Burnt Rabbit Fur and St. Patrick's Cathedral ~ Adventure Days Part 4

As I told you before...
We had an amazing time in New York City for our Adventure Days!

I've got some more pictures to share: ;)

Jackson with is giant FAO Schwarz bag outside of the Apple Store!

Riding the escalator at Trump Plaza! Jackson loves escalators!

What to eat? What to eat? So many yummy choices at Trump!

Jackson's favorite was the carrot cake of course! LOL!

Yum!

Looking for fish in the Trump fountain! "No fish Gamma!"

The top of the Trump Plaza Christmas Tree! (2nd Floor)

More beautiful New York City decorations!

We saw Waverly Place!!! I was so excited! Wizards of Waverly Place is one of my Favs!!!

Jackson thought this was the best artwork at the New Museum! Watch the dogs carefully! It wasn't easy getting the video at night, but it is really cool! I wonder how many people actually notice these beautiful dogs!

If you know the story of Eloise at the Plaza by Kay Thompson (I used to teach Pre-K remember) then you definitely want to visit The Plaza Hotel! It was filled with Eloise things and even an entire Eloise store! Loved it! The pic of the Eloise books will take you to the Barnes and Noble site if you would like to check out more about Eloise.

Jackson and the Eloise at the Plaza sign!

I saved the best for last! One of my absolute favorite things from our Adventure Days in New York City was visiting The Plaza Hotel and seeing....SANTA!!!

Santa wasn't too busy, so he actually called Jackson over to him so they could talk! I loved it and Jackson was just thrilled! He felt so special to have Santa say he wanted to talk with him personally! Wow! Then Santa put us right in front of a group of 5 older girls so he could get his picture with Jackson 1st...the girls thought it was adorable and were very understanding! It's so nice to be in a world with such wonderful people!

Santa!!!!

I think someone was a little pooped after 2 wonderful days in New York City!

He was so excited to tell everyone about his Adventure Days in New York City! He told lots of people about Santa and also his Burnt Rabbit Fur story too! (Don't know the story? Check it out here!) That may be one he remembers for the rest of his life! LOL!

If you're planning on visiting New York City this Christmas...then definitely check out our posts about Our Adventure Days in New York City!

As you know from our last post:

Burnt Rabbit Fur and St. Patrick's Cathedral - Adventure Days

We had a pretty eventful day! Just a little scary with the mini fire though! But that didn't stop us! We headed back into New York for another Adventure Day! We did not go back to St. Patrick's Cathedral with Jackson's Rabbit Fur Hat though! LOL!

 

This is the video of Jackson after school on Wednesday....
If you have a Kindergartner, you know how tired they can be afterschool...
but we did get a little excitement out of him after mentioning New York City and FAO Schwartz! LOL!

Store in NYC decorated like a present for Christmas! Jackson loved seeing all of the different store fronts!

Our first view of the Rockefeller Center Tree! <3

Jackson and I in Times Square! He loved all the huge TV Screens! ;)

Whoa! Jackson wasn't quite sure if this Dinosaur was real or not! Very cool!

Outside of Toys R Us....These characters all jumped at us for a picture and then asked for money!

Burnt Rabbit Fur and St. Patrick's Cathedral - Adventure Days

We just got back from spending 2 spontaneous days in New York City!

:) A definite perk when working from home! :)

We talked about it and...
decided Wednesday night...
to drive into New York City on Thursday and Friday! ;)

Mom, Jackson and myself did some of the following on Day 1...

(These are only a few of the pictures we took on Day 1...
I will post more as soon as they get uploaded to the computer from Mom and my phones LOL ;) )

• Shopping in Times Square...
• Enjoying Rockefeller Center...
• Riding a ferris wheel in the middle of Toys R Us...
• Spending precious time in the gorgeous St. Patrick's Cathedral!

(Which might smell a little like burnt rabbit fur now...lol)

Riding the indoor Ferris Wheel in the middle of Toys R Us!

Jackson and I in the Toy Story car of the Toys R Us Ferris Wheel! We were pretty lucky...almost got a Barbie car LOL! 

Take notice to the HAT!

This is Jackson's favorite HAT! Lined with Rabbit Fur!

Notice "No HAT" and candles in the background! 

Yes, Jackson and I are standing in front of the Nativity Scene at St. Patrick's Cathedral with my heart pounding at this point...

Because....

This would be right after Mommy whipped that hat off of Jackson's head...he leaned to get a stick to light a candle and caught his left ear flap on FIRE just a little...

It was a tiny, yet very scary FIRE on my child's Rabbit Fur Hat that was still on his HEAD!!!

He leaned...
It caught FIRE...
And my hand closed that quickly around it!!!!

He was completely fine and didn't even realize what had happened until I had my hand by his head...

We took off the hat for a while after that...

The scent of burnt rabbit fur filled the air for some time in New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral...
My hand smelled of burnt rabbit fur as well...
Jackson smelled it full force from my hand and the edges of his burnt rabbit fur left ear flap of his hat....LOL

Oh the events that can occur while enjoying our Adventure Days together!!!

Video ~ Play dough with Jackson

Hey everybody...

In yesterday's post I said that Jackson and I were gearing up for a fun filled week
preparing for Thanksgiving...

Well, we made some play dough yesterday....



 

We had lots of fun creating our Berry scented Play dough!

You can find the recipe by Clicking Here!

