As the whole country prayed for little Faye Swetlik to be brought home safe, authorities came forward with the tragic news of her death.

The six-year-old was reported missing on Monday after she disappeared from the family’s home front yard where she was playing after getting back from school.

Police activity was intensified in the Churchill Heights neighborhood and the yellow crime tape prevented anyone from coming in, even the residents.

Houses, vehicles, and a great area of the wood and landfill was thoroughly searched.

Faye’s lifeless body was found on Thursday around 11 a.m not far from where she was last seen. Authorities launched a homicide investigation but didn’t report how the girl died.

“It is with extremely heavy hearts that we’re announcing we have found the body, that the coroner has identified as Faye Marie Swetlik,” Cayce Director of Public Safety Byron Snellgrove told reporters. “We are now treating this case as a homicide.”

Officers found another body in the same area. It was of a deceased male who hasn’t been identified. They, however, believe the two cases aren’t related.

No arrests have been made so far, but the Lexington County Coroner’s Office reported how the community shouldn’t feel endangered as they are doing their best to solve the case and are asking from the public to come forward with any information that would help the investigation.

Sweet Faye was a vibrant little girl who loved art and had lots of friends. Her teachers, her classmates, and the whole community is left heartbroken and mourns her loss.

Police shared a touching post on their Facebook page assuring Faye’s family and the country this case is far from over. We honestly hope who ever committed this horrific crime would end up behind bars as soon as possible.

Rest in peace little angel!

Mom Who Had a Hard Time Getting Pregnant Ended Up Delivering 3 Sets of Twins in 5 Years

Most couple’s biggest dream is to become parents one day. For some, that comes naturally and with ease, but others spend years of trying before they welcome their bundle of joy into the world and into their lives. The latter often seek help from doctors, and they usually end up with miracle pregnancies.

Andrea and Mark Rivas were over the moon when they learned they were expecting a baby. Sadly, they experienced a miscarriage, and no matter how deep that affected them, they never stopped trying. After two years of unsuccessful attempts they underwent an IVF procedure and became parents of twins Conor and Avery.

Their fertility journey was filled with many sleepless nights, many mixed emotions, but at the end, it brought them children and friends for life. Sandi and Philip Palmisano were also trying to conceive for a longer period of time, but unlike Andrea and Mark, their treatments always failed.

Having experienced the struggle themselves, the Rivas knew what their new friends were going through so they decided to step in. Andrea offered to be their surrogate and Sandi and Philip were beyond thankful.

During a check-up, the families learned Andrea was carrying twins again, and the Palmisanos couldn’t hide their excitement. Andrea helped them fulfill their greatest wish of becoming a mom and a dad.

In February 2014, the Palmisano family got bigger. The new additions, babies EmmaLee and Grayson made their world a better place all thanks to Andrea and her husband.

The life of both the families was a busy one. They had their hands full with work around the little ones who became best friends just like their parents.

After the kids became toddlers, more great news came in. Andrea and Mark were expecting again and the ultrasound revealed something truly incredible. Are you guessing already? They were having twins again.

This story is so uplifting that it makes us become better people ourselves and do good for others the way the Rivas did for the Palmisanos.

Teacher Is Moved to Tears After Students Pitch in to Replace His Stolen Shoes

By

Teachers probably have one of the hardest jobs, not to mention they are neither paid, nor respected enough, but still, seeing their students turn into respected citizens and members of the community knowing they had their share is sometimes enough.

We have heard of many stories where teachers go above and beyond for their students. They take it personally and not only make sure to pass down knowledge to everyone in their classroom, but also make sure they teach the students valuable life lessons.

One teacher in particular, named Trey Payne from the Logan Fontenelle Middle School, can say he did right job educating his students when it comes to practicing positive values and principles.

Namely, he bought himself some expensive basketball shoes recently and was glad he did, but someone stole them from his classroom. He could barely afford to get them in the first place, so replacing them with another pair was practically impossible.

His students knew how sad it all made Mr. Payne so they decided to surprise him.

They gave him a gift bag and a card and asked him to read it aloud. It can be seen from the video taken by one of the students that Mr. Payne is in complete disbelief. He reads the card silently and then reaches to open the bag.

As he pulls the paper out of the gift bag, he can see there is a box inside and says, “I hope this isn’t shoes guys…Oh my…are you serious?”

He then opens it and sees brand new shows. This made him cry tears of joy as he couldn’t believe what he students did for him.

His reaction is as touching as the students’ act of kindness.

This teacher got his favorite sneakers stolen, so his students bought him a new pair of KD 12s. 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/mOXf9pEsHI

Speaking to KETV ABC 7, Mr. Payne said: “It’s more than a pair of shoes. It’s about doing things to build everyone up around you. I try to show my kids this and I think the lesson has sunk in for many, in turn, reaffirming my purpose and my ideals.”

What do you think of what the students did for their favorite teacher?

Woman Undergoes a Total of 9 Plastic Surgery Procedures In Order to Look Like Ivanka Trump

By

Monica Pop

With all those TV shows and popular magazines showing celebrities and their lavish lifestyle and looks, it doesn’t really come as a surprise that ordinary people dream of ever getting the same.

However, most of us look up to our favorite actors, singers, and other public figures completely unaware that they have a bunch of stylists and other people taking care of their looks every single day. On top of that, they have lots of money and can afford expensive clothes and make-up.

Sarah Schmidt is a lovely young lady who wasn’t satisfied with her appearance. Or better said, she just wanted to look like someone famous, in her case, the oldest daughter of President Trump, Ivanka.

