her stuff is awesome!

This concludes the Cold Hands Warm Hearts blog post! I hope you enjoyed it. Please be sure to check out Ms. Megan's blog and send her some love. She is an amazing girl!

have an awesome day!

Happy December!

I know it's December 6th. I'm a little late on the Happy December statement.

Here are some of my favorite December things!

Bold dark colors in winter weddings. One of my favorite colors used around this time of year is Navy! Navy goes with so much and there are a lot of cute things you can do with it.

Christmas! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Holiday season! Christmas is my all time favorite holiday and I love sharing it with family and friends.

Now Snowing Nightly! In Celebration, Florida the holidays are in full swing. We don't get a lot of snow here in Florida. Occasionally Disney works their magic and snow falls in the parks, but that's about it. However, in Celebration they make it snow EVERY NIGHT in December! Dave and I will be taking my Dad to our first NSN TONIGHT!!! I'm very excited!

Christmas with the Mouse. No one does Christmas like Disney. From special ticketed parties to the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. There is something magical about spending Christmas at Disney. It is my favorite time of the year to visit the parks and just enjoy the atmosphere.

Living in Florida, there are some things that I miss. I miss home and snow. My family being together for Christmas. I miss cold weather and the smells that come with the change of season. But there are also a lot of things that remind me of home here. I am very thankful that there are places in Florida that try to make the magic of the winter season happen. I don't think I would enjoy this month nearly as much here if they didn't exists.

Enjoy December friends!

MUPPETS!

So last night I gave Dave and incentive.

"If we get everything we need to talk about/do done by 6:45 we can go see The Muppets at 7:15"

Well we got everything we needed to take care of done by 6:15 so of course we went to see The Muppets.

Can I tell you how much I LOVED this movie? I cried at least 3 times. It brought me back home, reminded me of my Pop-pop, reminded me of the time grandmom lost the car after the Muppet Babies Live!, and more. The Muppets were a HUGE part of my childhood, Kermit being my favorite. I was afraid this movie was going to ruin it. Sometimes when things haven't been around for a while and come back, we put a modern twist on it and it ruins them. But I was WRONG!

This movie was fun and entertaining. I was just like I remembered the Muppets. Hence why I cried.

I don't want to spoil the end or any part of the movie, but the end really got me. I had to not sob so Dave didn't know my eyes were welling up.

If you are thinking about going to see the movie I will leave you with this message a friend sent me:
"If the Muppets ever meant something to you. If they were a vital part of your childhood or a fleeting memory in your mind. If you have the slightest thought that you may want to see this movie, GO SEE IT. You WILL NOT be disappointed."

I leave you with this picture that made me tear up. It's a picture that I found on Pinterest and traced back to jezebel.com




Go see The Muppets. Bring your family! We need a new generation to love the Muppets as much as we do!
