Family Classic Movies

Below I’ve listed the movies that I remember watching during my childhood over and over again (excluding animated Disney movies – those will come later).

One of my very distinct early memories is of me sitting in my tiny chair eating mini-marshmallows as I enjoyed one of my favorite films.

This guide includes movies that the whole family can enjoy and I wouldn’t mind if my own children one day watched them repeatedly.

First Trimester Survival Guide

The first trimester is the worst! At least it always has been for me, though every single woman is different.  Also, every pregnancy can be different.

I wanted to share my first-trimester survival items in case they might help anyone else trying to get through the first 12 weeks.

TTC: Trying to Conceive

Let’s face it, women are putting off pregnancy longer than ever before (for multiple reasons). I certainly waited until we were financially, emotionally, and logically ready to have a baby. But this means when you finally make the decision to try to get pregnant you typically want to see results right away!

   

Musicals

Falling in Love with Love . . . February is one of the better months of the year because it is the shortest winter month, the Superbowl and Academy Awards are both held during, and I look good in red. Being that it is the month of love, I thought I would touch on the subject with another movie guide.  The following movie guide is not totally focused on romance but instead on a movie genre I love . . . MUSICALS.  Obviously, love is almost always the main focal point of a musical but the dancing and singing are the parts that make my heart swell.

Honeymoon in Costa Rica

Beach right off the resort.

I just got back from the best honeymoon ever!  Granted, it has been the only honeymoon I have ever been on, but trust me my obsessive need to plan definitely worked in my favor for this vacation.

After considering a few options, I decided that Costa Rica was the perfect destination for our honeymoon.  I wanted a place that would have equal parts relaxation and adventure.  Costa Rica definitely meets both requirements.

If you are considering Costa Rica for your honeymoon or vacation I hope my time spent planning helps you plan your trip.