In order to achieve Ivanka’s signature looks, Schmidt underwent total of 9 plastic surgeries. Sadly, most people agree that even after the weeks of healing she had to go through after the procedures, she doesn’t resemble her idol even a bit.

Vanity Fair searched a bit further and reported how all of the surgeries were done by plastic surgeon Dr. Franklin A. Rose for free. Yes, Schmidt didn’t pay a dime for her new looks.

If you wonder why would someone be so generous, it’s because Dr. Ross was convinced he can make anyone look like Ivanka, and Schmidt was up to the challenge as she wanted that really badly. So it turned into a win-win situation for both of them.

Although she looks different than before, many believe Schmidt didn’t got was she hoped for. She, on the other hand, looks happy and confident and is convinced she achieved her goal to the extent that she could be mistaken for Ivanka on the streets.

Inside Edition shared the video of Schmidt’s transformation and most of the comments are not positive.

“Spent all that money and went through the surgeries but then ended up nothing like Ivanka,” one person wrote.

“She does not look like anything like her 😬😬😬😬 ask for refund,” another added.

What about you? Do you see the resemblance?

Grief-stricken Mother Warns about the Hidden Dangers of Toothpaste after Daughter’s Death

By

Monica Pop

One grief-stricken mother is sharing her daughter’s tragic story and is warning parents of children who suffer from allergies of the hidden dangers behind products like toothpaste.

Monique Altamirano said how her 11-year-old daughter’s allergy to dairy made her overly protective. Whenever the girl was about to try new food she would spend a lot of time going through the ingredients, making sure they were completely dairy free. However, that wasn’t the case with the toothpaste little Denise was recommended by her dentist.

As it turned out, the new toothpaste, MI Paste One, contained a protein found in cow’s milk, and it was enough to sent sweet Denise into anaphylaxis, a serious allergic reaction.

The moment Denise started brushing her teeth, she felt her breathing became heavy.

Speaking to Allergic Living, Monique recalled the moment her daughter died.

“She said, ‘I think I’m having an allergic reaction to the toothpaste,’ and her lips were already blue,” says Monique. “I picked her up and put her on my bed. I ran to the living room, told my daughter – ‘Call 911!’ – and I grabbed the EpiPen.” She administered it, and gave Denise her asthma inhaler.

“She was saying, ‘Mommy, I can’t breathe.’ I was saying, ‘I love you, yes, you can ….”

Monique is begging parents and caregivers to take anaphylaxis seriously and wants them to go through the ingredients of every product their children use, no matter if it seems irrelevant.

“Read everything. Don’t get comfortable, just because you’ve been managing for several years. You can’t get comfortable or be embarrassed or afraid to ask and ensure that ingredients are OK. Be that advocate for your child,” she added.

We are extremely sorry for your loss. Rest in peace little angel.

Please share this story to pass down Monique’s warning!

Girl plays fiddle to ‘Cotton Eyed Joe’ – then adds some dance moves and earns 3.6 million views

If you are into great music and dancing, then you are at the right place. We present to you young prodigy Hillary Klung from Fayetteville, Tennessee, the winner of the National Buck Dancing Championship, 2013, and the National Old Time Buck Dancing Championship, 2019.

Combining buck dance, a type of folk tap dance, and the fiddle earned this lovely girl a huge number of followers.

People love her performances so much that some of her videos have been seen more than 3.5 million times and all for the right reasons. She truly is one of a kind and her talent is undeniable.

One of her most incredible dance routines involving playing the fiddle is that of “Cotton-Eyed Joe.” Mesmerizing both to watch and listen to, Hillary is definitely one of our favorite young musicians. She is a star in the making and her name is about to become even more popular in the years to come.

Her love for dancing was always present and she couldn’t help herself but take the ‘dance floor’ whenever she would hear some good music on the radio. But it wasn’t until she first heard a fiddle performance at a music festival that she knew that instrument was her call.

Although no one in her family is musical, Hillary is an exception. She learned from the best, including famous buck dancers and fiddle players from the South, and took parts in various competitions. In 2013, she became the Kentucky State Dance champion.

She loves both playing and dancing and as she didn’t want to neglect either of her talents, Hillary decided to combine them.

“I needed slower music for my students to be able to practice. But I couldn’t find any recordings of slow fiddle music. So I brought my fiddle and played it myself. The next week I played another tune. We started getting faster with each class until I was able to dance and play at the same time, out of necessity,” she said speaking to Strings Magazine.

Hillary wanted her passion for dance and music to be heard and seen and she decided to share it with the rest of the world when she got into busking in Nashville. She went there for a competition she was eager to attend but worried about the costs of the trip and decided to perform on the street to cover her stay there.

“Parking was, like, 20 bucks each day for two days. I didn’t know if I’d even be able to break even. But I knew that busking was a thing on Broadway, so I took my fiddle and played for 15 minutes. Nobody wanted to hear it; they just kept walking.”

Well, if you wonder why, it’s because street performing is common in Nashville, but Hillary had an ace up her sleeve, her talent for dancing.

“Then, I started dancing. I had my cowboy boots on. And everybody stopped. It was astounding. I got a $20 tip from somebody right away. That’s how I discovered that doing both together is very entertaining.”

The news of a girl who stole the hearts of the passersby spread around and many were eager to check her YouTube channel and enjoy more of what she had to offer.

Hillary is now planning on taking a tour and even adding some vocals in her performances. Well, we can’t wait to see how she would sound.

This is definitely something you wouldn’t want to miss.

Teacher’s “Petty” Note Restricting Bathroom Breaks Sparks Outrage Among Parents

By

Monica Pop

-

The general rules are that if a child wants to visit the bathroom or the nurse’s office during lesson time, they should ask their teachers for permission. And although some students tend to abuse their right to excuse themselves in order to embark on ‘adventures’ around the school halls, most only ask for permission when they really feel the need to go.

