I didn't think I knew the song based on the title, but recognized it once you started singing thanks to the many years I listened to CBS-FM, the local oldies station here in New York when I was growing up. That song was a welcome blast from the past, made even more enjoyable by London's cameo. And the word nerd in me loves the phrase "pumpkin giggles turned to pterodactyl screams." Keep up the great work, Brooke!Tony Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107595099012134607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061588009611910262.post-18393767865773770212013-02-22T14:11:35.441-08:002013-02-22T14:11:35.441-08:00I LOVE this!

And your sweet loo playing the drums :) just a comment from a fast efficient decisive person, I was never ever late anywhere then 3 years ago I had my amazing 1st son and when he was only 8 mos old I found out I was having another one! So now I have 2 spunky boys who are the loves of my life and I wouldn't change anything- buuuut I'm late EVERYWHERE! Like can't be on time to save my life, people even know now so we are meeting at 12:30 so ill get there at 12:45... I can never start early enough haha, but I wouldn't change it! I love my boys :) and there is something endearing about indecisive people anyway, they are always sweeter than us blunt decisive ones :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746732189914921301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061588009611910262.post-77562900542276594372013-02-20T21:20:22.676-08:002013-02-20T21:20:22.676-08:00My goodness.

I had a moment where it hit me...focus on being great at one thing, rather than good at many things. I'm not saying this is you also, I'm just saying that I know that feeling of being spread thin and feeling frustrated and disappointed in yourself because you know you could have done something better, or quicker, or craftier, or whatever. But we can't do it all--although, you're probably the person I know who get's as close to 100% awesome at all things as is humanly possible! At the end of the day, you are an example and an inspiration--the end. xoxo!ashley @ little miss mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17604486090862787985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061588009611910262.post-52743462873563395742013-02-20T20:24:19.767-08:002013-02-20T20:24:19.767-08:00Love it!

As I watched that sweet video I couldn't stop smiling :) My youngest of three is very close in age to little London and so watching her is always so sweet. Listen. Mommyhood is not easy- and when you add on all the other stuff it can be a little overwhelming! I've been there. I have a photography business and when it first started up I would promise pictures by "this day" but life (ahem, babies) would interrupt and I seemed to be always late. Add on top of that church obligations, my family blog that I have to keep up to date, the friends you have to be a friend to, your FAMILY and it just gets to be draining. The guilt!!! It's not like I was trying to be late, you know? You do what you can. Know that you are good enough- more than that actually. Maybe don't give yourself a deadline for this... some things don't need deadlines. No need for added stress in your life if you don't need it. With my photography, I started giving a window of time rather than a set "1 week" or "2 weeks". It made things a LOT less stressful. Then when I actually got it done early I would feel good, but if I was toward the end of the window at least I was still within it and I wouldn't feel so guilty. I think we would all love surprises for WHEN you can get something up during the week. Maybe you could call it "Surprise music day" or something. Maybe a more clever name ha ha. Hang in there- because your music touches so many people- on time or late :) (I must say though- I really hope that you do the cover for Close to You in the near future!)

I asked you to sign my book and told you I was LDS as well. We talked for a little bit and then you flipped open to your page in the book and wrote (in your beautiful handwriting, by the way) "Stay Strong, Girl." As a junior in high school, struggling to find out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life, you changed me. It may seem silly, but as I got home that night and read what you wrote, I thought to myself, "I want to be like her someday." I have always admired you, from your very first audition, to the night I met you, and still today. You radiate the pure love of Christ in all that you do. Your light and happiness inspire me to be better, even when I feel overwhelmed, behind, and completely frazzled. You are so genuine and I love reading your blog and seeing your pictures on Instagram. Keep on singing, smiling, and being you. London is so lucky to have you as her mom! Thank you for your example of humility, love, and awesomeness. Shower the people you love with love, and stay strong girl! :) Kirsten https://www.blogger.com/profile/01594928428219435237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061588009611910262.post-64153037708416825372013-02-20T11:04:46.992-08:002013-02-20T11:04:46.992-08:00Brooke, your words are a rarity - open and honest ...Brooke, your words are a rarity - open and honest while inspired all at the same time.

And didn't the struggles make today's success so much sweeter? Sometimes the hardest person to disappoint is yourself. I'm very guilty of similar situations, didn't post it Monday, feel so defeated that I finally got it up the next day, etc. (just with various little things) just remember that we love to hear your beautiful voice any day of the week, and it's okay to give yourself a day off for little deadlines like this. (My favorite thing is President Uchtforf's "forget not..." Five things talk. Every time I read it I remember to be a little more gentle with myself (so hard!) and others)<br /><br />Here's a virtual hug, beautiful lady.

All I wanted to say is that your voice brings so much joy to my day. So whenever you're ready and have time to share just know that I enjoy it.
