When the weather gets colder, staying in a cozy, warm bed longer is a big treat. I wanted to start surprising my husband on brisk Saturday and holiday mornings with breakfast in bed, allowing him to stay cuddled up while enjoying his food…a total vacation from all those early morning work days he has to […]
I remember the first time I saw the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall perform their toppling toy soldiers routine, and was so impressed by their elegant precision. My dad saw it 20 years before I did and said he was stunned the first time he ever saw it too. Some things are simply classic, […]
Friendsgiving is a popular take on Thanksgiving when friends come together to celebrate good food and great company, and this put me in mind of some of my favorite shows and movies focused on lasting and real friendships. The truth is, lifelong, true friends aren’t common, but it’s amazing when you find a kindred spirit […]
I love Good Will Hunting but haven’t seen the others listed! I’ll definitely have to check these out!
It’s been so long since I watched Charlotte’s Web.
Charlotte’s Web has always been one of my all-time favorites. It has also always been one of the biggest tearjerkers for me.
You’ve compiled a great list! I love Harry Potter movies,and think they have valuable lessons about friendship.
I haven’t seen Good Will Hunting Muriel’s Wedding, or Wings of the Dove. Looks like I have catching up to do!
Those are really good, agree…they teach a lot of wonderful lessons about many things, I love them!
There are a few movies, I plan on watching with my son. I think it would be good for him.
What a really great list! Charlotte’s Web was one of my favorite movies as a child.
Some of my favorite moves that celebrate friendship for me are The Sandlot, Stand By Me, The Help and Fried Green Tomatoes. They span all ages and times, and are all great movies.
I love Fried Green Tomatoes!
This is such a great list of movies. I haven’t seen some of these movies, which is quite surprising. Thank you for giving me some other movies to check out.
Love your list. Mean Girls will always be my favorite movie about friendship!
While renovating our home, we found ourselves selecting new lighting pieces for each room, and for the first time I realized that our choice in lighting says something about our home and the room itself. Statement lighting can add character to a room, and enhance the overall feeling (or detract from it if it isn’t […]
We do not have many lamps in our house but there are some really pretty ones I’d love to get!
That’s one thing I definitely do need to update in my house. My lamps are so old and some of them I can’t touch or they’ll fall apart. These are cute alternatives!
Whoa, I just went to the website and their stuff is so pretty! I think I need to do some major redecorating. 🙂
I’ll have to take a look because I need to get a couple of lamps for our family room. I like the multi-arm one you show in your post, if I could get that in an oil-rubbed bronze finish it would fit really well in that room 🙂
I seriously need to buy some lamps for our home, we don’t have any. All of our lights are built into the ceiling but it;ll be nice to have something for my nightstand and tables.
That Tiffany-esque lamp is gorgeous, alas it wouldn’t go with any of my decor. #3 would, though!
I really like numbers one and four. Lighting is such an easy way to add a fun accent.
Every room in our home has a ceiling fan with overhead lighting, but I still love the look of a beautiful table lamp. They can definitely add a touch of glam and make great decorative pieces!
The holiday baking season has arrived, and any mom, anywhere, can be a kitchen superstar- really! Supplied with a handful of impossibly easy make-ahead recipes using ingredients you already have in your kitchen, there is no reason you can’t create delicious foods that still let you have plenty of time to actually enjoy the holidays.

I would LOVE LOVE to visit NYC around the holidays and it would be fun to see the Rockettes. Thanks for sharing the beauty routine tips.
What a fun partnership! My has used Pond’s makeup remover for forever!
It’s always awesome when you get to write about products you actually love and use 🙂
I use Pond’s makeup removing wipes and I’ve used Pond’s moisturizer for years and years. It is of my favorites.
I’ve used Pond’s makeup removing wipes before. They do work really well and the lotions are definitely great.
I love Ponds, they are the best makeup removers I’ve ever used. I keep several on stock at all times.
The Rockettes are seriously glamorous and they must be in such fantastic shape.
The Rockettes are still such a huge part of Christmas iconography. I’d love to know more of their beauty secrets.
Very cool! I haven’t used Pond’s brand in years… but I am glad to see that they are still around and making a difference. 🙂
I am a West Coast girl that comes from a family with NY roots and feel there is no place like it, especially during the holiday season. The classic Rockettes look definitely sounds attainable!
