Frozen 2
My family & I watched Frozen 2 last night & I’m ready to see it again. Much of what we loved from the first film still reigns true. Frozen 2 is a tale about love, power, sisters, trusting yourself, acceptance & bravery. Yet, Frozen 2 takes a much deeper dive into many darker themes. I love it. Raising a Daughter in the Time of Elsa & Anna Almost 6 years ago, my daughter & I ventured to the same theatre & audibly gasped when Elsa saunters towards the audience. What a moment! As soon as we went home, my girl turns to me & says, “I want to grow out…

One evening, Sarah and I were talking as she watched the episode with the Jubilee Picnic and there was an entire table full of Pimms No. 1. We knew then and there we had to have a Pimm’s Cup pronto to feel like we were part of the party. Pimm’s No. 1 A Pimm’s Cup is one of the best cocktails to sip on a summer day. It is a perfect combination of fresh fruit,…
Downton Abbey Movie
The Downton Abbey Movie is in theaters September 19, 2019. I considered taking the day off of work in celebration of this long-awaited movie. But, my girlfriend snagged us sneak preview tickets to see see the Downton Abbey Movie last week, and I LOVED it! Didn’t see the Downton Abbey TV show? Never fear! Before the movie begins, Phyllis Logan and Jim Carter (who play Mrs. Hughes, the Housekeeper and Mr. Carson, the Butler) give a CliffNotes summary of the entire show. Downton Abbey, aired for six seasons from 2010-2015, so there is a lot of drama to cover in under 10 minutes! via GIPHY This afternoon, my colleague mentioned…
BH90210
BH90210 Anyone that knows me knows that I am a FAN of Beverly Hills, 90210. My obsession started in elementary school when I was arguing with my mom that “Donna Martin Graduates” was the right thing (I now see my mom’s side – Donna broke the rules and shouldn’t graduate – I get it mom). I had the Kelly, Donna and Dylan dolls. And then I watched the episodes in syndication in the 90’s. I ate it up with a spoon every day when I came home from school. I became obsessed with Donna and David’s relationship, Valerie being evil, and Kelly being even worse than her. My friends and…

Tidying Up on Netflix
Tidying Up on Netflix Each year, I start the New Year purge & the ramping up of organization. Let’s be honest, it’s a short-lived process. My kids are total hoarders, we are a family of collectors & I am terribly sentimental. This lends itself to a home filled with photos, drawings, Funkos, old T-shirts & boxes of stuff that I will keep indefinitely. Enter, Tidying Up on Netflix. We watched it, we tidied & we learned a thing or two about our house in the process. I’m here to highlight the positives about the method & also mention the things that do not work for me. The Folding Is Legit…

Creed II Creed II is in theatres November 20, 2018 I cannot wait for this movie! My wife bought tickets for our whole family to go see it on opening night.

Rocky IV Soundtrack
Rocky IV Soundtrack Come 5 AM at the gym, there are several different artists & albums that I am Really Into. It’s not easy to get motivated that early in the morning. So, I rely on a few favorites. One of those is the Rocky IV Soundtrack. There are days when that gangsta rap gets my blood boiling. Tupac is my go-to. Other days, I prefer that Dirty South vibe. Those days I go hard with Scarface, Lil Keke, UGK and so on. But there’s something about the Rocky IV Soundtrack that lights the fire within. The Soundtrack of ALL Soundtracks The Rocky IV Soundtrack is always a constant in my playlist. When I need…
