Five Things I Would Rather Do Than Watch Frozen AGAIN | Friday 5

Link Up

6 Mar

I’ve decided that being stuck inside with a toddler might just be the seventh layer of hell. She’s bored. I’m bored. She’s reached expert level tantrums…

…and if I have to watch Frozen more than once today, I’m going to lose my ‘ish.

The only thing keeping me going is next week’s forecast. The high temperatures are in the 50’s and there doesn’t appear to be a negative sign in front of it. Could Spring really be right around the corner? I’m not convinced yet, Mother Nature. However, you better believe I will be releasing my toddler into the wild that is our backyard first thing Monday morning.

But until then, I’m mentally bracing myself for at least six more encores of “Let It Go.” Disclosure: I introduced Dorothy to this movie because I thought it was cute. Parenting Fail No. 12,091,826.

So, since I literally can’t hear my own thoughts through, “Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?”, today I give you five things I would much rather do than watch Frozen AGAIN (written as I watch today’s morning matinee).

Help me.

—

one || Eat lutefisk.

It promises good feelings, ya?

two || Take a Polar Plunge into an icy river in a sleeveless summer dress.

Because the cold never bothered me anyway. Except it does.

three || Take every morning shift. Forever and ever.

Or at least until this phase passes.

four || Sell my non-vital organs.

A kidney for not having to watch this movie multiple times a day? Deal.

five || Stay the night in Elsa’s ice palace.

Chick really didn’t think things through, here. How do you make a bed out of ice and snow? What about chairs? I’m guessing there’s no indoor plumbing? That sounds like a blasty-blast.

And there you have it. I just spent half a day on Google looking up Frozen memes. Who else is struggling to survive the Frozen stage of toddlerhood?

    Oh my gosh, this post is hilarious. I haven’t seen Frozen yet but I’m pretty sure when I do watch it I could sing all the songs because of how often I hear them. I hope your weekend will be free of anything Frozen!

Hey there, I'm Samantha. Recovering SAHM, and aspiring competitive dance mom. I have a passion for travel, am known to say it like it is, and I most certainly do not have it all together. Currently on a journey toward self love and discovery. Join me. 2021 | Bloom

This is the difference a year makes. ⬇️ 30 l This is the difference a year makes. 

⬇️ 30 lbs. ⬆️ Healthy habits. ⬇️ 4 in. of hair. ⬆️ Strength. ➕ A tattoo & a ton of self love. 

I never knew I could be this person. I’m not super athletic. I have never dieted or counted calories. I never considered myself or my health. I always have watched other women make big physical changes in their lives, but I have never felt like I was capable to do the same.

If you’re reading this, and feel the same way I used to, trust me. 

You can. 💜

Call it cliche, but I have a word to live by this year. If I'm being honest, it actually means a lot to me. I even have some semblance of "resolutions," which are really just mantras I plan to manifest into reality... and so far I think it's working.

What's your word for 2021? What are your goals, mantras, or resolutions for this year? Let me know in the comments. 🌸 Link in bio.

R: 01/08/2021, or today. 

My husband took that first photo. He was being nice, and trying to celebrate my birthday. I never told him I hated it. I looked heavy, because I was. My skin was terrible - red, broken out, etc. I was anxious, and stressed (ha! The days before 2020!), and it very obviously showed.

Today I’m in the best shape since high school, which blows my mind. I am actively working every day on my skincare, my mental health, and my reactions. Do I mess up? All the time. This week even, I made major mistakes that affect more than just myself. It’s a constant work, but it’s worth doing. 

I see growth. I see a woman who is starting to feel uncomfortable, and that’s a good thing. Whatever goals you have, or path you’re attempting to journey this year, keep going. Don’t let setbacks end your fight. You can do this. 💪🏻

(Also, both daughters saw me make this image this morning. Both thought I was pregnant in the photo on the left. I definitely was not.😳)

I’m focusing a lot of effort on self love and self discovery right now. But, just how am I perceived by the people around me? Audience determines your brand - what qualities are you projecting, and do they match how you want to be seen? Link in bio.
