A few weeks before Christmas I invited everyone I knew for a little shopping at my house to support shopping local! <br />
<br />
First up, a little wine and sweets were on hand to accompany our shopping. I used a plaid blanket that I found at a thrift store as the tablecloth.<br />

I loved Colleen's pillows and beautiful signs. Each piece was available for custom design, so people could swap out what their signs said and the finishes. The signs with the string lights were sold first. Adorable! <br />

The red cups are back. Uh oh. That means it is <i>that</i> time of year again! I know people out there get annoyed that Christmas is in stores the literal second Halloween is over, but I love it. I love everything about Christmas, so if I can enjoy it a bit longer, I will! <br />
<br />
With this season means annual photos with your family photographer or getting your Christmas cards ready. I love getting actual mail (you know, the good ole days) and seeing all the beautiful cards our friends & family pick out. We are taking our family photos next week, so I always start to scout out the perfect Christmas cards.<br />
<br />
One of my go-to places for beautiful cards is <a href="http://minted.com/">Minted.com</a>! One of the things I love about Minted is that they have so many individual designers to fit all tastes and the quality is superb. Plus I love that you can completely customize your favorite design. I used Minted for Drew's 3rd birthday last year...<br />

I thought I'd take a moment to share some of my favorite <a href="http://www.minted.com/photo-christmas-cards?it_category=n_holiday&it_id=c1i2h&us=new+visitor" target="_blank">Christmas cards</a> that I have my eye on! <br />
<br />
I have to admit, I'm a total sucker for handwriting or any type of scripted font. That is where my eye goes every time. My style generally tends to be pretty simple when it comes to the card, as I like our photo to stand out. <br />
<br />
I love the simplicity of both of these designs! I prefer cards that say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays. <br />
<br />

<br />
I am also completely biased to any Christmas card that says "Joy". It's my middle name, and my mom had started an ornament collection for me from a young age of all "Joy" ornaments, so I'm a bit partial. Here are my favorites:<br />

When making my decision, I am so visual, so I end up uploading my favorite family photos and trying them out in my favorite designs to see which one looks the best. A big part has to do with the color schemes in our pictures and what options each card has. </div>

Like every other mom of a little girl this year, a Frozen party was imminent. <i>Let It Go</i> had been played in a constant loop in our house, making my husband seriously consider checking himself into a loony bin. BUT I do love this movie, and it was so easy to find inspiration. <br />
<br />
I usually start my party-planning juices flowing by starting with a color scheme. I saw a lot of the parties that were on Pinterest and most of them were all about Elsa and the icy colors. I decided to play off of Anna & Elsa's dresses. I did not want anything literal "Frozen" in the decor. First up, was the invitation design. Whenever I can, I always prefer a invitation via mail versus an E-vite. Don't get me wrong, I love E-vites and have used them tons, but for this party, I wanted to set the tone early. I collaborated with Colleen from <a href="http://www.outsidethebloom.com/" target="_blank">Outside The Bloom</a>. Colleen has the most beautiful handwriting and completely "got" what I was going for. We added some glitter and washi tape and the invites were on their way!<br />

You have to admit, Frozen has a lot of funny moments. Anna always has the best lines, but if you really pay attention, Kristoff has some of the <i>best</i> lines. When I met with Colleen, I knew I wanted to highlight some of my favorite quotes from the movie, and I could not have been more happy with the designs she came up with! </div>

Now it was time to get the party started! Us here in San Diego had the hottest, longest summer ever. Yes, we are spoiled, but we love when summer starts to wind down and we get to trade in our flip flops for an occasional boot. Maybe even an Ugg boot if we're lucky in December. But, this September was so stinkin' hot, we decided to do a little twist on Frozen and get <u>frozen</u> shave ice. <a href="http://snocalshavedice.com/" target="_blank">Sno Cal Shave Ice</a> was so awesome and served our guests as they arrived. It was a perfect way to start our party off with a frozen treat! </div>

These ladies from <a href="http://royalentertainers.com/" target="_blank">Royal Entertainers</a> were amazing. Not only were they absolutely beautiful, they were so talented....so great with the girls and both had amazing voices. I worked with Royal Entertainers last year, when Cinderella paid us a visit. They were so great to work with and were happy to accommodate my kinda-random request to have Anna do braids in the girl's hair! </div>

The finale of any party is the cake! I worked with <a href="http://www.crimsoncake.com/" target="_blank">Crimson Cake</a> this year and I could not be happier. As mentioned above, I didn't want anything "literal" at the party. I used the dresses as inspiration and it really was a great centerpiece. </div>

Lastly, I had so much fun with the goodie bags! Drew loves bracelets and to accessorize. It's her thing. So, I wanted to do a personal, handmade touch to the goodie bags, so I made some Elsa inspired bracelets. </div>

