Gracie's Visit To Santa/Chronicles Of Narnia Exhibit at Woodfield Mall

This past weekend I took Grace to visit Santa Clause at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, Illinois. To our surprise before visiting Santa they had the most wonderful exhibit The Chronicles of  Narnia.   It was  turned into an Ice Castle that you have to go through right before you go see Santa.  Here are a few pics that displayed the wonderful time we had:

Before Entering The Ice Castle

Waiting in Line before she saw Santa., she was very impatient to see him.

They had the most amazing life Size Dolls of the Movie Chronicles Of Narnia Part Three in a SnowGlobe and in the bottom displayed part's of the movie.  How cool is that?

In the movie the new character that is the boy is hilarious and Gracie love's the Rat.

Grace inside the Ice Castle right before she was about to see Santa.

Inside the Ice Castle there was fake snow that she played with and threw in the air.

She really enjoyed being inside the Ice Castle and it was so beautiful.

She loved the Center of the Ice Castle where you threw snow and it just floated in the air.

I was so happy to share this wonderful moment with her as the Ice Castle was like a dream. 

 Plasma's all around displaying part's of the movie , the walls where transformed into ice paintings; making you feel like you where in Antartica and snow all over the floor. Such a magical place.

She had the time of her life and didn't want to leave.

By the time she got to see Santa she was filled with snow.

Right before she saw Santa, she also Sat in a huge chair that was frozen cold resembling the Ice Queen from the Movie.  She saw Santa and gave him a huge list of things she wanted. Oh Boy was it a long list.,LOL. After the Santa Visit we went to the Movie Theatre and saw The Chronicles Of Narnia Part Three Movie in 3D. It was great and we loved it.

Quotes of the Day : Strength

Life can be filled with challenges. Sometimes you just feel totally beaten up and need comforting arms and encouraging thoughts to soothe your soul. Look within yourself to find your strength. We gain strength through practice and making efforts to learn from mistakes. It's also during your darkest or fearful moments, that you gather your courage and call upon your greatest strength to pull you through those days. That's when you learn to stretch your strength. These quotes our my favorite when it comes to having strength in my everyday life.  Remember you too are a woman of strength and let these strength quotes speak to you!

I AM AN EAGLE

Today well since yesterday has been a very stressful., life changing evaluation of my life literally.  Things have been a huge struggle and it has made me realize that I have to make a major change in my own personal life.  This poem is making me realize that I am just like an Eagle and have to remember that always; no matter what am going through. Here is the poem that made me realize this:

:"Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, the eagle sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it."

Stay Strong and Fly Like An Eagle :)

Love,
Shelly

CONFIDENCE

Confidence is What Makes a Women Sexy & Beautiful

Well today I am feeling very Confident & Sexy., I guess because more and more I am finding out who I really am as a person. I'd like to share these quotes with you today as I find them very inspiring:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Nelson Mandela.



“Find out who you are and do it on purpose" Dolly Parton.

“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it -- I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know -- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay." Virginia Satir

Love this quotes enjoy them as much as I am right now :)