One teacher named Mrs. White from the Aspire Hanley Middle School, a charter school in Memphis, Tennessee, decided to come up with her own rules when it comes to taking bathroom breaks. Needless to say, parents were outraged about what she had to say. The mom of one of Mrs. White’s eight-grade students shared the note her kid brought home and it spread all over the Internet like a wildfire.

Namely, Mrs. White wrote how her students are only allowed to two bathroom breaks a month during her lessons, and that’s it.

In case they leave the classroom more than that, then they get either a detention or zero points on the assignment they decide to walk out on.

What’s most, she even confirms she is petty.

She then goes on and writes how her students can speak to her about the rules, which we believe are pure nonsense, but nothing will change.

And in case a kid loses their pass, she says, “I’m sorry, try again next month.” If this isn’t the purest form of cruelty, I don’t know what is.

Once the original photo was deleted, other parents came forward and posted it again. Many people took their stand against this teacher and shared their opinions about her rules which are not in accordance with the school rules whatsoever.

“This shows someone with control issues who has no power or authority at home, so they bring what little power they have to the one place where they will have no resistance: the classroom,” said a person named Jaadee Sykes, who shared the note on her Twitter and referred to it as “abhorrent.”

However, when the superintendent of the school, Nickalous Manning, heard of this from Facebook, he asked for an investigation to be completed.

“There is no policy in place at our school that restricts students’ access to the bathroom or to the nurse’s office,” said Altovise Boyd, the regional director of the charter school. Further, he added the school has “convened [the] full team to review all relevant policies and procedures.”

“Yes, lets all make poor children hold their bladders bc them going to the restroom is a nuisance for you. My child has my permission to walk out of whoever’s class if they tell him he can’t go,” one mom tweeted showing her outrage.

There were also those who supported Mrs. White, with one of them saying, “My god, people. Teacher makes a mistake in handling a situation that is obviously very frustrating for her and you folks are prepared to destroy her.”

Honestly, I would be really angry in case my kid comes home with such absurd note. How would you react?

‘The Makeover Guy’ Gives this Divorcee One of the Sexiest Transformations Ever

By

There comes a time in our life when we dedicate all our strength to make those around us happy and forget about ourselves. And then, something that turns our world upside-down happens and we realize we’ve been neglecting the most important person in our life – ourselves – for so long.

For a woman named Heather from Amarillo, Texas, such wake-up call was the separation from her husband of many years. This 48-old-divorcee needed a change that would remind her she’s alive and beautiful, and our favorite guy, Christopher Hopkins, was more than willing to give it to her.

The ‘Makeover Guy’ is known for the happiness he brings in people’s lives with his creativity and out-of-this-world talent.

This time, he was determined to give Heather the so much anticipated change and help her improve her self-esteem.

Speaking of the time of her divorce, Heather said, “Eventually I just kind of gave up for a while,” referring to the way she looked.

She had no idea what to expect, she only knew that she trusted Christopher so much that she decided to leave her complete appearance in his skillful hands. And she did the right thing.

When Christopher asked Heather if there was something she didn’t want to see, she answered she didn’t want to see “ugly” as if that was even possible in this guy’s salon.

He started off with Heather’s gray straggly hair. He gave her a cut and dyed it in a light auburn color. It’s truly incredible how a simple hair cut can wipe off 20 years of someone’s face.

The make-up he applied highlighted Heather’s natural beauty.

“I really wanted Christopher to do whatever he thought was best, and I think he kind of nailed it,” Heather said. “I feel sexy!”

Honestly, we can’t agree more. You look absolutely stunning!

Take a look at Heather’s transformation in the video below.

Talent shows never cease to amaze us because they prove us over and over again that ordinary people with special skills and talents do get the chance to shine and leave the world speechless.

The Voice Kids, the Belgian edition, brings us an incredible moment of a shy boy who took the stage and looked around in confusion. But it only took him a line of Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” for all the three judges to press their buzzers and see the boy with the voice of an angel.

13-year-old Abu stole the hearts of everyone in the room and got standing ovations.

I believe that no one really expected for such energy and emotion to come from such a young man.

We all knew this would be a night to remember for Abu and his family at the backstage who were keeping their fingers crossed when two of the judges started smiling widely.

Josje Huisman and Laura Tesoro knew they were witnessing a star being born.

Their facial expressions spoke louder than words and showed their amazement in a perfect manner.

All the tree judges were now facing Abu who smiled back at them as a thank you for turning towards him.

The family couldn’t hide their excitement when they realized the crowd and the judges loved what their little boy had to show on that stage.

People were cheering as Abu sang along. He added his own touch to the song and it sounded perfectly.

At this point, judges were clapping and singing and they all hoped this little music prodigy would pick them to be in their team.

As the performance continued, everyone was even more convinced Abu is a star in the making.

At the end of the powerful performance, judge Sean Dhondt ran onto the stage and sat cross-legged in front of the artist, showing his admiration.

The video of Abu singing on the show has been seen more than 23 million times since it was first posted in April 2017.

Well, he didn’t end up winning the competition but we are sure that if he decides to pursue a career as a singer one day, his name will quickly become famous in the industry. Because with such talent one wouldn’t expect anything less than huge popularity.

Take a look at the performance below and make sure you share it with your friends.

Modern swing dance duo shows off vintage style as they tear up the floor to “Hey Baby!”

By

Monica Pop

Everybody loves dancing. No matter if you think you have two left feet, when your favorite song is on, you just dance to the rhythm. However, it takes special skills to master many styles all at once.