Hello! I am back after a year long hiatus from this blog. I needed a break. I'm excited to get re-acquainted with my readers! Let's catch up!<br />
<br />
For the last 14 years, I have been working in corporate America. Most recently, I was a Vice President of Human Resources. I was in a high stress job, had a looonnnngggg commute every day, a husband and two littles at home. Enough was enough, and I finally decided to leave. It was the scariest and best decision I have made. 2014 was just kicking my bootie. Has this been a tough year for anyone else? I am now getting used to the struggles SAHM's face...swapping that for the struggles of a working mom. My kids and I are "adjusting". <br />
<br />
I am excited to be back using this blog as a creative outlet. For those readers who have stuck around and new readers visiting from Pinterest or other blogs, I'm so happy to have you. <br />
<br />

Last month, my friend Wendy (who I've also known since 1st grade) and I threw Michelle a bridal shower.<br />
<br />
When Wendy and I were trying to come up with a theme, we were trying to stay consistent with the theme of the wedding. Since we had just ordered our bridesmaids dresses, which are mint, we went from there. Wendy's super talented sister, Merilee Hennings, of <a href="http://www.everafterevents.biz/" target="_blank">EverAfter Events</a> actually came up with "Mint To Be" and our theme was born! <br />

<br />
For flowers, I stuck with a neutral palate, keeping a shabby-chic style. I used my all-time favorite feverfew (chamomile), scabiosa, spray roses, dahlias, and brown roses to incorporate the burlap.<br />
<br />

I got a few DIY tips from Pinterest. In the below pic I just painted a bunch of glass mason jars and cheap vases all different shades of mint for the flowers. I painted the "our forevers go together" as just a decorative touch to set out.<br />

As the guest entered into the main shower area, I wrote this out on one of my chalkboards. Above this sign I hung a banner I made which read "Miss to Mrs".<br />

Michelle's fiance is Ryan Hansen. It somehow just came to me that we should have Hansen's soda. When I went to Sprouts to buy them, I couldn't believe they had cans that we mint! It was perfect and such a fun touch! Below is the soon-to-be Mrs. Hansen. Straws by Shop Sweet Lulu.<br />

For favors, we found this idea from Martha Stewart weddings. So happy with how they turned out. All the paper was done by Invitation Factory.<br />

Wendy and I knew we didn't want to do traditional bridal shower games. Our guest list was a combination of young women and ladies. I had seen adorable DIY headband stations at baby showers so I figured we could use the same concept for a DIY Garter bar. We were so lucky that mint is such a popular color right now. We set out ribbons, hot glue guns and tags for everyone to label which one they did with a special note. <br />

Our other shower activity was these date night cards. We had everyone come up with ideas of fun dates. We collected them all and put them in an album for Michelle. She picked her favorite date, which was build a fort in your living room, make smores, and watch a movie while cuddling! Cute huh? The favorite date also won a prize. </div>

The shower was at 1:00, so we had light appetizers for the ladies to snack on. We had hummus and crackers in these adorable snack cups from Sweet Lulu. The striped cups and spoons are also from Sweet Lulu. The are filled with the most amazing pasta salad from Waters Catering called Acini de Pepe. Such a hit! <br />

SO happy with how our cake turned out. I saw this cake on <a href="http://pinterest.com/daisydreaming/michelles-shower/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and thought it would be perfect. I've worked with the girls at <a href="http://www.fabcakes.com/" target="_blank">CAKE</a> here in San Diego so many times, I knew we just had to have them do this for me. It was delicious as always, banana truffle. YUM. <br />

Since December, we
lost A LOT of photos from iPhoto and then my phone was destroyed, so
I've had a few "technical difficulties" of late. <br />
<br />
I'm excited to share our newest prints to the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/JustDaisyDreaming" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>! We have a girl version, "Butterflies" and a boy version, "Dragons". Both are 12x18 and make an adorable and unique baby shower gift, birthday present, or just an addition to your little one's room. <br />

Last year was the first time we "planted" jelly beans and woke up the next morning to see if the lollipops had grown. Well, Micah distinctly remembered that, so we did it again. They were just as excited the second time around! </div>

I'm back! Sorry for the delay in posts! We had some computer "issues" and couldn't upload pictures for about a month! I'm back and so happy to share with you my son's 4th birthday party, which was themed after his favorite book, "If You Give A Moose A Muffin". If you missed the post, check out the invitations <a href="http://www.justdaisydreaming.blogspot.com/2012/11/if-you-give-moose-muffin-party.html" target="_blank">here</a>, designed by Alice of <a href="http://www.quallscreative.com/" target="_blank">Qualls Creative</a>.<br />
<br />
First up, meet Mr. Moose. This guy was created from paper mache, by none other than my very talented dad. He is just the cutest thing and was the perfect "centerpiece" for the party (and quite a conversations piece, I might add). <br />

