This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Mandy!
It has been many years since I read the book Alice in Wonderland, but I remember the story being full of talking animals, crazy queens, and a shrinking girl. As I child I loved the story of Alice and was curious to see Tim Burton’s take on the story.
The new movie Alice in Wonderland finds Alice, now 19, back in Wonderland. There is much debate by the characters in Wonderland if Alice is the real “Alice” and even Alice herself doesn’t seem to remember being there before. Once in Wonderland, Alice needs to rescue a myriad of characters from the Red Queen and keep herself from losing her own head.
My older children loved this movie as it was packed with action and adventure and is visually amazing. There are numerous scary scenes so I would not recommend it for young children unless you have previewed it first.
At one point Alice says, “Sometimes I believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” I smiled when she said that line, as I tend to wake up believing each day will be a great day, even if that seems impossible! I believe there will be no fighting between siblings, no scraped knees or stubbed toes, everyone will remember to share, pick up their toys, and finish their school with a cheerful attitude. Some days we achieve the impossible, others we miss the mark, but I have faith for each day we are given.
Alice in Wonderland was released on DVD and Blu-ray June 1, 2010. Disney has given me an Alice In Wonderland Combo Pack, which includes the film on DVD, Blu-ray, and Digital Download to giveaway to one of my readers. To be entered to win leave a comment letting me know an impossible thing you believe before breakfast. This giveaway is open to U.S. and Canadian residents and ends June 9, 2010.
when i wake up i think of a beautiful day with my granddaughter (who i babysit) having someone her own age to play with that day.
I believe that my bed-head is tamable!
We will have a happy day without squabbles.
Some days I wake up and think that I will be patient the entire day, and won’t let the little things bother me. With 9 children, this is impossible except for the grace that God gives me each day.
I wake up believing that my 3 year old slept in her own bed all night…until I wake up and see that she snuck into bed in the middle of the night….like she does everynight:)
i believe in quiet mornings, even as we’re all bustling around the house getting ready for our own individual day.
Every morning when I wake up, I think I will manage to avoid all sweets, stay away from soda, and run three miles. I’ve managed one of them on different days, but never all three in one day!
I will do my exercise video today!
Every morning I think my 18 month old will sleep past 6.
I believe that TODAY will be the day that my three year old will be fully potty-trained
Every morning I think that I will actually accomplish everything on my to do list
A few thoughts that I want to believe as I prepare to seize the day each morning include: the work day will pass quickly so I can return home to my little girl, my daughter will decide to eat her food-not play in it, and I will have the motivation to tackle both my at work and at home to-do lists!
I believe that I can get all my chores done with the help of my sweet 2 year old
I believe that this will be the morning that hubby wakes up and gets the kids ready for school.
Every morning before breakfast I believe world peace is possible.
Every morning I believe that we will have a peaceful and orderly morning where everyone remembers their manners and forgets how to shout and that the five of us will get out the door on time.
I believe that I can actually accomplish everything on my ‘To – Do’ list!
I believe I’ll be the patient, kind, attentive Mom my kids deserve. Too often, I fall short, but you have to keep believing and keep trying!
It’s impossible to think I’ll get out of bed and run in the mornings! But oh would I love the energy to do it!
I believe that my 4 year old would happily take a nap everyday.
An impossible thought for this morning…. that I might actually win a great give away!!
I wake up believing that my 15 year old son will be respectful, obedient and will not pick fights with his 8 and 7 year old sisters.
That today will be the day my mother in law will respect me as a wife and a mother. Just equal.
1) That my “inbox” will be empty before bed.
2) That I will clear out said “inbox” early enough to spend some time relaxing.
3) That I won’t be running late all day.
4) That all meals will be perfectly balanced and nutritious.
5) That I’ll be perfectly patient with my husband and son.
6) That my husband and I will communicate pefectly and every moment will be pure bliss.
Impossible thougts…goals…what’s the difference. I’m definitely an optimist.:)
I believe that I’ll get all my list done for once
I believe that all will get accomplished, that my teens will be cheerful, that my toddlers will share and that I’ll be a better mother today than I was yesterday.
I wake up believing that there will be no fighting between my 4 boys for one full day… lol
I believe my 3 kids will stay asleep until I’ve finished my coffee!
I wake up thinking everyday will be beautiful weather, even during New England winters. If its not beautiful I try to see the silver lining!
I wake up thinking that I will actually have time to exercise!
I believe that I will treat all the clients that I support with patience
and talk them through their crisis and that we will work together
to find the solution.
Thank you for the great offer! My daughter loves Alice in Wonderland.
This will make a great gift for her. She is 30 years old and will always be my little girl.
Each morning I seem to believe that today I will be FINISHED with the laundry. Why do I believe this? I will NEVER be done w/the laundry… there’s always more.
Every day I believe it will be a perfect hair day. Ha!
Every morning I believe I can accomplish my to-do list. Sometimes I can, usually I can’t…but a girl can dream!
I believe that I will be able to get all the sleep I need without my kids bursting into my bedroom. Impossible. Oh, wait–that happened this morning! The kids are at grandma’s!
Every morning I wake up believing the impossible…that the morning will go smoothly and the kids won’t fight.

