Dreaming Since 1997

   Good morning! I hope you're enjoying October as much as I am. Between all the regular, expected fall magic, now we get to put it all to  The Life of a Show Girl's  "The Fate of Ophelia"... chef's kiss, a perfect fall! I am excited for today's post! I am going to do another Pinterest board post! This is where I take some screen shots of one of my (many) boards on Pinterest and we look at it together! This is a way to get to see what's making my creative juices flow, what outfits I'm trying to recreate, and Audrey Hepburn photo is inspiring me. Let's take a look! So you'll see lots of coffee, fashion, Snoopy, and budgeting. I am really into these things right now. I have a brown fur coat that I can't wait to wear this year. I do want to try that apple crisp espresso drink. And I do love the excel spreadsheet for the monthly budget. Since we are in the middle of fall, I do have some fall inspired pins there. The little Snoopy with the leaf ...

  Good morning, reader! I feel a mindful essay coming on! Grab a coffee and maybe a notebook, because this essay has some numbered bullet points!  I have been thinking about discipline a lot lately. I feel like it goes hand in hand with attention span, self-awareness, and ambition. Is it becoming more and more rare? They say with smart phones, everyone's attention spans are diminishing. I have noticed this with myself sometimes. This is not a judgement- just an observation I've made about myself and the world around me. And I want to refine it for myself. I want to be disciplined so that I can live my dream life.  I am dedicating this post to 3 ways to be more disciplined in a world that has little to none. So, let's begin! 1. Why do you want this? I believe you should first recognize why you want to achieve something. Is it for your health? Is it for your career? Maybe it's less extreme than that. Maybe it's for your home to be decorated for Halloween. Whatever it ...

  Good morning, reader! Today, we are going to talk about 5 ways to turn a normal day in October into a MAGICAL day in October. This post is an easy-to-do gamechanger, so grab a cozy blanket, yummy warm beverage (in the appropriate mug as you'll read later on!), and settle in! 1. Enjoy the darker evenings! In less than a month, Daylight Saving Time ends here in NH. It's kind of already happening now, with the sky getting darker at 5:30. I understand some people reallllly don't like it, but it's happening anyway. Instead of letting it make you upset, embrace it! It sucks getting home at "night", I know, but honestly, it's  moody . It changes the scene- kind of like you're in a movie. Think of it as a cozy blanket you're putting on at the end of the day. Maybe I'm grasping for straws here, but it is something that we have to deal with, so let's make the best of it! 2. It's almost Halloween, wear your black eyeliner! I have always loved dr...

   Happy October 1! It is time to start thinking about Halloween fun such as, costumes, parties and movies to watch!  Today, I wanted to list some of my all-time favorite fall/Halloween movies. Now you'll notice I'm kind of all over the place. I love fall  themed  movies, not just the witchy, ghost, scary clown stuff. In fact, I am NOT a scary movie person at all, so you will NOT see any horror movies listed, although I have suffered through several double dates in the movie theater covering my face with popcorn and a large cherry vanilla coke! Anyway, let's get to the list! These are listed in no particular order 🍂 1. Scooby-Doo  The live action movie that came out in 2002. I just love that movie, and the sequel too! I'll use them both for one spot on my list. I loved the cast so much. They were family friendly movies that I still can enjoy now. These movies feel like my childhood.  2. Sweet Home Alabama This movie is just such a feel good, fall...
