Yes folks, it’s almost that time again. Fat little cupids flying around shooting love arrows in innocent peoples’ butts, sugary sentiments on sugary treats, doilies cut into hearts and dropped into your classmate’s bag. That’s right, I’m talking about Valentine’s Day! I know, I know, a collective groan from the audience, I used to be that person too. But you must admit that some of the greatest romantic moments of all time have come to us via the silver screen and what better time to celebrate that than February? True, one of my best Valentine’s dates was the year my sweet husband took us out to dinner and to see the twisted and wonderful “Hannibal”, but some folks like their love stories a bit more smushy. For those die hard romantics out there, here are my Top 14 Kissy Flicks, just in time for February 14. May I suggest a bottle of wine, a blanket built for two and any of the following: “Lady and the Tramp”, “Bull Durham”, “Shakespeare in Love”, “Say Anything”, “Love Actually”, “When Harry Met Sally”, “Hope Floats”, “Don Juan Demarco”, “Moulin Rouge”, “The Wedding Singer”, “Casablanca”, “West Side Story”, “The Notebook”, “Enchanted”. Oh, and “Dirty Dancing”! And “Benny & Joon”! Ok, so go snuggle up to someone wonderful and have yourself a happy Valentine’s. Best friends and girls nights totally apply too! xoxo

Movies to smooch by…
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010School Time?
Saturday, August 15th, 2009Believe me, no one dislikes seeing a huge display of school supplies on sale in the middle of summer more than I. However, this year I have a kindergartener for the first time and it has got me thinking about great School Movies. I’m talking movies about or set in schools. We’ll do a “Great Movies for School Movie Night Events” blog soon. I think school movies are universal because regardless of your crowd, everyone can relate to the basic themes. Teen angst, first love, making friends, encountering new ideas, teachers that inspire, teachers that torment, bullies and best friends. I know I’ll cry when my baby loads up his backpack and heads off to his newest adventure just like countless mommies in countless cities and in countless movies. So here’s to New Schools, New Friends, New Knowledge, and New Adventures for all of us. Top Twelve School Movies; “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, “Fame”, “Breakfast Club”, “Carrie”, “Election”, “Dead Poets Society”, “Heathers”, “Dazed and Confused”, “Hoosiers”, “Clueless”, “Say Anything”, “Grease”. Now go outside and enjoy the rest of the summer!
