Disney and my daughter

A rainy saturday and an unexpected illness provided the perfect opportunity for a Disney day.  Like movies, Disney is another passion of mine and one that I love sharing with my daughter.  We started watching Disney movies together when she was very small and it quickly turned into a Sunday night family tradition.  One I'm happy to say that we still continue.

This weeks pick was Peter Pan, an oldie but goodie.  We've watched this movie together many times and without fail, I always tear up at the end.  I'm not sure why, it's just that this movie has always had this affect on me.  My daughter doesn't seem to notice, she's always far too engrossed in the movie.  I think it has to do with growing up and not wanting to lose this special time with her.  Disney is all about childhood wonder and innocence and I feel that with each and every day that I'm starting to lose her a little bit.  She still loves watching these movies with me, but for how long? This chapter in our life is slowly coming to an end, making way for new fads and interests and where will I be then?  

I hope that she'll  continue to grow to love Disney as I did, and that the magic will continue to live within her.  All it takes is "faith, trust and a little pixie dust"....

I've often wondered, if I hadn't spent my childhood growing up in a video store, would I still feel the same way I do now about movies?.....Say, if my father had been a mechanic, would I have a preferred  passion for fixing cars? Maybe, but I kinda doubt it....

About me...I'm 38 years old, married and have one beautiful daughter.  I'm also hopelessly addicted to the movies.  Honestly, I'm as equally addicted to reading movie reviews as I am about seeing the actual movie.  I've had a subscription to "Entertainment Weekly" for the last 15 years and consider it to be my go-to guide on everything Hollywood.  Over the years,  my husband has had the unfortunate pleasure of sitting through countless readings of reviews and commentaries.  I thought it was time to find a more creative outlet......

So, stay tuned....there's more to come
