Hey gang! I’m so excited to announce that I am participating in my very first blogathon! *THROWS HAT IN THE AIR* Eva of Coffee, Classics, & Craziness and Hamlette of Hamlette’s Soliloquy are hosting a blogathon in honor of the 75th anniversary of D-Day. The blogathon began yesterday and will be completed on June 8th. The blogathon will cover a variety of topics…
It was hard to know when to schedule this experimental blog post, because Spring is such a relative term for so many people.Some of you are still recovering from freezing cold and are holding onto the hope of spring because of a single feeble patch of green in your yard (poor babies!). Some of you are already so embroiled (emphasis…
Hey-howdy my fine citizens! I have seen this period drama tag floating around the blogosphere for a bit and as I read the various posts, something scary came to my attention. Most of the answers involved things like Jane Austen, When Calls the Heart, and Anne of Green Gables! Come on guys, we don’t want to scare away…
Three Smart Girls (1936) Three sisters scheme to reunite their divorced parents before their wealthy father marries a conniving gold digger. Think ‘The Parent Trap’ with 1930s class and wit. Plus an older group of girls that fall into the “the trap of love” themselves! The 30s style costumes are yet another treat in this movie. …
As many of you may know – I accept challenges. If I reach certain amounts of subscribers on my blog, I will complete that challenge. A month or so ago, I decided to watch the much lauded Pride and Prejudice (as well as reviewing it) after reaching 50 followers. Well, I have reached 54 subscribers on my blog and I…
Some of you may already know that I am not a very sentimental viewer and that I’m not much of a crier.

I know some people cry buckets over movies and when I see that…
It’s almost that time of year again . . . you all know what I’m talking about, so I won’t bother to elaborate . . . except to say that for all of those searching and hankering for a good movie to watch on Valentine’s Day, you’ve come to the right place! As many of you know, romance isn’t…
I don’t know about you guys, but January can be a little ‘blah’ for me. The holidays are over, it’s back to the old grindstone, and the weather is dreary and cold. Because of this, I like to do something special and out of the ordinary in January. Organize a family outing, read a new book… But usually…
Here we are ladies and gentlemen, reaching the midpoint of December! The Christmas loving elves are just getting their second wind, while some of us more Grinch-like counterparts might need a little something to get them in a festive mood again. What better way to celebrate or cheer yourself up than by watching a good old fashioned Christmas movie?…
My Three Sons: Hands down, this is one of my favorite TV shows. This show holds some of the most honest and heartfelt representations of family that the television world has ever seen. The crazy, rollicking lifestyle is something nearly any rowdy family can relate to. This show was a master at having three conversations going on at one time,…
