Sunset Diaries

Sunset Diaries is a hodgepodge of photographs, personal recordings, words I live by or was struck by and other random things I want to remember in the future and had the time, patience and presence of mind to post. I am Oli - a rambling, crazy, somewhat idealistic bubble of a person who frequently bursts into song, finds joy in simple things like children, performing, good conversations, learning, quality time with family and friends, musical theater, a good book, beaches, art, and all things made by God.

My student’s drawing of Atlantis’ Little Mermaid! He is a big fan of Disney princesses and Little Mermaid is at the tippy top of his list (yes, he’s a he)! Look how accurate his drawing is! From the sleeves to the leg/tail!

S: This is Ariel singing on the show.
Ms. Carol: What did you think of the show?
S: So good. It was like totally awesome!

We’re going to Kentucky

We’re going to the fair

To see a senorita with a flower in her hair

Oh, shake it, baby, shake it!

Shake it if you can

Shake it like a milk shake

And drink it if you can

Oh, rumble to the bottom

Rumble to the top

And turn around and turn around

And turn around and STOP

— A new song I learned from one of my little preschooler bundles of joy! Imagine it being sung by a 3 yr old with an aussie accent! It’s quite possibly the most adorable thing ever.
