Theme Songs!

Last night, Jon and I took turns singing retro songs to each other from our favourite childhood cartoons!

It was so much fun! I love theme songs!

It is seriously impossible to forget songs that were so present in ones childhood. Especially for me! I used to memorize and perform Disney songs for my family (whether they liked it or not!)

All the memories come flooding back once you remember the tune! I serenaded Jon with songs from Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, while Jon hummed the tune from the Zelda video game for N64!

It is so much fun to recall random songs from the past with someone you love. Of course, Jon and I didn't know each other as kids, but theme songs are like a shared bookmark of different memories. I learned that when Jon played Zelda as a kid, his sister would watch and read all of the commentary out loud to him (so cute!). I also scored major points for remembering the theme song to the X-men TV show!

My friends from University and I used to sing the theme songs to 90's sitcoms. A whole evening could be spent sipping on cheap beer and singing classics from Full House, Who's The Boss, Family Matters and of course - Fresh Prince of Bel-Air!

It is so much fun to recall these songs with someone you love. Once the tune starts up, memories and fun stories follow, and it always brings you a sizable laugh!

Love and Laughter,

Magic in the Air

Look up, and look around.

There is a little bit of wispy magic floating around in the air this time of the year. Gardeners and those with allergies avert your eyes because I love those floaty thingys (aka dandelion seeds).

I know right? They can be such a pain - many see weeds engulfing our country like a horrible plague, or the cause of their sneezing and itching.

But, I see beauty.

Think about how cool it is to see bubbles floating around in the summer. You know they are coming from somewhere, but you don't know where. All you know is that some cute little family is running around and having fun with them. I see our floaty dandelion friends that way - just nature having a bit of fun with us.

Lovely, Beautiful.

Sigh

Okay, I am human. And thus, I am allowed to be a bit materialistic. I try and I try and I try so often. But, every now and then something so beautiful and wonderful comes along, and I fall in love.

I love these shoes!

They are so beautiful. Alas, being Choo's - they are extremely out of my budget.

Sigh...

Lover of more than shoes,

Dance like No One is Watching!

I love dancing!

But, what I love even more is that it counts as a workout! Yippee!!

Romance and the Little Things

I love everyday romance.

Sometimes it is all of those little things that makes me so appreciative of Jon. Yesterday, we spent the day together for the first time in about a week (our schedules have been opposite). We wanted to go on a picnic, but ran out of time. Instead, we set up a blanket on our balcony, cut up some cheeses and a baguette, and popped a bottle of sparkling wine.

It was a perfect day, and it reminded me that sometimes things don't always go the way that you want them to. But sometimes, it is that 'Plan B' that can feel more enjoyable than what you had originally anticipated.

Simple is sensational!

Love for the lovelies,

Michelle xxo
