Missing New York

It's no secret that I love New York. I was incredibly jealous of all the girls who were able to attend the Smart Girls Conference last week (still not completely over it, but somehow life will go on). I'm already planning a trip for October -- how convenient is it that Mom's fall break and my birthday weekend fall at the same time? 

Anyway, I was looking through pictures from my past trips to the big apple and thought it would be fun to share some of the "artsy" ones (ha!) with y'all. Happy #FlashbackFriday!

I can't wait to go back! Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to meet Carly or Hallie for coffee (and not fangirl all over the place). 

What are some of your favorite spots in the city? 

Matilda Madness

I cannot stop listening to the soundtrack from Matilda the Musical!

I've mentioned my love of musicals before, and I don't know how I hadn't gotten into Matilda before now! It gets bonus points because Matilda was one of my favorite movies and books when I was little! My friends and I would play Matilda (one of us would point at a toy and the other would move it around!)

I haven't seen it, but I know show really has a great message. The songs are Just. So. Catchy.

I'm seriously contemplating voice lessons because I've been singing "Naughty," "Quiet," and "Revolting Children" nonstop!

And how adorable are the original Matildas from the New York show??

It's impossible to pick a favorite! They are all so cute!

This obsession may have started before I watched the Broadway.com video blog Looks Not Books, but now I cannot get enough of Matilda! 

If you don't believe me, go listen to soundtrack previews right now! 

I'm in the process of planning a weekend trip to NYC just to see this show.

I like to listen to soundtracks a lot. Movie soundtracks are always fun because the songs are usually all a little taste of something different!

What are some of your favorite soundtracks right now? Broadway or movie!
