Disney

You can’t act like a flip flop..

 Quote by Anon – may be in my top five quotes of all time.
So after my love of Disney – shoes come a very fast second…well more a 1.5 from Disney.

I remember the first shoes I ever loved; they were my Mums heels, a classic Fuscha pink number that she wore to a wedding and although they never fitted me, I loved to pop them on and tottle around the house.

This quote resonates with me because flip flops are sloppy, reserved for the beach and ‘back door shoes’ but heels, oh they are for dancing, prancing, they physically lift you, improve posture (not so great for the knees) and Cinderella’s slipper shows a sparkly heel that can change your life.

If you were a shoe what would you be? A sporty trainer, a thick soled walking boot or a high brand designer number that is both limited and appreciated by those that understand heels…

Are you a budget buy sneaker or a limited edition trainer with a whizzy bubble under heel to improve efficiency and performance.

Perhaps more importantly is what you actually enjoy wearing, how you want to be seen and where you see yourself heading, don’t get me wrong we all have our slouchy slipper days and our fair share of welly weekends surrounded by puddles of misery…the other great thing about shoes is maybe wellies are your happy footwear ‘sole mate’ (my little boy lights up when his Thomas the Tank wellies come out to play), perhaps that actual shoe is irrelevant and actually it’s more important that you act how you wish to be treated.

So aim high, be a limited edition, appreciated and bring joy to those that walk with you on your journey.

Some people are worth melting for

 Quote by Disney’s ‘Olaf”

I love this little quote and that snowy guy, I mean come on he isn’t as annoying as most of the Disney comedy characters and as a secret princess / kick ass woman – I’m so with the Frozen team, I’ve already got the t-shirt and mug…ok, not the mug but only because it wouldn’t match all the other mugs I have  (I’m such a loser), anyway it’s a good question – who would you melt for?

Personally, I speak to my bestie everyday on the way too or on the way home from work, I also speak to my Mum or Skype her everyday, so in true girl power spirit these women empower me….but melt? Hmmm…not so much?

It’s the men I melt for, and I’m not just talking David Beckham. My Dad was my first hero and he is soooo random at times he makes me laugh constantly. My ‘other half’ is totally gorgeous in my opinion and as my trusty soul mate and partner in crime / supermarket shopping buddy…melting comes easy.

My little man makes me continually laugh and I sometimes wished when he was a baby that I could get into his head and find out what he was thinking, well he was two in March so with no filter between his brain and his mouth – I now can; he melts my heart constantly with his funny little habits, phrases that just blurts out and genuine curiosity of the world. When J really melts my heart though is when he is sleeping, I think it’s probably an undeveloped cave chick thing, but I could watch that boy sleep forever, from his perfectly plump lips to his content eyelashes. (pause to have a mummy hormonal melt down of my own) or in the car the other day when he was gurgling with his drink. I put my Mummy voice on and told him it wasn’t funny – he replied “it is a little bit funny mummy” and that was it, I was laughing and completely undermined my own authority – oops!

The kids at school melt me sometimes, usually it’s the random questions they ask or things they say. Note to self: write kid school phrases down 🙂

So, come on, don’t hold back who melted you this week?

Puddle love