I chose to do a brunch (duh, muffins) for food. It was so fun to put together the menu. Almost everything I made was mini or a small serving, so everyone had a little bit of everything. I made copies of the entire book and mounted parts on foam board. I tried to re-create some of the more detailed parts of the book as decoration. In the book (I wrote out the book below), Moose gets cold so he asks to borrow a sweater....then he notices one of the buttons is loose. So, I ordered red, cabled sweater fabric to act as a thick, cozy tablecloth. It matched perfectly!<br />

I made these mini chocolate chip pancake muffins. I had been saving this recipe from <a href="http://www.bakerella.com/mini-maple-pancake-muffins/" target="_blank">Bakerella</a> for awhile and Micah's party was the perfect excuse to make them. I served them with maple dipping syrup. Delish and super easy. </div>

I also made these Donut Muffins. These are dense just like donuts and are topped with cinnamon and sugar. Perfect for dipping into coffee, which we had plenty of Starbucks on hand. Please note, that I am so crazy with the details that these cupcake liners matched a napkin Moose uses in the book. I'm sure I'm the only person who noticed! :) <br />

Mini chocolate cupcakes with a blackberry frosting with real blackberries on top, compliments of <a href="http://www.elizabethandesserts.com/" target="_blank">Elizabethan Desserts</a>, one of my favorite local bakeries. Moose loves blackberry jam, so naturally, I'm sure he would love a blackberry cupcake. They were <i>almost</i> too pretty to eat. <i>Almost</i>. </div>

I thought it would be yummy to also make smoothies. I re-created my favorite Jamba Juice smoothie, the Aloha Pineapple (strawberries, banana, pineapple juice, plain yogurt, and pineapple sherbet). This picture was taken after I ran out of the smaller shot cups. I didn't expect them to be as popular as they were! Also not pictured was the candied bacon (basically thick cut bacon smothered in brown sugar) I did. Not only did this make my house smell amazing, it tasted wonderful. Check out my <a href="http://pinterest.com/daisydreaming/micah-s-moose-a-muffin-party/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> board to find the recipe I used! </div>

I am obsessed with this apple pie oatmeal recipe I found on Pinterest. You put it in the slow cooker overnight and have a yummy and healthy (well, healthy before all the brown sugar I added on top) breakfast. I got these mini plastic bowls and kept the crock pot close so people could serve it up nice and warm. Soooo good. <br />

I <i>had</i> to have blackberry jam.

Moose paints a backdrop for their puppet show, which I re-created. We set up poster board and had paint cups and brushes for the kiddos. Lastly, we had story time, where I read the book for all the kids. <br />

<b>If You Give A Moose A Muffin</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>by Laura Joffe Numeroff</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you give a moose a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, you'll bring out some of your mother's homemade blackberry jam. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When he's finished eating the muffin, he'll want another, and another, and another. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When they're all gone, he'll ask you to make more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll have to go to the store to get some muffin mix. He'll want to go with you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When he opens the door and feels how chilly it is, he'll ask to borrow a sweater. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When he puts the sweater on, he'll notice one of the buttons in loose. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He'll ask for a needle and thread. He'll start sewing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The button will remind him of the sock puppets his grandmother used to make. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So he'll ask for some old socks. He'll make sock puppets. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When they're done, he'll want to put on a puppet show. He'll need some cardboard and paints. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then he'll ask you to help make the scenery. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the scenery is finished, he'll get behind the couch, but his antlers will stick out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He'll ask you for something to cover them up. You'll bring him a sheet from your bed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When he sees the sheet he'll remember he wants to be a ghost for Halloween. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He'll try it on and shout, "BOO!" It'll scare him so much he'll knock over the paints. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So he'll use the sheet to clean up the mess. Then he'll ask for some soap to wash it out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He'll probably want to hang the sheet up to dry. He'll go outside to put it on the clothesline. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When he's out in the yard, he'll see your mother's blackberry bushes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seeing the blackberries will remind him of her jam. He'll probably ask you for some. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And chances are...if you give him the jam, he'll want a muffin to go with it. </div>

We've had camping, surfing, and the letter "B" parties so far. This year selecting the theme for his party was super easy. After reading Laura Joffe Numeroff's book, "If You Give A Moose A Muffin" for the 800th time, the idea just kinda came to me! <br />
<br />
This has turned out to be such a fun theme, since I really do love the book as well. It is perfect for a December party. Looking forward to sharing more details with you soon!<br />

Welcome to October! The holiday season is upon us already, which is hard to believe! Recently, the glitter reindeer I did for last Christmas has been making its way around Pinterest, most noteably re-pinned by the <a href="http://theglitterguide.com/" target="_blank">Glitter Guide</a>, fittingly. <a href="http://justdaisydreaming.blogspot.com/2011/11/glitter-reindeer.html" target="_blank">Here</a> is the original post and tutorial. <br />

