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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
