Mother's Day Movies


Happy Mother's Day, all! In the spirit of the holiday, I thought I'd just share a list of some of my favorite mom-centric movies. Some of these aren't solely about the mother, but all have awesome mom figures. What is your favorite movie about Mom?

  • Baby Mama
  • Stepmom
  • Where the Heart Is
  • Little Women
  • Raising Helen
  • Because I Said So
  • Parent Trap (the original, not the Lindsay Lohan version)
  • The Sound of Music
  • Anne of Green Gables (I know Marilla isn't her mom, but still...)
I know I'm missing a bunch but this is what I have for now. In the meantime, I hope everyone has a fabulous Mother's Day!

Vacation Momentos

So you go on that awesome vacation where you pick up t-shirts, take tons of pictures, or maybe bring home a bottle of wine. But, it's hard to put all of that stuff on display (especially if you already drank the wine). Try this instead:

Keep a little bit of currency when you return home from traveling abroad. Frame it. Voila! Souvenir!



I picked up these currency frames a while back at Michaels. They were on clearance for less than $4 each. They came with photo corners and I just stuck some tape runner on the backs of them and on the backs of the coins.



Relax...I know that's a hundred in the bottom frame, but everything in that frame is really less than $2 USD. I'm not crazy, ya know?