That I won’t get tired as the day goes on, like I’ll have super mommy powers or something, we have 4 munchkins 8 and under with another on the way due in November…….Very rarely does this ever happen, but if I focus on God and what he says things seem to go much more smoothly…..{:0)
I wake up thinking that it’s saturday and I can be home with my kids all day. Instead it’s usually a weekday but I always have saturday to look forward to.
That my 3 year old will not destroy something in the house that day.
I believe that I will accomplish ONE THING from my to do list.
That my girls will share with each other!~ (they’re one and three!)
I’ll be able to finish my cup of coffee before the children wake up.
My impossible thing… that I’ll have energy to get everything done (31 weeks pregnant with my third… a 2 and a 3 1/2 year old already)
I think my impossible thought is that someone would make me breakfast for once =)
I believe every morning that I am going to get all three kids out of the house, to three different schools, and then that I will make it to work ~ all on time and all without any fighting (or forgeting something along the way). While that did not happen today (my duaghter forgot her math book), Monday will be a new day to try all over again!! lol
Everyday I think maybe this day will be a little less rushed.
Hmm – I think my kids will get up and get their AM chores done and we will start school at 9… every morning I think that will happen but it almost never does.
I think I will get everything done on my to-do list for the day and that I will not be stressed out.
i believed that someday i’ll be able to get affordable health insurance despite my cancer
I try to believe that I’ll be able to keep my house in some semblance of order until lunch. Doesn’t usually happen with my kiddos around, though.
I think that I will be able to clean the house, go to work, go to school, and still have energy!
Before breakfast I believe I can eat healthy all day!
That I’ll get everything on my to-do list done and remain stress-free all day.
I believe that it IS possible to have a day without spills.
I will get everything on my to-do list completed that day!
I wake up and believe that I will catch up on all those school papers! And before I graduate no less!
I believe my husband will be home at a decent hour…
I believe and pray that today this war will end, my husband (and all of the soldiers) will be coming home tomorrow, and there won’t be anymore bloodshed. (Wild I know but through God, anything is possible!)
I believe that somehow, someway, I will be able to time naps so that everyone is asleep at the same time, and on a good day, that includes me.
I wake up and believe that everyone at my work will get along and stop the “he-said,she-said.”
I believe my 3 1/2 month old daughter will not drop her pacifier all day!
I wake up and believe that I will be ON….On time…On target…On the ball……It’s all good. If I wake up with a smile….i usually almost always do…I figure I am already ahead of the game..of life!
i believe that my house will have been magically cleaned and organized the night before while i slept.
I believe that I will get everything done that day.
I believe that I can get everything done around the house and still have the energy and time to workout! Running around after the kids will have to remain my main workout regimen.
I believe that maybe, just maybe, my family will let me sleep in
I always wake up believing I’ll be able to get my boys to school on time.
Everyday I wake up wishing, hoping, and (if I’m in an optimistic mood) believing that: my husband will take the princess to daycare and for once I wont be late for work, my husband will spend the evening at home with me and the three of us will all play together, there will be no fighting, and my husband and I will actually make our marriage work, rediscover the love we once had and grow to be an adorable old couple. Some days these things seem more possible than others.
That I will be able to accomplish my to do list
I like to believe each morning that I will be productive and that things will function the way they’re meant to.
I believe that every one will get along and we’ll have a tantrum free day.
That it will finally be sunny and warm!
I believe that my boss will stay off my tail!!
I believe that the ants I have been fighting tooth and nail will not continue to infiltrate my herb garden and ruin all my hard work!
i believe that i will be a picture of Christ’s love to all of those around me…..even when they upset me.
My impossible is that my feeling won’t be hurt, thus ruining the rest of the day.
This morning I hoped that the forecast was wrong and it wouldn’t be 100. That didn’t happen so I may melt soon.
I imagine that I’ll be able to get through my “to do” list, stay on time for things and remaining happy and patient with my children!
I believe that I’ll be able to get both kids to their ballgames and watch them play, even though they are on different fields, in different parts of town – at the same time.
I believe my children will actually behave and not throw tempertantrums.
I believe that I will get to check of everything on my to-do list by the end of the day.
I dream that I won’t have to leave bed all day!
I believe that the kids will make their own breakfast….they’re 4 and 1.
I believe that I will someday be able to make mass quantities of cookie dough part of my regular diet without being fat/bulemic/malnourished. *sigh*
\
i believe that i will finally find the perfect job close to my house and will no longer have an hour drive each way to work anymore
Every day, when I wake up, I believe that my kids will get along, all day!
I “believe” that I will get up early before everyone.
I believe that I’ll be able to get 100 things done that day.
my house will be ready for the movers to come, that the humidity will NOT damage anything while floating on the Pacific Ocean and all my items that have been in storage over the last 6 years will ALL be accounted for and not damaged. Ha ha ha
Each day I wake up and remind myself that I have the ability to control my own attitude no matter what life throws at me that day. I wake up believing that if I keep my attitude positive, the day will follow.
Before breakfast I believe that I will do my share to keep the world from falling apart.
I usually try to believe I will get most of the daily cleaning done before noon, usually I get distracted though!
I’m not exactly sure I believe in anything impossible that early in the morning, but I know that I HOPE I won’t sin against my kids with my selfishness, similarly I HOPE they won’t sin against me or each other with the same vice.
i believe i’ll WANT to exercise when i get home from a long day at work…
Impossible thing I believe before breakfast: I believe that it’s summer break and I can laze around all day. And then I remember that I have a full-time job and need to work all summer.
(But today my impossible thing is true – I love weekends!)
Thank you for the giveaway – I love this movie.