Modern swing dance is a combination of a number of styles and the best thing about it is that people of all shapes and sizes with the right amount of talent can master it.

Although it originates in the U.S., swing dancing stole the hearts of people from every corner of the world and gained its popularity very quickly.

And no matter how many dancers who practice this style you know of, no one really does it in a more mesmerizing manner than Bianka Locatelli and Nils Andrén. She’s a native Italian who moved to Sweden in her teens, and he’s a native Swed. Together, they comprise one of the best pairs in modern swing dancing. At the moment, Locatelli and Andrén dance on Sweden’s national team in “Boogie Woogie” and take part in numerous “Lindy Hop” competitions.

This dancing couple leaves audiences from all around the world in awe as they showcase their routines and talent during their global travels.

Their vintage flair is on point ever since they met back when they were both 16.

If you want to know how popular they really are, just take a look at the video of their performance at the Rock That Swing Festival at the Deutsches Theater in Munich, Germany, which has been seen more than 13 million times.

In the video that is beyond satisfying to watch, the former Swedish national champions show their greatness and their love for dancing in all their glory.

It looks as though they are floating on air and not touching the floor. The choice of song, Bruce Channel’s 1961 hit “Hey Baby!”, only adds to the magic of their routine.

People were so overwhelmed by what they saw that they only had words of praise:

“They have so much fun I can’t take my eyes off of them! Great!!!” one person wrote.

Moving in perfect harmony and with huge smiles on their faces throughout the whole time, these two made their routine look like a piece of cake. It’s all so smooth and fun-to-watch that we can’t help by play it over and over again.

“I love this! That guy can really dance! That guy’s dancing is pure art. He was meant to do that. He told the whole song with his dance I must have watched this 10 times already. I can’t stop watching this guy dance. His partner is perfect also. But he’s a real actor to this song,” a person gushed.

I honestly doubt that any other couple can ever achieve this level of excellence.

“They love swing dancing because it brings people together and spreads joy between them, but also because it has a technical and ‘nerdy’ side. The dance challenges them in keeping practicing, creating and expressing,” Bianca and Nils’ Facebook bio states.

This routine is definitely something you don’t want to miss. Share it with your friends to make their day.

Lil Nas X and Sam Elliott Have a Dance Off in Super Bowl Ad

By

The Super Bowl is here! One of the most anticipated events in the country is about to gather millions in front of their TVs on Sunday. And as most of them are there to enjoy the game and cheer for their favorite team, a great number of viewers are eager to check the commercials out.

Among the companies who were willing to pay millions for their products to be featured during the annual championship are the Doritos. And as much as their Nacho Cheese was in the spotlight for so long, they are now updating the flavor of their Cool Ranch. And the taste of it? Well, if two big names like that of 20-year-old rapper Lil Nas X and actor Sam Elliot are “fighting” for a bag of it, it has to be exquisite.

The two are dressed in their cowboy outfits, somewhere in the Wild West, and ready to duel.

But instead of a game of quick draw, the pair gets into a dance-off battle. The song, as you are guessing already, is Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” that brought him two Grammy awards.

For Elliot, who is well known for his mustache and his roles as a cowboy, filming this commercial was a totally different experience from everything he’s done before.

“I was a little concerned about having to dance at this point in my life,” Elliott told Adweek. “I used to love to dance, I’ve always been athletic but, you know, at 75 things slow down… I wasn’t worried about opening my mouth and talking, but the dancing was a challenge.”

Elliott was first introduced to Lil Nas X’s music by his daughter and says working with the young rapper was a real pleasure. “I found him a pretty solid kid. He worked hard,” he said. “He’d never been in front of a camera on film set before, and he was up to the challenge. And he couldn’t have been nicer to be around.”

This is definitely worth checking out!

Thieves try to mug an elderly man – seconds later they get what they deserve

By

Getting a job and working hard to earn our living is what most of us do. So when we finally get to retire it should lead to a peaceful life free of the stress the job brings. We have enough free time to dedicate ourselves to the things we have been neglecting for so long, such as our favorite hobby, traveling the world, and embarking on new adventures.

Societies should pay retirees utmost respect because they have done their share for the country, but sadly, that’s not always the case.

I have heard many times of incidents where elderly and vulnerable people are the target of thieves and muggers and that makes me lose faith in humanity. Imagine what would a pensioner do if they are left without their only income?

A video taken from an alley in a town in Russia is a lesson why one should never mess with old people. They may not be as vital as they once were, but they are full of experience and knowledge, and some of them happen to be retired boxers, just like this elderly guy from the video below.

The muggers had no idea that they would end up knocked down on the ground when they decided to steal from this man.

They went on him with their “fierce looking” attitude hoping to scare him, but the boxer wasn’t afraid to show off his boxing skills, and boy, we are so glad he wasn’t.

We hope the muggers learned their lesson to never mess with older people and start working their as*es off for a change.

More than 440,000 people have seen the video so far and they all agree these muggers got what they deserved. One person wrote, “Fists like bullets, those where fast, accurate, full face punches!”

Check this boxer’s skills in the video below and share it with your friends.

Four preschoolers dress in suits and wow the crowd with their chair dance performance

By

Who doesn’t enjoy watching talent shows? I guess why most of us love these shows is because we never know what to expect. Maybe the next super star and the country’s new sweetheart is performing for the first time right before our eyes and we really don’t want to miss that moment.

In fact, people are fond of preschool talent shows for the same reason, and a group of four young boys are here to prove that to be true.

The moment the piano music was on and one of the boys walked to the stage dressed in a suit, a hat, and a chair in his arms, everyone knew it would be a performance worth seeing.

