When it's winter and the "Can we go out and do something today?" questions are about to put you over the top, give in. I did; we headed out to the 2:45pm showing of Gnomeo and Juliet at the Wells Five Star Cinema. There has been a dearth of (good) movies for kids lately, have you noticed? … Continue reading Gnomeo and Juliet: Vacation week with your tween

What this woman got: Valentine edition, part 3
First order of business: skip the gym. My husband and I had planned to celebrate the day during the child-free hours we had, from 7am until about 3:30pm (the school day). There was a medical appointment (mine) at 10:30am, but that was quick and we didn't let it mess up our day. Which was good, … Continue reading What this woman got: Valentine edition, part 3

February date night
Well, it's been a while since we've been able to have a date night due to college classes resuming for our elder child (who babysits our younger child), but the planets aligned so we got our dinner and a movie. The dinner part was at Ruby's in York. We got the coupons from the SuperCoupons monthly mailer … Continue reading February date night

Snow day! Top ten (fun) things to do
I have not had a snow day for quite a while (the Christmas Blizzard doesn't count because I was too worried about my husband and son driving home from work in it to enjoy it). I decided to plan ahead for the next one, so I was ready to dive into distraction at a moment's notice. … Continue reading Snow day! Top ten (fun) things to do

Date night: payback for the chick flick
Our last date night movie was chosen by moi: How do you know (as in, "how do you know" it's a chick flick? When your husband looks around the theater and says, "Hon, I'm the only man in here," that's a big clue). This time we went to see The Fighter (his choice). Now, this is … Continue reading Date night: payback for the chick flick

New Year’s Eve, tween style
Today was a "Girl's only" day for me and my tween. We had originally planned to go shopping to spend gift cards received for Christmas (both for her and for me) but then changed the plan to include a movie with a friend. (We never did go shopping with the gift cards, come to think … Continue reading New Year’s Eve, tween style

Date night (vacation week edition)
It's been a while since we've been able to have a date night, what with the holidays coming, shopping for the holidays, wrapping for the holidays, hiding presents and then (forgetting where they were hidden) looking for the presents for the holidays.... It was nice to have Christmas behind us and get a little time … Continue reading Date night (vacation week edition)

Tangled
If you'll forgive the tired old cliché, Tangled is a "coming of age story" for Rapunzel, Flynn, and even (in a weird way, a "coming of old age" ) for Rapunzel's evil, passive-aggressive step mother (who continues the long tradition of evil stepmothers in Disney Movies.). What's totally great about Rapunzel is that she is a normal looking girl. … Continue reading Tangled

Dinner and a movie
In reviewing some of my past posts, I've noticed a date night trend toward Dinner and a Movie; this night is no different. The movie was ""What's the Story?' Morning Glory", viewed at the Wells Five Star Cinema. It almost couldn't be bad, with Diane Keaton and Harrison Ford, right? Rachel McAdams was the real … Continue reading Dinner and a movie

Date night: Maine Diner and a Movie
Date night last night was short, but great. We unexpectedly had a babysitter when I unexpectedly got out of work early, so we made the most of it. This date night consisted of dinner and a movie. Because with me it's all about the food, even though we had barely an hour before the show … Continue reading Date night: Maine Diner and a Movie
