Day 8 - my biggest pet peeve

Hmmmm... Today's another tricky one!

So I think I'll start out by saying what the highlights of this week have been so far / will be!

-Studio C season 4 started on monday night! I seriously adore that show! It's BYUtv's wonderful squeeky clean comedy sketch show and I supercalifragilistically hope that I can see them perform / go to a meet & greet next school year! Whenever I need some cheering up, I watch one of their sketches!
Can I just say Hi-BISQUE-ous ;) (If you didn't laugh then you should obviously go watch studio C on byutv or youtube!)

-salad! I adore salad and eating healthy and yum yum yum yum yum! Recently my parents have been on a super healthy craze and I'm loving it! It means I get to work out with my momma and eat all of their healthyness with them! The salad I instagramed was the bomb! (Yes, I know I sound sad instagraming salad but you have no idea how freakishly good it tasted...I might have to start a recipe page!)

-my new job! I had a training thingy for it tonight and my first full day is this friday! It's literally the cutedt job ever! I get to work with kids and animals and jungle gyms and cuteness. Plus everyone is super nice and the kids are super ethusiastic!

-Easter break starts thursday!

-I'm going to the CIRCUS with my super cool bestest grandparents ever!!! Eeekk! :) They very muchly take my family on awesome random trips (We went to see BYU Ballroom last june!). Plus they are adorably sweet and very suportive. They've alreay told me they want to buy me something useful for college but I already have luggage so if you have any ideas, don't be afraid to comment them!

- I get to volunteer at my momma's school for the day! Her students are super sweet and they quickly love anyone and everyone! I haven't worked with them in a while so I'm excited to see them this week!

-It's my best fwiend's birthday on Friday and I get to give her my present! :) It is rediculously cute (and childish)!

This is a pretty productive week for.me! There's not usually this many highlights (I'm surprised that I didn't include napping in that list).

So what is my biggest pet peeve?
I really cannot even think of one!

But I really don't like :

-when people send me game requests on facebook or people that complain all the time (I actually unfriend those people)

- kids that want to grow up. I made that mistake and that's probably my biggest regret. Just enjoy a responsibility and stress free life! Remember when choosing what to get at the candy store was the most stressful thing ever? I miss that.

-people that don't like Disney (they are not in my good books)

- not feeling good enough. There is too much negativity and comparing in schools and in the world. We need to encourage and support people, even when they don't seem to need help.

And that's all I can think of for now! So what's your pet peeve?

Hope you have a great wednesday and always think positively (and also don't send me game requests!)

Love,

Reilly Michele

Day 7 - my dream job & why my parents are the best!

Dream job for me?

Is Disney movie watching a job?

[I'm being serious!]

I'd absolutely love to work in Disneyland! Or in any other Disney related workplace! But I know that won't be happening any time soon :'(

But I need to be realistic. Right now I'm focused on school, starting college {at the best university ever!} and preparing to serve a mission for me church.
I'm pretty jealous of all my mormon guy friends that don't have an awkward year in between finishing high school and going on a mission for my church but I'm sure I'll still have a great 19th year of life (which starts in 27 days people!!), even if it isn't dedicated to serving a full-time mission.

Oh boy do I get easily distracted!

So what is my real dream job?

Besides dreaming of working for the best company ever, and hoping to use my love for languages to inspire and help others [either whilst serving a mission or working as an elementary teacher in a foreign country (teaching English in Africa or working in an international school in Dubai would be amazing!)], one of my greatest aspirations is to be a mother.

Moms are the best teachers in the world! They nurture and teach their children in a way the word cannot. Parents truly are the best. My dad has taught me patience, finding happiness in random things,  80's trivia and given me a sense of humor (it still isn't as great as my dad's). My mom on the other hand has taught me all things I need to be a great mom. She has so much patience and optimism for me and my brothers. She's my best friend (other than Cumorah of course! Shout to you!).

In my church, we are taught the importance of families and love. I know that I am continually being prepared to be a great parent. The endless hours of babysitting, cooking, entertaining my brothers and working with others have helped me to develop the attributes needed to be a wonderful mother.

I am so excited to one day marry the man of my dreams (wherever he may be right now... hopefully the guy isn't stuck in a tree or something) and start a family!

I cannot wait to tell my kiddies all about their amazing grandparents and great-grandparents. I know I won't be doing this for many years to come but I cannot wait for the day where I get to start my fairy tale and follow my parent's example.

What's your dream job?

Never be afraid to follow your dreams because I you dream and work hard enough, they might just come true!

Best wishes,

Reilly Michele

Day 5 - my favourite movies that I never get sick of watching

I bet you can guess what i'm going to say....
Disney?
You got it right!!

