Little girl is “dancing like nobody’s watching” after her mom tells her not to run at the store

Little children throwing tantrums in public is a sight that we witness too often nowadays. I guess that when we were kids ourselves, we were more obedient and somewhat more afraid of our parents than children are nowadays. The reason why is that most parents spoil their little ones rotten and fulfill their every wish, so the youngsters are simply used to getting things whenever they want that.

Some children, however, don’t cry and scream when they want things to be done their way, but find ways of playing around with their moms and dads. Well, just like this cutie pie in the video below.

Zoe and her mom are at the store when she starts running. Her mom then shouts, “No running, no running,” and it takes around 30 seconds for Zoe to come up with a strategy. So, instead of running, she decides to dance as she walks.

The video of Zoe has been seen over 6 million times and people say things like: “What a great listener! No tantrums or running faster…she walked while dancing and looked like she was just happy.”

This little girl thought out of the box and showed incredible intelligence. And yes, she made us all laugh.

Chef Millie Peartree was forced to shut her restaurant down, but she now feeds thousands of children

This Chinese proverb says, “When the winds of change blow, some people build walls and others build windmills.” In life, we should all do our best to be those who embrace the change and try to make the best out of it, no matter how scary it looks at first.

One renowned chef is an example that we should never give up on our dreams, even during this pandemic that changed our lives completely.

Chef Millie Peartree had been running her own restaurant in Bronx until 2019, but someone messed with her gas lines and she was forced to close the place indefinitely.

Having to find a way out, she turned to the catering business, but then the pandemic struck and she was once again left jobless. However, Chef Millie was then contacted by the InStyle magazine and was offered to prepare meals for USPS workers and hospital staff on behalf of the magazine. She was more than happy to accept this offer, and soon after, she prepared 6,000 meals.

Once this project was over, this incredible woman decided to go on with it, but his time, her focus was on the children of Bronx.

Speaking to Today, she said: “I would pivot my efforts toward feeding children because I knew that some of the city’s food distribution programs had been canceled or reduced due to the pandemic. I created Full Heart Full Bellies to provide prepared meals for children in grades K through 12, from July 6 to Aug. 28, in the Bronx, which is the poorest of the five boroughs.”

Each week, Chef Millie’s organization prepares 1,800 nutritionally balanced meals. She’s doing all this with the help of huge companies such as Audi, Coca-Cola, Amazon, Barilla, and local business and non-profit organizations. Through the GoFundMe she started, Chef Millie was able to raise over $60,000.

Her project is still ongoing and she’s urging others to help feed the hungry and vulnerable as well because that’s the only way to cope with the pandemic. “When we talk about social justice, we often get hung up on the hashtag instead of the actual work. You may not march, but maybe you can feed a protester. After the money is donated, what can we do in the community to change things?” she says.

Take a look at her interview with CBS New York below.

Health workers stuck in a snowstorm administer COVID-19 vaccines to other drivers so they won’t go to waste

Absolutely every single person on the planet has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic one way or another. But we all have to agree that those on the front line, the doctors and the nurses, are the backbone of the health systems and are in most risk of contracting the deadly virus. Yet, they are on the job every single day and work long hours and often times double shifts in order to provide help to each and every patient out there.

The staff and the volunteers at Josephine County Public Health are just some of the workers who risk it all for the safety of us all. A few days back, a group of them headed from Illinois Valley High School, around 160 miles south of Eugene, a city in Oregon, to another clinic in Grants Pass to administer vaccines.

However, the weather was pretty bad and it was snowing heavily, so they found themselves stranded on the Highway 199.

The vaccines could only be kept for a couple of hours before they could no longer be used. Not wanting for the six leftover Moderna doses to expire, Michael Weber, Josephine County’s public health director, told The Washington Post: “We knew the vaccine would not make it back to Grants Pass. In all likelihood, it was going to expire. I decided to start going door-to-door, car-to-car, offering the vaccine.”

There was also an ambulance on standby for safety.

In no time, the health workers found six people who were more than happy to finally get the vaccine. Speaking to The New York Times, Weber said:  “We had one individual who was so happy, he took his shirt off and jumped out of the car,” and described this operation as one of the coolest he has ever taken part in.

Christi Siedlecki, one of the twenty health workers spoke to NBC News and said she felt proud seeing her team did all they could in order for the vaccines not to be wasted. “It is important for people to know how dedicated health professionals are to getting every single dose into people. My community should be so proud. I am,” she said.

We are very proud of these people who are taking care of our well-being as well. If it wasn’t for their dedication and hard work, the situation with the pandemic could be much worse than it is already. Doctors and nurses from all around the world, you are our heroes.

Everyone on the planet should see this one minute animal video

Nothing speaks love and compassion louder than unlike animal friendships that light our days like sunshine rays on cloudy days.

The most watched ad of all time featuring different species sharing happy moments together reminds us of the beauties of life. We don’t have to be same in order to respect each other.

The Android ad spreads the message that says, “Be Together, Not The Same” through series of images between animals of different kinds that found friends in one another. So if you’ve never seen a dog and a dolphin swimming together, or a bear and tiger nuzzling then this is your chance.

