The Sound of Music has inspired me on so many levels. As a child, I wanted to keep my hair like Gretl von Trapp {the youngest kid}, learn to play the guitar and oh yes, run on the hills and lay in the grass to sing, be free and "climb every mountain, ford every stream, follow every rainbow, until you find your dream..." {lyrics from Climb Every Mountain sung by the Mother Abbess by the way}.
Looking back, I realise that I was inspired by Maria von Trapp {played by Julie Andrews} to be the kind of mother that I want to be as well.

This is the kind of mother that I aspire to be. There are of course days when I feel that I'm worst mother in the world and beat myself up over it, but when I see how happy, spirited and healthy Lil Pumpkin is, I realise that hey, I must be doing something right :)
The Sound of Music is definitely a favourite on our family movie playlist. I hope Lil Pumpkin will grow up having fond memories of watching it with me, just as I have the best childhood memories of watching it with my mother :)

I looooove Sound of Music!!
That was such a great movie! I need to rent it and watch it with my girls. I am always singing the songs from it. I am sure they would like to know where they came from lol.
Hehe I love Maria too! Wasn't thinking about motherhood way back when I watched this though! Rather, I wished for that big family!!! :)
Ooh I watched Sound of Music a zillion times too. I must say I loved how she sewed clothes for all of them from curtains.