We took some feathers that we had in our craft bins and have been working on creating little turkeys for our Thanksgiving Day Celebrations!

Can't wait to see our table on Thanksgiving Day!

Can't is NOT Part of My Vocabulary!

"Can't is not part of my vocabulary!"

Have you ever used this line? Jackson knows it well! Haha!

Maybe to prove to someone that you are determined to be the best at anything you set your mind to?

Or maybe to your children?
     - Partly because you want to encourage them to learn to do things for themselves
        (Empowering themselves!) or maybe you are just tired of hearing the word "Can't."
        LOL!

We all know it can be rough day to day, but one thing to always remember is that:

"Can't is not part of my vocabulary!"

Once you realize that you can do anything that you put your mind to, you can only soar from there!

Imagine yourself succeeding in anything you choose! Whether it be:
    
     - Your Home Business!
     - Your JOB/Career!
     - Being a great parent!
     - The list goes on and on!

Just Choose and Start Making things happen Today!

I found this great pic on Facebook today and it goes well with this post! Thanks KK! ;)
 

Did you do it? Did you CLEAR YOUR MIND OF CAN'T?

If not, read the words on the pic again!

Ok, Now that you can do anything, get out there and do something great!

Until tomorrow my friends!

Have a great day/evening! ;)

Children = Inspiration

My baby is spending the weekend with my Mom and Dad and enjoying every minute! I did get to meet up with him and Pa at the bowling alley and get creamed by my Dad! LOL! There was a clincher though...I had to bring Jackson's bike and helmet...so, was he coming home with me? Nope!

Jackson will be turning 6 on Monday (way too fast!) and usually bowls with the bumpers up, not today though, he wanted to bowl like Pa! So, with no bumpers, he bowled a 59! That was pretty impressive! We are so proud of him!

He recently finished up his summer McDonald's Bowling League and received a trophy. He was so proud and made sure to point out that his trophy is much bigger than any of Mommy's trophies! LOL!

Jackson, as with any child, is an inspiration! He's used to bowling with bumpers...yes...but what does he do? Strive for the next step, Strive to be better and be willing to Step out of the box, out of his comfort zone to become a better person! 

We can learn a lot from children, we need to take a step back to our inner child, the one that is willing to take risks. We, as adults, have lost the ability to be able to choose to take a risk whenever we want!

I have been getting myself back to my inner child, I have been taking the risks to make my life better! Ya know what? It's working!

You have to be able to take a risk! If you don't, you will never know what could have been! That's something that could be regretted for the rest of your life! Is that what you want?

Thanks to friends on Facebook for some of these great inspirational pics!

Anxiety Will Not Get ME Down!

Definition of PANIC ATTACK

 

 

: an episode of intense fear or apprehension that is of sudden onset and may occur for no apparent reason or as a reaction to an identifiable triggering stimulus (as a stressful event); specifically : one that is accompanied by usually four or more bodily or cognitive symptoms (as heart palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, or feelings of unreality) and that typically peaks within 10 minutes of onset 

From Merriam-webster.com

I wrote the following post in my journal while sitting at the dr's office on a Saturday night! I am a real person! I fight real battles! Sometimes I feel like this:

I thought I would create a post about anxiety and panic attacks. This is something that happens to a lot of society, but it's a matter of will you let it get you down?

I have posted before about my amazing grandmother who passed away back in 2008 and my mom who survived a widow maker heart attack on the way to burying my grandmother. This was a very traumatic day in my life! I understood everything with my gram because I had helped take care of her and had her live with us during the last 4 months of her life. So yes, understood, but still missing her!

Mom's heart attack on the other hand was a complete shock to our family and the entire funeral procession for my gram! Mom had suffered a widow maker heart attack while in the limousine of the procession! The entire procession stopped in the middle of the street! My aunt performed CPR on my mom and a sergeant in the local police department "made a wrong turn and came upon our funeral procession!"

Being a sergeant in the local department, he had a defibrillator in his vehicle. He used the defibrillator on mom right before the ambulance showed up, they raced mom ( breathing at that point ) to the nearest hospital where they performed surgery immediately! Mom is at 100% and doing amazingly! God definitely watches over all of us!

Anyway, why did I tell you this story? Well, because as I said earlier it was a very traumatic day for me! I was very strong that day and trying to help figure out things for the situation at hand, but as time went on, my anxiety got me down! I ended up at the doctor in the middle of a panic attack and crying my eyes out! He tells me that I am not alone! Other people get like this too! Panic attacks are one of the scariest things for me to endure! They make me feel completely out of control of myself and sometimes even feel like I could die!

I can't stand it anymore! As I write this, I am sitting at the doctor's office in the middle of a panic attack! It absolutely sucks! What horrible feelings! I am writing this to help calm down, because I love blogging, and to say out loud that I am tired of letting anxiety get the best of me!

I AM STRONG! I AM IN CONTROL! I AM ME!

This is important! If you feel this way, you are not alone! Remember that and take the steps necessary to feel better! Visit your doctor and discuss it with them! I couldn't battle the feelings on my own! I tried for a long time! I finally came to the realization that i need a little extra help sometimes!

Hope this post has helped someone today! I know writing it has helped me as I wait for the doctor to come in.

I refuse to let anxiety and panic attacks get me down! I push right through the best that I can and keep going as Mommy, wife and business owner!

Talk to you soon! Comment and give a share so I know I'm not alone! ;)