He placed the chair on the stage, sat on it, and slapped his lap in the beat. Another boy, dressed exactly the same, carrying a chair, joined the first one.

The rest of the group then walked from opposite sides of the stage and the show was on.

This cute quartet stole everyone’s heart by dancing to the rhythm and in perfect harmony. It was obvious this incredible routine was a result of many hours of practice and hard work.

But, it definitely paid off as people were stunned by the moves which involved placing legs one over another, slapping, and moving to the side and onto the center.

Next, these little gentlemen got off their chairs and walked behind them, danced around, and then danced behind the chairs again.

What followed was sitting on the chairs facing the audience with their backs and twisting around the chairs as the music started playing again.

The peak of the performance was when the boys climbed onto the chairs. No one at the audience could hide their amusement and cheering and clapping can be heard during the whole thing.

And just when we though this couldn’t get any cuter, the boys jumped off the chairs one by one, and then sit on them again and lifted their hats.

It’s truly amazing knowing this comes from such young children. Their confidence only adds to the outcome that stunned everyone who got so see them dance.

After it was uploaded on YouTube, the video of the performance has been seen more than 1.7 million times. People can’t help by comment on it:

I am sure the popularity they gained with their incredible dance moves will make them consider performing again in the future. All these four young boys are artists in the making, don’t you think so?

Make sure you check the video out, you’re going to love it!

5 children removed from family after allegedly being locked in cages on several occasions

By

All a child needs while growing up is to feel loved and safe knowing they have by they side someone who cares. Although most parents are overly protective of their children and would do all in their power to see them happy and thriving, there are also cases of child abuse and neglect that break our hearts into a million pieces.

Such devastating case that deeply disturbed the whole country was reported in Alabama. Allegedly, five children have been kept locked in cages on several occasions by their mother and grandparents.

Thankfully, authorities were able to step in and save the poor children from the hands of their cruel family.

ABC News reported that authorities were alerted of possible child abuse on January 13.

When they visited the home, which is situated in Smiths Station, in eastern Alabama’s Lee County, investigators were welcomed by four of the children aged 3, 4, 10, and 11. An 8-month-old baby was also living in the house.

Inside the place, there were two wooden cages with hasps and locks. The sight was devastating knowing those kids were spending time inside those cages.

“[The] investigation revealed evidence that the children had been locked in the cages on multiple occasions,” Lee County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement, released on social media.

Thankfully, authorities acted immediately and the children’s mother was arrested and charged with two counts of child abuse of a child younger than 6 years old, and two counts of reckless endangerment. The grandparents who were also involved in the abuse of the children were charged under the same counts as the mother.

We are so glad none of these five kids would ever have to be treated in such cruel manner again. We hope they will be able to overcome the stress and trauma they were forced to go through while living with people who treated them as objects.

Groomsmen line up to dance for the bride- Little brother steals the show

Weddings are those memorable days of our lives that we get to cherish forever. On this day everything has to be perfect, starting from the venue, the flowers, the delicious cake, the wedding gown, and all the other details that may seem irrelevant but add to the whole experience.

However, for this bride, not everything turned out the way she had envisioned it in her head. Luckily, it was way better. A wedding reception a bit different than anything you’ve seen so far.

The groom had a surprise for his loving wife-to-be and put a personal spin on the ceremony by treating her and the guests with a well-practiced choreography that made them shake their hips in the rhythm. So, when everyone starts waving their dinner napkins in the air, it means something good is about to go down!

As soon as the groom heard the beautiful girl standing opposite him say “I do,” he was ready to hit the dance floor. It took him a lot of sweat and practice to achieve the level of excellence he was about to show together with his best buddies who’ll never leave their best pal “embarrass” himself all alone.

The dancing mash-up starts with Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk” and the groom forming a train along with his friends guiding the bride to her chair from where she could best enjoy the performance prepared especially for her.

She is all smiles and probably knows this is going to be something pretty unique once she sees the group of handsome guys line in front of her as the guests make a circle around them and cheer.

Looking forward to this once-in-a-lifetime experience, this lucky bride promptly plopped her tush down as her sweetheart and his crew started moving in perfect sync, resembling professional dancers.

They were dresses in a matching outfits, wearing suits, ties, and hats. The whole thing is even cuter because of the little boy who joins the dancers.

The best part is that this wasn’t the only song they danced to. The party cheered when they went on and made the bride laugh even more as they wiggled their fingers into the air when Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” and “put a ring on it” was on. This girl has to be really blessed to have such an amazing and devoted man by her side.

Switching to “Backstreet Boys” and ending the whole show with the famous moves of “Gangnam Style,” they gave everyone a day to remember.

The video ends with the groom and his friends having a group hug while hopping in excitement and delight. They eventually get kisses from the beautiful bride for the job well done.

Check the video below and enjoy. This is truly amazing.

Just another case of child abduction that could end up fatally was resolved with a positive outcome thanks to the Massachusetts State Police and the public who got involved in tracking the kidnapper down.

The incident took place on Wednesday, when 11-year-old Charlotte Moccia got off the school bus and started walking home. She was abducted in broad daylight.

One person, Julius Kenney, who witnessed the whole thing told Boston 25 News: “I came out and I heard the kid hollering for help. By the time I got down to get the plate number, all I saw was an individual bent over, throwing her in the back, shut the door and the car took off.”

Charlotte may be wearing a white jacket, khaki pants, a dark shirt that may have the logo of the Hampden Charter School on it (see photo). She may have a school-issued laptop with her. If seen call 911. Tweet 2 of 3. https://t.co/y1bbzGPcXO pic.twitter.com/ApkVrZSC8W

Massachusetts State Police didn’t waste any time before they issued an Amber Alert. Along with that, they shared with the public the surveillance footage showing Charlotte walking down the street and the vehicle of the suspect.