Every morning, I wake up believing that I will not loose my patience as my 4 year old toes the line, that I won’t join into the yelling as my 7 and 6 year old argue over toys, and the 4 yr old joins in. I believe that my 4 month old will get a full nap and will move his feedings to every 4 hrs. I believe that I will remember to pray about each thing that occurs that day, and that I will be a good example to my children of Gods love and grace, and I believe that I will still have enough time left in my day to work of that baby weight!
My children will not argue today:-)
Every Single day I start the day praying for no more hatred and prejudiced in the world. Sounds extreme but it gets me through the day.
When I first wake up, I think to myself, “Somehow, some way…I WILL finish all of my grad school work on time and still have a moment to relax.” This is not often the case!
The impossible thing I believe almost every morning is that the house will be cleaner at the end of the day than at the beginning!
That I’ll be productive and complete everything on my to do list
I wake up thinking the house is clean. HA!
I believe that my children will play happily , we will get all school work accomplished without complaint, and that I’ll get all meals fed to them on time.
That today is the day I’ll give up caffeine.
That there will be no whining today.
I wake up believing that I will exercise, clean the house, be dressed and pretty all before breakfast…just wishful thinking, I guess.
I try to believe or pretend that surely I’m on vacation somewhere!!
I believe that I will get caught up on my laundry and housework!
i believe i’ll wake up to a clean house. truly the impossible.
I believe I’m going to get better and find a solution to my chronic pain!
I wake up believing that something exciting will happen! And the great thing is that while most time BIG EXCITEMENT doesn’t happen…it only increases the anticipation so when it does come its twice as sweet!:)
Hope for a healthy and energetic day!
I believe that my kids could go though a day without fighting.
That I will have the patience of a saint. Heh.
I believe that I will awaken and have all the energy need to finish all I have to get done in one day without feeling exhausted before 10pm!
I believe that TODAY will be the day that I begin my diet and exercise plan

I believe that my house will magically clean itself…oneday!

When i awake i believe that today is the day when all our problems will be handled and my life will be put back together the way it is supposed to be with no anxiety, no disability’s for me or my son, and no money stress. What a glorious day that would be.
Honestly I tell myself I won’t get upset with my children. I will have lots of patience…I can at least try to believe that, right?! =)
That my house will stay clean all day and that my children will pick up all of their own toys.
Thank you for the chance to win.

I believe that I will get a raise when I get to work!!!
I believe that I’ll be able to get done a third of the things I need to get done today actually done.
I believe I will have the twins nap for 2 + hours so I can eat lunch, workout and clean up in those 2 hours. I believe my 6 year old will be a great listener for the day and we will get to have fun times rather than time outs. I believe I will go to grocery store with 3 kids in tow and not have a nervous breakdown from the chaos that surrounds us.
I believe I can eat breakfast before my kids announce “I’m hungry” for the second time in the day. In almost 6 years it hasn’t happened yet… hope springs eternal!
I always believe that I might have time to read a chapter of a good book for myself and take a nap when the baby naps (always impossible since I am the mother of 6 children, with one blessing being autistic and I homeschool all of them).I have fell in love with your site.Lot’s of great info that you post.Thanks for all the time that you put into it to help others.May God bless you!!
I try to believe that my entire day will finally be organized enough to go smoothly. It usually starts off that way but half way through the day there is always something. I just try to laugh it off and say “oh well guess we will try again tomorrow!”
I believe my kids might actually sleep in today!
Sometimes I believe I will actually finish everything on my to-do list that day… until I have my breakfast and coffee and realize it’s an impossible task!
