Ever since I can remember, houses have fascinated me. I’ve been binge-watching Gilmore Girls before the new episodes come out and I have fallen in love with Lorelai’s and Rory’s house. That made me think about other television and movie houses I love. So here, in no particular order, are my favorite houses from television…
National Classic Movie Day
Did you know that today, May 16th, is National Classic Movie Day? I love old movies so this holiday is right up my alley. In fact, I think we’ll watch a movie from our collection tonight. I may even make popcorn. This post may contain affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate I earn from…
Romantic Movies to Watch on Valentine’s Day
Are you planning to spend a quiet night at home this Valentine’s Day? Sometimes that sounds better than dealing with the crowds on a busy holiday, right? Or maybe you have children and no babysitter. Or like in our case, no dogsitter – ha! Whatever the reason, if you find yourself at home for Valentine’s…

French Friday ~ Girls Movie Afternoon
What a lovely day I’ve had so far. Lisa, Kadi (Chris’ girlfriend) and Addie (Kadi’s sister) came over to watch “Midnight in Paris” with me this afternoon. Addie had to leave early for a wedding but Lisa, Kadi and I enjoyed every minute. I made some homemade banana ice cream and even opened a bottle…
French Friday ~ June 14, 2013
I think what appeals to me most about the stereotypical French woman is the way in which she lives life intentionally. Rather than just allowing life to happen to her, she makes deliberate choices and designs her own life. Every once in awhile I need a reminder to do likewise and that’s why I’m…
Memory Lane Monday…Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
I watched this movie for the first time probably 20 years ago with cousins, I think on New Year’s Eve. I loved it the first time and I’ve loved it each of the perhaps dozen times I’ve watched it since. The clip below was used for a paint commercial a few years ago. It makes…
Frankly, my dear…
I read “Gone With the Wind” for the first time when I was in 7th grade. I was immediately captivated by the story and the antebellum setting. I may have been born and raised in California but I’m convinced I lived a previous life in the “old South”. (Don’t take that comment seriously; I don’t…