This photo of a blue Honda was taken yesterday in the same area of Springfield where the abduction of CHARLOTTE MOCCIA occurred today. We believe it is the same vehicle involved in the abduction. Please note car is blue and has no inspection sticker and no front plate. pic.twitter.com/6RTaKHwaoc

Luckily, soon after the Amber Alert was issued, motorists on the Massachusetts Turnpike who saw the vehicle of the abductor called the police and gave them information of the direction it headed.

A construction site was positioned along the highway, around 30 minutes from where Charlotte was abducted, and it helped slow the vehicles down.

Thankfully, the police was able to spot the blue Honda and rescue the terrified girl.

Right after Charlotte was in the hands of the officers, she was taken to the hospital. Luckily, she wasn’t hurt.

“She’s an amazing little girl,” State Police Lt. Bob Ackerman said. “I can’t believe how strong she was dealing with this.”

The suspect was later identified as 24-year-old Miguel Rodriguez. According to his parents, he was suffering from schizophrenia and paranoia and wasn’t taking his medications regularly despite doctors’ warnings that his condition could get worse without any.

“We feel really bad, you know, as parents. We have kids ourselves,” Henry Rodriguez, Miguel’s father, said. “We feel relieved that the girl was found safe and sound. We were relieved that nothing happened to that little girl and that she is back with her family. We are grateful she’s all right.”

We are so glad Charlotte was found just in time and is reunited with her family who was praying for her safety. We also hope Miguel will get the medical help he desperately needs so that incidents like this one could be avoided in the future.

While His Wife Was out of Town, Dad-of-3 Gave Their Master Bedroom a Complete Makeover

By

Most husbands out there are firmly convinced that their wives are ‘overly demanding’ at times and pleasing them is not really simple. Wives on the other hand believe this isn’t really true and their hubbies only make a big deal whenever they are asked to lend a helping hand around the house and the kids.

The sad reality is that women are somehow expected to be the ones completing most of the chores, such as doing the laundry, cleaning the place, and a bunch of other ‘tiny’ things that are truly time-consuming and tiring.

However, many men break the stereotypes and share the housework with their wives, and we really need more of that in our society.

Miles Boyer, for example, is the kind of husband every women would go for. When his wife Kate went out of town for a weekend, all he had to do was take care of the kids and the house until she’s back.

But Miles went an extra mile and did something truly amazing for his wife. He gave the master bedroom a complete transformation and a fresh new look. On top of that, he filmed the whole thing and now we get to enjoy watching it.

After he emptied the room completely, he got rid of the hideous, old carpet that neither he nor Kate really loved and replaced it a with wooden floor that served as a perfect temporary dance floor for the three kids.

Knowing he had to do things as quickly as he could, Miles painted the walls during the night, after the kids went to bed.

During the next day, he brought the furniture back and made a DIY headboard. The place looked super organized and spotless.

Now all he and the kids had to do was wait for Kate to come back. Needless to say, her reaction is super cute. She can’t really believe Miles did all of that by himself while taking care of the kids.

You can take a look at the transformation process and Kate’s reaction in the video below.

13-Year-Old’s Cover of Bohemian Rhapsody Earns Heidi Klum’s Golden Buzzer

Most people love watching talent shows because they are a perfect reminder that even ordinary people get a chance to shine and stun everyone around with their talent every once in a while.

And when a contestant wins the ultimate recognition, such as the Golden Buzzer of America’s Got Talent, we know a knew star is born. Today, we present to you the incredible 13-year-old girl who received one of these so-much-anticipated buzzers and we are convinced her name is likely to be put on the list of singers whose vocals posses the magic to impact others’ lives.

When Angelina Jordan, who won the show Norway’s Got Talent when she was only 7, started singing Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” on the stage of the American counterpart, she won the hearts of everyone who got to hear her stunning voice.

Words couldn’t really express how everyone, including the judges, felt after she let her voice loose. Not surprisingly, at the end of her performance confetti started flying around as Heidi Klum just knew this girl deserved the Golden Buzzer more than anyone else.

“I feel like I am witnessing the birth of something really special, a star,” said the newest judge, Alesha Dixon.

“I think this moment…is going to change your life and your career forever,” then said Howie Mandel.

“Seriously, this was an amazing performance,” Simon Cowell added.

Heidi was the last one “to pass her judgment.”

“Finally you guys are finished talking,” Heidi said once she had the table. “You have no idea how hard it is for me to sit here to wait for you guys to jibbity jabbity jibbity jabbity, because this was so amazing!”

Angelina couldn’t believe what Heidi did and she neither could, nor she wanted to hide her excitement. The audience went wild and were lucky their new favorite singer got herself a place in the finals.

Well, if this incredible experience didn’t melt our hearts enough, the story behind Angelina not wearing shoes during her performance made us all go ‘awww.’

“When I was around six years old, I saw this little girl around my age. I gave my shoes to her because she had scars on her feet and it was really cold,” Angelina shared with the crowd. “So, whenever I’m on the stage I always remember all the children that don’t have any parents, clothes and shoes. She’s always in my heart.”

In case you’ve missed it, you can hear Angelina’s incredible performance in the video below.

Heartbroken mom begs public for help after late son’s ashes are stolen during burglary

Nothing speaks sadness and grief louder than the loss of a child. Those parents who have ever experienced this unbearable pain only have the memories of their loved ones to remind them of the happiness and the precious moments they once shared.

