Real Life Up!

National Geographic has a show that will premier this fall called, "How Hard Could It Be?" On one of their episodes they attached a bunch of huge balloons to a small house, just like the house in the Pixar movie Up!

Here's a shot of the house up in the sky! Each of the 300 balloons when inflated was 8' tall, causing the house to rise 10,000' into the air!

My favorite thing is the bright colors of the balloons - such a happy little house floating through the sky!

I found some happy little "Up" inspired items on Etsy!

This Up in the Air Print is on a Dictionary page, what a cool piece from TheLittleRice

thepapercrown1 has this fabulous little greeting card in stock.

Such a great motivational print from thiswayup1

The Sing Off

I am absolutely hooked on this show on NBC.
It takes what I love about Glee - the singing - and subtracts all of the sub par acting...
minus Jane Lynch, who in my opinion is a genius.

Check out this video... There are no instruments, just voices...
This song gave me the chills last week!
This group - Committed is FABULOUS!


Hunky Fiance says I'm a dork for being hooked to this show... After he watched one episode he was a dork too.

Seriously - Love this show!

Another thing I'm a fan of - The host, Nick Lachey
Judge: Ben Folds - so cutely awkward
Judge: Shawn Stockman from Boys to Men
Judge: Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussy Cat Dolls

All of these people who are involved in hosting/judging seem to have such great chemistry.
In my opinion the show just works, displaying true talent and keeping me tuning in week after week!

You can catch up by watching full episodes of The Sing Off online!

Here are some fabulous items that remind me of The Sing Off!
