Favorite Musicals

 For today's list I stuck to movies that are not animated (as I have a favorite animated movie post I'm currently working on putting together).  The list is a bit shorter than my other favorite movie lists since I don't watch nearly as many musicals but each of these movies I have watched over and over again until I know nearly every word to most of the songs! 



1. Grease



2. Mama Mia!



3. West Side Story



4. The Greatest Showman



5. Pitch Perfect



6. Annie



7. The Sound of Music



8. Sister Act



9. Mary Poppins



10. The Wizard of Oz (though I was terrified of this movie as a kid)

    I have not seen nearly all of these but I will probably add several of them to my, "to watch" list. Some of them that I've seen, I've not seen in years.

      I find that once I watch them the songs are stuck in my head for weeks (and I love it!).

      Alec is the only other person in this house that will even listen/watch musicals with me and he's pretty selective on which ones he's willing to sit through.

    We love musicals and laugh that sometimes our house is like a musical when we break out in song.

    It's really funny because I love Broadway musicals, but I really don't like movie musicals. I've seen Mamma Mia, The Wizard of Oz, Pitch Perfect, and Sister Act. But, I will watch The Phantom of the Opera over and over and over!

      I have always wanted to see Les Mis on Broadway and while I know all the tunes by heart I hadn't even realized it was a movie until I was reading a blog just the other week when they mentioned watching it with their friend!

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn
