FROZEN

We had such a nice Easter holiday with my Prince visiting my relatives in Haukipudas. Mostly we were just resting and eating chocolate eggs, but one day we had a Snow Queen photo shoot!

It was a coincidence that I was wearing that Elsa shirt. It's from Disneyland :)

This might sound that we were working on our holiday since we were taking the photos for my princess entertainer business. Maybe it's true, but we had fun and that was really the last day this winter to take pictures in snow, next day was so warm that most of the snow was melting.   

We are now back in Tampere, and it's so strange to watch these pictures with all that snow because there isn't any snow at all here anymore! Spring is coming <3 Maybe I should get the Frozen Fever dress for Snow Queen...

I'm so grateful that so many of my relatives wanted to help with the photo shoot! We were shooting on the ice of the river that passes my granny's house and she was our assistant with my aunt and her husband. My mom and dad were also helping, and my cousin was taking pictures, she is a photographer.

My Prince was taking pictures of taking pictures :D

I'll post the finished pictures on my instagram @havecourageandbekind.blogspot soon :)

 I didn't realize it was cold outside before the shoot was over. Luckily there was a warm sauna in granny's sauna cottage!

Then we grilled sausages and mushrooms in the fireplace.  What a wonderful day with the most important people <3

Do you wanna build a snowman?

Hello and happy Easter! :)

My Prince made this wonderful Olaf Snowman <3

This year has been so hectic I haven't even managed to write my blog so much, but still I trust that this year will be the one when my dreams come true. I haven't been wishing upon a star, but I think that now I'm ready to make them come true myself. And also I think I must have a fairy godmother somewhere and a lot of luck that I can have so much wonderful things happening in my life right now. I'm so lucky I almost feel afraid to ask for more. But no way I'm going to stop now. Now is the time to make dreams come true.

"And I'm almost there, I'm almost there
People down here think I'm crazy, but I don't care
Trials and tribulations, I’ve had my share
There ain't nothing gonna stop me now ‘cause I'm almost there"

This snowhorse would've been a snowunicorn, but we didn't have carrots. I love it anyway!

Still I've learned, that at some point when everydaylife gets too stresfull, I just have to take a break and for example build a snowman (or a snowhorse). That's one of the things I'm grateful too, to have learned my boundaries.

 So what have I been doing? Well I started a new business as a princess entertainer at kids birthday parties. I love my job as a hairdresser and make up-artist, but now I really feel I'm doing what I am ment to do. Of course I will continue my previous professions, but I hope I can do princess gigs as much as I can! I'm just wondering why I didn't think this earlier. Maybe only now I was ready.

 I love planning this business but it also takes a lot of time and effort. I'm so lucky that my Prince has helped and couraged me so much. Here we are in a happening doing some marketing!

You also need to have pictures to show to your customers...

And I would love to have many different princess characters! Here is my new character; Snow Queen

On top of that, we have continued our home's renovation, this fairytale wallpaper is in our closet.

And finally I have been trying to find The dress. All the dresses I've tried have been beautifull, but I still haven't found the one. Our wedding plans are advancing slowly but surely.

 

What more could I wish for? Well.. I wish we could be in Disneyland again! Though I have managed to bring more princess-magic into my own life, Disneyland will always be my other home. So hopefully I can return atleast in memories, and write those posts about our Christmas holiday in Disney soon! 

Have Courage And Be Kind,