I think my Disney obsession is turning into more of a Disney addiction!

All those movies have so many good messages, plus after watching them I always feel like a little kid again!

My top ten all-time-favourite-never-going-to-get-sick-of-Disney-movies are as follows:

-Toy Story

-Finding Nemo

-The emporer's new groove

-Up

-The little mermaid

-Monsters Inc.

-Lilo and Stitch

-Tangled

-The princess diaries

And......

-Frozen (obviously!)

I know so many quotes from every single one of those movies!

My future kiddies better learnt to love their momma's love for disney because they are going to grow up watching these movies (and all the others) and going to every Disneyland as well as Disney cruises with their mommy and daddy so mommy can cross it off her bucketlist!

There are so many other movies that I love so much! But i'm sure you'll find out about them soon enough!

Best wishes and love for Disney,

Reilly Michele

Day 3 - what makes me happy

[I'm actually really enjoying this!]

So today's post is all about what makes me happy. 

I'm happy to say that that is the easiest question for me to answer!

Of course my family and friends and succeeding in life make me happy but that is not all. 

Basically anything and everything makes me happy. 

Whether it's a pretty tree or a baby's laugh. Most things crack a smile on my face! 

As you all know anything Disney really makes me happy so here's a Disney quiz to see if you're an obsessive fan as I am. 

And now for 5 random Disney facts:

#1. Snow White is the youngest of all Disney Princesses and is thought to only be 14 years of age (shocking!) whilst either Tiana (aged 19) or Belle (aged 17-21) are thought to be the eldest. 

#2. Pumbaa was the first ever Disney character to fart in a movie (TEEHEE!).

#3. Mickey Mouse was voiced by Walt himself.Mickey was originally created as a replacement for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Mickey's original name was Mortimer Mouse.

#4. Walter Elias Disney had a phobia of mice!

#5. Boo's (from Monsters Inc.) real name is Mary. She was named after Mary Gibbs, the actress who voiced her.

There ya go! What makes you happy? 

Lots of love,

Reilly Michele

My love ( well more of an obsession) for Disney

As I have mentioned in many previous posts, I love Disney!

I've been lucky enough to have amazing parents who have raised me watching Disney movies and embracing all things that have to do with Disney.

And I've already found out that BYu has a Disney history club (and oh yes, I've already joined the facebook group!). So I'm super excited to meet fellow disney fanatics!

I've also been lucky enough to visit multiple Disneylands on multiple occasions. I still have my little pink Mickey Mouse hat with my name sewn in.
(Visiting every Disneyland is on my bucketlist and if my future hubby ever reads this I hope he takes note of that...and yes the perfect place to get engaged would be in front of Rapunzel's castle....with the the Disney crew singing our song as he kneels and asks me {saying my full name of course!}....but I can only dream).

But why do I love Disney so much some people may ask?
Because it's the happiest thing on earth!
Walt Disney wanted to create entertainment that the whole family could enjoy together and now almost 80 years later, families continue to do so.
Disney movies remind me of my childhood and since nostalgia is a HUGE problem in my life (mainly because I spent in living in paradise: the weather was always perfect in AZ and I do not ever remember having to wear a coat!).
I remember the nights I spent laying on my blankie on the living room floor, watching classic disney movies such as the Lion King and the Little Mermaid with my older brother whilst the ceiling fan span in a soothing rhythm. I always felt safest and happiest watching Disney movies, cartoons and shows. I was deprived from the Disney Channel so I was always pretty jealous of my 'rich' friends who got to watch it whenever they wanted (and yes in my eyes you were only rich if you had cable, inclusing the precious Disney Channel). So any of you out there who had that gift growing up, I hope you apprecitated it! :)

Today so many kids watch so much junk and even some of the newer Disney tv shows are pretty unique. Yet every time I watch a Disney movie I learn something new. Whether it's that love is the most important thing ever (especially the love siblings have for each other) or that positivity can help solve the hardest of problems, Disney movies teach great values.
My future kiddies are going to know every Disney movie off by heart and get so excited whenever we take them to Disneyland. Plus they'll have the cutest Disney Halloween costumes ever!

Anyways I hope you all love and appreciate the magic of Walt Disney. He was a wonderful man and I hope that one day I have the priveledge of meeting him!

Now to end with random pictures that show my disney obsession...

(One is me on my world book day costume..yes Princess Leia is a Disney princess since Lucas Films is owned by Disney and as for the rest of the random paper cutouts I found in my chapel's closet on a Tuesday night.. Aren't they awesome?)

Lots of love and Disney magic,
Reilly Michele