One bereaved mother named Melissa Carter shared some devastating news and is pleading the public for help after her son’s ashes were stolen during a burglary.

Speaking to Today Parents, heartbroken Melissa said how the incident took place on 29 December. She explained how she came to a smashed window that night and simply knew something was wrong.

Many of her belongings were stolen, among which the heart-shaped urn of her little Jacob.

“My living room was still kind of chaotic from Christmas, but it appeared nothing had been touched,” Carter told Today.

“My computer was still here, my TV was still here, but I noticed that all the bedroom doors were open … I turned to my left and I saw that [my] son’s door is wide open, and I see his bedroom door completely smashed in. I immediately realized someone broke into my home.”

She shared a photo of what the urn looks like hoping those who took it would feel her pain and bring it back to her. It has the inscription “Jacob Carter, April 13, 2012” on it.

“I immediately noticed that someone had gone through my dresser,” Cater explained to Today.

“The urn of my son, Jacob, was in there, along with all of my jewelry, and I noticed that the lid was off. All but a couple small necklaces were gone, and so I start looking around, trying to see if maybe someone realized it was an urn and dropped it, and I couldn’t find it anywhere.”

The ashes are all she has from the baby she lost when she was just six months pregnant and they mean so much to her.

“I am so heartbroken that someone broke into my home while I was gone and took his urn. That’s all I had of my baby.”

Authorities are doing all in their power to track the burglars down, but despite a fingerprint they found in Carter’s home, they have no other leads.

Carter’s mom is optimistic that her grandson’s urn would be returned and she believes the social media would have its impact on a possible positive outcome.

“I am a realist and an optimist, but I will never give up hope that someday, Jacob’s urn will find its way back to our family,” Jeanette Guddat Haggerty said.

“We are a strong family, and there are so many wonderful people in this world that have reached out.”

Girl’s inoperable brain tumor disappears, parents claim ‘God healed Roxli’

By

When 11-year-old Roxli Doss from Hays County, Texas, was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a rare and inoperable tumor, her family was left heartbroken.

She experienced headaches, nausea, and double vision for some time and her parents brought her to the hospital for a check-up. But, little did they know the news would be devastating.

They were informed how Roxli’s tumor was very aggressive and difficult to treat which is why they claim God had his share in making the cancer disappear completely after she received her treatments.

Speaking of the time they learned of Roxli’s condition, her father, Scott Doss, said: “It was the worst news we could have had.”

“At Dell Children’s, Texas Children’s, at Dana-Farber, at John Hopkins, and MD Anderson, all agreed it was DIPG.”

All of the doctors who saw Roxli’s scans agreed how this tumor was very rare.

“It is a devastating disease. You have decreased ability to swallow, sometimes vision loss, decreased ability to talk, eventually difficulty with breathing,” said Dr. Virginia Harrod of Dell Children’s Hospital. “We don’t have a cure. This is considered a terminal diagnosis.”

Soon after the diagnosis, Roxli underwent 11 weeks of radiation and during the whole time, her mommy and daddy prayed to God and asked from him to save their girl.

Finally, their prayers were answered!

“The doctors guide us, but really the true guidance that we’re looking for is from God because that’s who we need our help from right now, and we’re really just praying for a miracle,” said Scott.

The latest MRI scans showed that Roxli was cancer-free. The doctors who believed the tumor could not be operated on and said Roxli’s chances of surviving were bleak were now left in complete shock.

“When I first saw Roxli’s MRI scan, it was actually unbelievable. The tumor is undetectable on the MRI scan, which is really unusual,” Dr. Harrod said.

But Roxli’s parents were not really surprised from the positive outcome because their trust in God is endless and they were convinced their faith would work its magic.

“A Miracle!! We all walked out in shock even though we had been begging, praying, asking and believing. Thank you Jesus just wasn’t enough to say,” they wrote on CaringBridge.org:

“God is using precious Roxli as a vessel for His mighty power! REVIVAL is springing up in hearts everywhere!” Gena Doss wrote on Facebook.

The dedicated medical professionals, along with Doss’ strong faith in God, made the unbelievable happen.

Although the scans show Roxli is cancer-free, she’s currently undergoing precautionary immune treatments to ensure every single cancer cell is eradicated from her brain.

Dr. Harrod said: “We are cautiously optimistic and will continue to monitor her on a regular basis along with the joy of celebrating in her recovery.”

This story is so inspiring because it gives a ray of hope to other people and children fighting cancer and reminds them to never stop believing in miracles, because if you trust with all your hearts, they do happen.

What’s the secret behind a successful and long life like that of America’s sweetheart Betty? Well, asked about it back in 2018, she told Parade, “You just keep plugging away. You don’t give up.”

“Enjoy life,” she said. “Accentuate the positive, not the negative. It sounds so trite, but a lot of people will pick out something to complain about, rather than say, ‘Hey, that was great!’ It’s not hard to find great stuff if you look.”

Happy Birthday Betty and many more to come! You are a true diva and a true inspiration to all of us!

Twins find wallet with cash, take a look at disabled veteran’s ID and knock on his door

By

How many times has it happened to you to lose your wallet, your keys, or even important documents? I know it happens to me very often. Luckily, I always find them in some of my drawers.

But when you lose something out of your house, you only hope an honest person will stumble upon it and give it back to you before you lose hope of ever finding it again.

Honestly, not many people will ever return a wallet with cash, but luckily for one veteran, his was found by two twin sisters with a heart of gold.

14-year-old Makhia and Makyla Vincent from Detroit spotted the wallet in the snow while on their way to school.

They took it in their hands and opened it in hopes of finding out who the owner might be. Inside, there were several credit cards and hundred of dollars in cash along with an ID. The girls didn’t even think twice before they decided to return it to the person who lost it.

