Bucket List!! "Love"

 

 

Bucket List Time!!

 

 

My husband Greg and I absolutely love watching movies together. We both are comedy lovers, but I am a sucker for a great love story (especially anything that is written by Nicholas Sparks ;)  While reading one of my blogging books "Everything Romance," I came across a great list..."Love on the Silver Screen." These are what the American Film Institute revealed as its Greatest Love Stories as ...chosen by actors, directors, producers, film critics and others in the movie industry.

 

Greg and I have decided to watch all 100 films in order from 100 to 1. Now mind you, we have 6 kids, going on #7 so we are definitely unsure how long this is going to take, but are determined to watch each one of them (some are classics that we have never seen) 

 

I think this little project will be a lot of fun in subjecting ourselves to the dreamy movie world of love. You never know what we will stumble across along the way...wouldn't it just be awesome to live as some of these movie characters? We may even find ourselves getting even closer than we already are along the way! 

 

I will be posting each movie as they come and are hoping that Netflix has all of them!

 

Our first movie...#100 Jerry Maguire.

 

 

Flip one open and sneak away...

 

 

Today is National Paperback Book Day! Curl up on the couch and drift into another world.

Feel like going out? How about hitting a local book store/coffee shop for a new addition to your library shelf and a cup of joe!

Either way, take some time for yourself :)

I lost some weight...but don't worry, I found some of it...

Well, here I am trying to catch everyone up on my hidden life this year. Do I hide on purpose? No, just trying to keep up with a hubby and 6 kids :)

My biggest news in the last year? I joined Weight Watchers and lost 50 lbs!! I looked great and felt even better.

Bigger news? I am now preggo with my 7th child (27 weeks today) Guess I was a little irresistible with all that weight gone ;) Nah, my hubby always thought I was. Nothing more attractive than a woman carrying your child. Crazy how you gain weight back so much quicker when you veer from your Weight Watchers healthy eating pattern. No lie! I almost thought there may have been multiple children in there as fast as I was gaining! Don't get me wrong, I look too cute with my little belly, but will definitely have to get on the ball once this little girl makes her way out. The scale was my closest friend during that time period and will have to be once again.

Alright weight...be easy on the momma this time around, pretty please ;)

Book Review: 99 Blessings..An Invitation To Life by Brother David Steindl-Rast

"I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review”.

Book Review: Source of All Blessings, you bless us with memory--that sacred in gathering of the past into the present that allows us to recognize faces, learn poems by heart, find our way back when we are lost, and bring forth old and new from its nearly inexhaustible store. May I know what to forgive and forget and what to retain and treasure, keeping in mind the smallest kindness shown to me and spreading its ripples for a long time.

My Review: 99 Blessings....Wow, they are!! I wasn't sure exactly what to expect when I received this book. I was so pleasantly surprised to see the candid way that Brother David speaks of the many blessings in the world. No biblical speaking...just everyday wording for everyone to understand and feel...There are so many things in life that we take for granted. There are literally and amazingly millions upon millions of blessings in this world. Thank you Brother David for bringing these blessing to light for everyone to reflect on and thank God for!!
