Hello fellow mommies,
I’m obsessed with Disney! I just love the magic felt by young children 🙂 Their motivation to pursue dreams without limits helps me take a step back!
I have slowly been building my collection of classics over the years. So whenever there is a new Disney movie I’m anxious to see it.
Moana was no exception. I felt a connection with this movie before even seeing it….
A little background… when I went into labor with my daughter we didnt even have a name for her. We didn’t even have a name hours after having her. I remember renting tons of books, searching the Internet, asking friends and creating lists but still nothing stuck. The night after we gave birth I was searching once again. I wanted something feminine but not girly. Something unique but not hard to spell or pronounce. Something with a significant meaning behind it. I had thought of flower names which lead to my search under Hawiaan names. There it was staring me in the face. I sugguested it to my husband and we both fell in love 💕
Our daughter is only 15 months old but has such a spunky personality. She’s not afraid to do anything and she’s a fast learner. It’s hard to keep up with her adventerous spirit sometimes!
Back to the movie…she reminded me of little Moana. I loved how the movie focused on family, bravery, and realizing who you are isnt just what everyone sees 💕 I want my daughter to feel just as empowered! It made me laugh, cry, feel happy and excited!
Some of my favorite songs lyrics:
- You may here a voice inside and if the voice starts to whisper to follow the farthest star, Moana, that voice inside you is who you are.
- Every turn I take. Every trail I track. Is a choice I make now I cant turn back.
- We keep our island in mind and when it’s time to find home we know the way.
- Sometimes the world seems against you. The journey may leave a scar. But scars can heal and reveal just where you are.
- I will carry you here in my heart. You’ll remind me that come what may I’ll know the way.
It’s been a rough year for our family and I just loved everything about this movie! I bought the soundtrack and my son and I saw it twice 🙈 If you haven’t seen it already you should 💕
Now finally for my recent splurge inspired by the movie.
I had seen a few people share posts of fobbs by andrea and decided to finally check out her shop. I saw the one of Moana and I was sold!
Andrea is so quick about answering questions, customizing it to your style, and it ships so fast after it’s complete. I was so happy to get mine earlier then expected 💕
She wraps it up so cute too! The packing tape perfectly fit my reaction!
I am completly in love with this little accessory! It lifts my spirits 💕
It matches my purse and jujube set pieces so well!
Being a Mom is no easy task! I want my children to grow up with good values and self love but it takes a lot of work and plenty of mistakes. This sweet little keychain just reminds me that even though they are small they are learning and oberserving everything around them. They grow up so fast and they are the future! I want them to make a positive impact 💕
Squeeze those little munchkins of yours and know you are doing your best!
