What I've learned from my big girl job...

...mapquest makes bad decisions sometimes.

...lunch breaks should be pre-planned to avoid not getting any break cause you're running around like crazy.

...rush hour traffic exists. Just cause I haven't ever had to sit in it before, doesn't mean it wasn't there.

...music makes everything go faster.

...singing outloud is frowned upon in corporate environments.

...you will be confused, but it's ok to ask questions. In all of life.

...I make mistakes, but they can be fixed.

...no matter how many times I do it, calling phone to phone in the office will always be as fun as when I was five and calling my cousin on my dad's office phone.

...coffee is good.

...and tea can be better.

Memory 5


Except Saturday. 

Please forgive me blog loverlies. I have had one of those weeks. 

But please come down this lovely trip down memory lane with me as we remember this toy castle.


My boss didn't believe me when I told her I played with this castle as a little kid. 

It's the most envied toy in our daycare. Complete with dragons and knights to explore the skies and the seas and the grounds with. There's a dungeon, a cannon ball (which we don't let the kids use, I know...cruel), a draw bridge, and trap doors. I know right!

It's also all in one unit, so it's easy to move around and super light. I loved this thing as a kid, and walking into the daycare to see that it was still in use was fantastic. 

Did anyone else play with this castle or was it just me? 

Probably just me, but please pretend you're nostalgic with me mk?

Oh...P.S.

30 day music challenge:

Day 23: a song you want to play at your wedding:

I've wanted this to play as I walk down the aisle for awhile now, but I'm not a huge fan of Faith Hill, so I think I want a friend to do a cover with just a guitar.
