Brett shared this with me yesterday and it brought tears to my eyes because they are so good.
Please try and watch the whole thing...it's worth it!
If this video doesn't bring a smile to your face then I don't know what will!

Monday
I haven't posted in a while because I can't think of anything to post.
I don't want to pour my guts out to (almost) silence like this post. Not that I post for comments (obviously, or I would have quit long ago) but when someone is honest and writing of things that were damaging to them it's nice to have support. Isn't that what the blogging community is all about? Support?
Lately I've been trying to disconnect from the internet more.
I have noticed that I'm constantly checking Facebook on my phone so I deleted it from my phone. It used to be that I would get so many notifications throughout the day so I'd be glued to my phone and away from Neely, if only momentarily. I hated that. So I deleted it and I only check it on my computer.
I want to be in the moment more and not take anything for granted. Life is so short and you don't know how many precious moments you'll be given with your child. (this moment brought to you by this movie.)
I was at the park the other day with Neely and I saw a mom with her iPad and iPhone. Her daughter ran up to her, said something excitedly, and the mom did not look up from her technology for a good 10 seconds after she spoke. I thought it was pretty ridiculous.
I long and ache for the days when it was normal for moms to stay at home, normal for girls to want to grow up and be moms, no technology and tons of family time. I wish I lived in the 40's. I guess I just wasn't made for these times. I have felt this way for as long as I can remember. I want to elaborate but it'll be at a later date.
I think I've blogged about this song before, but...it physically hurts me because I love it so much. I listen to it and dream about living when Helen Forrest was on the radio. I recently joined Spotify so that I could make a giant 40's music playlist. It's amazing.

Lea Salonga -Too Much For One Heart (Special edition)
I heard read the lyrics of this song from Miss Saigon on a blog and immediately looked it up on Youtube. As a mom, this song left me breathless in its beauty.
And i have given birth to a speckle of dust,
to a sparkle of light
to a small hint of life.
to a sparkle of light
to a small hint of life.
Frail as a flower in the morning
is this tiny work of art
when i see her face before me
this is too much for one heart.
I want time to stop right here
make perfection last forever
in which i could disappear, disappear.
make perfection last forever
in which i could disappear, disappear.
here, you will see the best of you and me
for life stories combining
in this life we’ve begun I have been living with such wonder
that my soul could burst apart...
it's too much for one heart.

She & Him- I Put a Spell On You
Zooey Deschanel can do no wrong.
She is by far my favorite actress and hollywoodish person.
Fitz and the Tantrums
My friend has liked them for a long time and has mentioned how great they are but I never got around to really listening to them. I meant to but I forgot!
But as of today I'm a big fan! If you like what you hear, download their album on iTunes!
Have you heard any new music you LOVE lately? If so, give me a link to their video on Youtube!
