Monday Morning Coffee

Would you believe my coffeemaker needed cleaning? And that the little flashing light wouldn't stop until I did?? I started it last night and forgot to finish rinsing it. So, in the interest of not having coffee that tastes faintly of vinegar, I opted for the next best thing! 

Good Monday Morning, my friends! Today, we are heading to Disney! Fortunately, our flight isn't until late, so I have time to change the bedsheets, finish the laundry, and pack my things. We are blessed to have some very dear friends staying here to watch the pups, so I don't need to worry about the house or the pups. Both are in good hands!

Yesterday, Madison and Nicolas hosted a beautiful Mother's Day luncheon for me since we will be away next Sunday. Peyton and Chris joined us on the phone, too! Every day, I am reminded of how very blessed I am to be living the dream I have had since I was little: to be Mom. 

We ate in Madison's beautiful dining room...

She had dessert set up on a Disney-themed kitchen table...

We enjoyed Jersey Mike's subs... my favorite, salad, fresh fruit, and homemade cheese-broccoli soup. 

And did I mention dessert??

Afterward, we all snuggled in their TV room and watched a Disney movie of my choice! This was extremely hard to narrow down, as I love so many! Some of the ones I considered, but did not choose? Bambi, Tarzan, Sleeping Beauty, and a new favorite, Maleficent. The one I chose is considered one of the most beautiful of the films, I think. The music, especially. Madison and I must have watched it over a hundred times when she was young. It is considered a princess film, too. Any guesses? I'll let you know down below! In the meantime, have a wonderful Monday. I will be back late next week with some photos of Disney to share. And after that, I will settle in for some blessedly ordinary days with my regular posting schedule of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, along with regular visits with you! Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and thoughts as I navigated all my appointments and packed up our house. This world here is such a wonderful place, and I am blessed to call you friends. 

Happy May! Happy Mother's Day!

Disney Movie Answer:

Ok! The Disney movie I chose to watch was...

Pocahontas!

And this scene gets me every time.