Speaking to WJBK, Makyla, whose granddad is also a retired military man, said: “I would hate if that was my granddad and that happened to him, so I knew we had to return it.”

The wallet belonged to a disabled veteran named Marc Walsh who served with the Marine Corps.

The twins rushed to Marc’s address because they didn’t want him to worry. When they knocked on his door, Marc wasn’t home so they held the wallet up to the security camera before they left it on the the front step.

When he got home, his roommate told Marc how his wallet was there and as he really wanted to know who the generous person who brought him his money and credit cards back was, the two checked the security system.

Looking at the footage, Marc’s heart filled with joy as he knew there are still good people out there, and his angels were teens who were obviously brought up the right way.

And just as Marc thought he can never thank the sisters in person, WJBK arranged them to meet. Mack told them how much their act meant to him as he was struggling to find a job at the time. On top of that, he got to pay them back with a generous gesture himself.

This lovely story restores our faith in humanity, especially because the good doers are just teens.

US soldier killed in Kenyan terrorist attack identified as 23-year-old Army Specialist

Serving the country abroad is never easy. Many military members stay away from their families for a very long time and only hope to see each other again before undertaking another military feat.

Devastating news came on Sunday after the Department of Defense identified Army Specialist Henry Mayfield Jr. as one of the three Americans who lost their lives in a terrorist attack in Kenya.

“This was a senseless act of violence that has changed our lives forever. Our son was a great big brother, cousin and above all he was an awesome person,” Tawanna Cottenfinner, Mayfield Jr.’s aunt said.

23-year-old Mayfielf Jr. was killed during the al-Shabab forces attack of Manda Bay Airfield, a military base where he was stationed. This brave man joined the army while he was still in college and last spoke to his mom Carmoneta via FaceTime on New Year’s Eve when he assured her everything was going to be just fine.

“He told me everything would be okay. Those were his last words to me,” she told NBC 5 Chicago.

One of the reasons why Mayfield Jr. joined the Army was because he couldn’t afford to pay for his university studies. He enrolled Northern Illinois University, but left it only a year later.

“He couldn’t really afford college, so he figured that the Army would help him through that,” his father, Henry Mayfield Sr. told the Chicago Tribune.

“He was looking for better opportunities, but also he enjoyed serving,” Mayfield Sr. said. “He was that kind of kid. He would help. It fit him. It was good for him. He enjoyed being in the Army.”

Rest in Peace brave man, you will never be forgotten as your sacrifice for your country was the ultimate.

As the whole country prayed for little Faye Swetlik to be brought home safe, authorities came forward with the tragic news of her death.

Faye’s lifeless body was found on Thursday around 11 a.m not far from where she was last seen. Authorities launched a homicide investigation but didn’t report how the girl died.

His students knew how sad it all made Mr. Payne so they decided to surprise him.

His reaction is as touching as the students’ act of kindness.

Sarah Schmidt is a lovely young lady who wasn’t satisfied with her appearance. Or better said, she just wanted to look like someone famous, in her case, the oldest daughter of President Trump, Ivanka.

Although she looks different than before, many believe Schmidt didn’t got was she hoped for. She, on the other hand, looks happy and confident and is convinced she achieved her goal to the extent that she could be mistaken for Ivanka on the streets.

One grief-stricken mother is sharing her daughter’s tragic story and is warning parents of children who suffer from allergies of the hidden dangers behind products like toothpaste.

Combining buck dance, a type of folk tap dance, and the fiddle earned this lovely girl a huge number of followers.

She loves both playing and dancing and as she didn’t want to neglect either of her talents, Hillary decided to combine them.

The news of a girl who stole the hearts of the passersby spread around and many were eager to check her YouTube channel and enjoy more of what she had to offer.

Namely, Mrs. White wrote how her students are only allowed to two bathroom breaks a month during her lessons, and that’s it.

Once the original photo was deleted, other parents came forward and posted it again. Many people took their stand against this teacher and shared their opinions about her rules which are not in accordance with the school rules whatsoever.

The ‘Makeover Guy’ is known for the happiness he brings in people’s lives with his creativity and out-of-this-world talent.

The make-up he applied highlighted Heather’s natural beauty.

13-year-old Abu stole the hearts of everyone in the room and got standing ovations.

Their facial expressions spoke louder than words and showed their amazement in a perfect manner.

As the performance continued, everyone was even more convinced Abu is a star in the making.

Modern swing dance is a combination of a number of styles and the best thing about it is that people of all shapes and sizes with the right amount of talent can master it.

In the video that is beyond satisfying to watch, the former Swedish national champions show their greatness and their love for dancing in all their glory.

The two are dressed in their cowboy outfits, somewhere in the Wild West, and ready to duel.

Societies should pay retirees utmost respect because they have done their share for the country, but sadly, that’s not always the case.

The moment the piano music was on and one of the boys walked to the stage dressed in a suit, a hat, and a chair in his arms, everyone knew it would be a performance worth seeing.

This cute quartet stole everyone’s heart by dancing to the rhythm and in perfect harmony. It was obvious this incredible routine was a result of many hours of practice and hard work.

ABC News reported that authorities were alerted of possible child abuse on January 13.

However, for this bride, not everything turned out the way she had envisioned it in her head. Luckily, it was way better. A wedding reception a bit different than anything you’ve seen so far.

The incident took place on Wednesday, when 11-year-old Charlotte Moccia got off the school bus and started walking home. She was abducted in broad daylight.

Right after Charlotte was in the hands of the officers, she was taken to the hospital. Luckily, she wasn’t hurt.
