Really?! A Book Remake?! Why?!

I think every child has a favorite book. For me, it was The Poky Little Puppy's First Christmas. It didn't matter if it was the middle of Summer, I loved that book. It was a story of a mommy dog and her little puppies. The puppies escape under a fence to go explore the forest, but the littlest one (the Poky Little Puppy,) gets caught going under the fence, and gets left behind. He eventually catches up and just in time to get the Christmas tree decorated with his siblings and the help of some other animals. It is a very sweet book. Unfortunately, I haven't found it anywhere!

Today, I was in Barnes & Nobles, and I saw this:

I picked it up and nearly knocked my daughter over with excitement! Then I started reading it...

Wait a minute! This isn't it! That's the Poky Little Puppy on the cover...and it says "First Christmas" but it's not the same story! This one has people in it! And, there's no tree decorated with berries! What is this?! 

I've heard of remaking movies, but a book?! What was wrong with the original?! Why change it? It was a perfect story. I'm so disappointed. It was like someone gave me a box of chocolate caramels that ended up really being filled with fruit creams! Yuck! What a rip off!

So, the hunt continues for The ORIGINAL Poky Little Puppy's First Christmas!

Music Monday, What Inspires You?

Not only is it Cyber Monday, but it's also Music Monday. Today's theme is inspirational songs.

The great thing about music is that it inspires in so many ways. Music can be your shoulder to cry on, or the boost you need to keep going. No matter what you need you can find it in music. That's why this theme is so hard. There are just so many songs and artists out there that inspire me in so many ways.


We are all beautiful!

"Lose yourself in the music, the moment, you own it, you better never let it go, you only get one shot..."


How can you have inspirational songs without this?! What a reminder that we are all special. And, by the way, if you haven't seen Katy Perry's movie, it is so worth the watch!


Have a musical week.... ♪cause baby you're a firework, go on show 'em what you're worth♪

Music Monday, Something a Little Slower

It's Monday, and time for some music. I haven't been feeling well lately. Between pain, and dizzy spells, I've spent a lot of time in bed so this week's music choices are a little on the down side. I just wasn't feeling any dance hits. the good news is I have an MRI scheduled today, so we should hopefully find out what's wrong, and get it fixed.

Sit back relax, and enjoy the music, or just lay down, that's how I'm listening.

This video is just physically amazing! Absolutely beautiful!


This song is just so pretty. (if it sounds familiar,you may have heard it in a commercial.)


So, I'm not a fan of the Twilight movies, (the books were amazing!) but this song is just beautiful! If you're not a Breaking Dawn fan, just shut your eyes, the song is worth hearing!

Have a great week!