We have to agree that Android did awesome job with their ad and really stood out. They showed us the core of our existence and inspired us to share love with everyone around us putting aside the differences in our religious beliefs, our skin color, or our social status.

“Friends Furever” will make your day as it did to the millions of people who got to see it.

This is definitely a must see. Get ready for your hearts to be melted.

Leachman’s career was rich and spanned more than seven decades. She was a versatile actress who showed excellence in both comedy and drama, although comedy seemed to be her thing. In one occasion, during an interview with ET in 1982, she said: “I adore comedy. I like to do it over and over again until I just get sick of it. If something is funny, oh do it again. Part of it is common experience. I have experienced everything that any woman could have experienced. There is nothing you can name that I have not experienced, that I can think of.”

Leachman received a number of awards during the years, including an Academy Award for best-supporting actress in 1971 and eight Emmys.

According to a statement released by her publicist Juliet Green, the actress died at her home in Encinitas, California. Green wrote: “It’s been my privilege to work with Cloris Leachman, one of the most fearless actresses of our time. There was no one like Cloris. With a single look she had the ability to break your heart or make you laugh ’till the tears ran down your face. You never knew what Cloris was going to say or do and that unpredictable quality was part of her unparalleled magic.”

“She loved her children and her grandchildren ferociously,” the statement went on to say. “A lifelong vegetarian, she was a passionate advocate for animal rights. The family requests that any donations in her name be made to PETA or Last Chance for Animals.”

Leachman had five children, four sons and daughter. Her son Brian died in 1986 from a suspected accidental overdose of ulcer medication.

Rest in peace to a true legend.

The company behind the creation of this one-of-a-kind home is the Lindcroft Custom Dwellings owned by Daniel Huscroft and Tim Lindberg. Speaking of this captivating project. Huscroft said: “The inspiration came from the idea of building a whimsical cottage by the sea and capturing elements of fairy tale and storybook designs to complement the natural surroundings.”

The interior of this “once upon a time” 500-square-foot home is in fact contemporary. It has stainless steel appliances and a glass shower, as well as a lofted bedroom. But despite this, it still offers a rustic vibe and an incredible view.

I don’t know about you, but I would die to spend a night in this cottage.

7-year-old boy runs back inside a burning home to save his baby sister

Not all heroes wear capes, and sometimes, they come in the form of a 7-year old who shows more bravery than most adult people.

That night on December 9th of 2020 was just an ordinary one for a family of five residing in New Tazewell, Tennessee. Mom and dad Nicole and Chris Davidson put their three kids to bed and nothing spoke trouble as they headed to their bedroom themselves.

Deep into the night, Nicole was suddenly woken up by the smell of smoke. In the next moment, she realized the house was on fire. The flames started spreading really quickly and she and her husband managed to get two of the kids out, while the youngest one, 22-month-old Erin, was still trapped in her room.

“The smoke and fire was so thick there was no way I could get to her,” Chris Davidson said, according to CNN.

But then, as they thought Erin wouldn’t be able to get out of the burning place, her 7-year-old brother Eli stepped in and saved the day by saving her life. It was a tense situation that required a lot of courage.

“We went outside to get to her from the window, but there was nothing for me to stand on to reach up there,” Chris explained. “So I picked up Eli, who went through the window and was able to grab her from her crib.”

At the time the firefighters arrived, the house was no longer there, the flames caught up everything, but at least no one from the family members suffered any serious injuries. They all made it out alive.

Speaking to CNN, the hero of the day, Eli, said, “I thought I couldn’t do it, but then I said, ‘I got her, dad’. I was scared, but I didn’t want my sister to die.”

Twitter

Nicole and Chris are former firefighters themselves. They have fostered 34 children throughout the years, including Eli, and the two others that were in the house that night are their adopted children.

“We lost everything that we have ever had,” Chris said.“Our entire lives were in that home. Our three cars were also damaged in the fire. It’s devastating. We have nothing. You have never been as humble as you are when you don’t even have your own underwear to wear.”

A GoFundMe page was set up for the Davidsons and so far, over $350,000 have been raised.

Beyond cute conversation between a baby girl and her great-grandmother is melting hearts

A lot has been said of the positive impact and influence grandparents have on their grandchildren. Those who don’t get to grow up around a grandma or a grandpa miss a lot in their life, because the love and the care the elderly are willing to provide is unique and unconditional, and unlike any other form of affection one will get during their lifetime.

YouTube

Our grandparents are our best friends, and when the moms and dads say no to something, these special human beings are there to spoil the little ones rotten. However, it’s not just the kids who benefit from their relationship with their grandparents, but the elderly as well. It has been scientifically proven that being around their grandchildren, the lifespan of the grandparents increases, as well as their level of happiness.

YouTube

The video below shows an incredibly cute interaction between a baby and her great-grandmother. We all know that when they are very little, babies only communicate using their hands and some baby language that no one understands. That, however, doesn’t stop this lady from answering back to the chatty little girl.

Seeing them talk to one another back and forth melts our hearts. These two really have a very special connection. Check them out below.