Kristin from <a href="http://bliss-athome.com/" target="_blank">Bliss At Home</a> found me from Pinterest and let me know that she did her own glitter reindeer, inspired by mine.

person present contributed a share of the provisions: no, a pleasure
party including an excursion to some spot in the country where all
partake of a repast out of doors.” – Oxford English Dictionary<br />
<br />
My baby girl, Drew Elizabeth turned two on September 2nd. I started planning early on in the summer so that I'd have plenty of time to get all the details in that I wanted. The theme I chose was a "Pretty Picnic Party", with a little bit of a twist. No, there were no eating on picnic blankets or traditional picnic baskets, but we had a great time outside with our friends.<br />
<br />
I ordered very simple invitations from Tiny Prints and lined the inside of the plain envelopes with this awesome pink ombre napkins from Target. <br />

This was a super easy DIY project. I found the idea on Pinterest, which is hugely becoming a great place to find great inspiration for all things, but especially parties! You can follow me <a href="http://pinterest.com/daisydreaming/" target="_blank">here</a>. Once I had selected my fabrics, I glued them into Mason jars and used them as vases. <br />

Some of my favorite flowers were available at the flower market before the party and I was so excited. Feverfew (mini daisies) and anemones! I put them in these adorable berry baskets from <a href="http://www.shopsweetlulu.com/" target="_blank">Sweet Lulu</a>. <br />

I used these cute baskets from <a href="http://www.thinkgarnish.com/store/" target="_blank">Garnish</a>. Below are the kids baskets which included a heart shaped PB&J, a fruit cup, and mac n cheese. Oh and a little Pocky on the side! The bags, fruit cups, and zig zag spoons are from <a href="http://www.shopsweetlulu.com/" target="_blank">Sweet Lulu</a>. The chips bags were an easy DIY. I got the craft paper bags from Michael's, as well as the doiles. I found the "D" stamp in the $1 bin at Michael's and wah-la! <br />

Below are the adult picnic baskets. I stamped the cute "2" from Paper Source on the treat bags, which included yummy turkey sandwiches. I made the potato salad and the green salad in the cup. It was so fun for guests to be able to just go grab their basket and have everything in there. <br />

This is our gelato stand! My dad made this for me from scratch! The backdrop is a vintage sheet that I found at an estate sale. The cute chalkboard sign is from the $1 bin at Target. My dad and I made the tarp on top and I did the banner. So happy with how it turned out! <br />

How amazing does this gelato look? It tasted <em>just</em> as amazing! We even had sample spoons for people to try. The strawberry, salted caramel, and brown-sugar sour cream gelato was from <a href="http://escogelato.com/" target="_blank">EscoGelato</a>. If you live in San Diego County, you've got to check them out! The lemon cheesecake gelato was from Bubby's in Encinitas, another local favorite. <br />

As favors, we had pints (from Sweet Lulu, as almost all of our parties supplies are always from!) of gelato for guest to take home and miniature "pie bits" from the amazing <a href="http://www.elizabethandesserts.com/" target="_blank">Elizabethan Desserts</a>. Some of our guests got inventive and combined the apple crumb pie with the brown sugar-sour cream gelato. I had a taste and it was amazing! Below, I got a simple chalk board and just attached a few doiles from Michael's. P.S. A chalk pen is a must! <br />

I had so much fun with this party! It was girly and vintage and sweet. It was really fun to spend time with our closest family and friends to celebrate my beautiful baby girl on her special day. Hope you enjoyed! Plan on seeing the gelato stand make appearances at many more parties to come. Now, on to planning Micah's 4th birthday in December! <br />

We arrived on a Thursday around 4:00 in Sacramento and drove to Napa. We arrived just in time for a wine reception at the Marriott in Napa. A nice way to start our trip!<br />

Next up, we had reservations at <a href="http://www.bouchonbistro.com/" target="_blank">Bouchon</a> in Yountville. My cousin works at Bouchon, so I was excited to see him and have dinner with him and his lovely girlfriend. As everyone ate seafood and some more adventurous items, I snacked on bread and butter (and wine). Reminded me of the French butter we had on our honeymoon in Bora Bora! Delicious! <br />

I had the steak frites with truffle french fries. That was one amazing meal. I loved hearing stories of all the famous people that my cousin has seen in the restaurant and how cool Thomas Keller is. <br />

We also grabbed some macaroons for the kids and my parents. The carmel macaroon was my favorite! We went to a tasting at <a href="http://jessupcellars.com/" target="_blank">Jessup Cellars</a> next in Yountville. We had a private tasting set up by my cousin's girlfriend. I have never had wine at 11:00 a.m. in my life, but it was fun! The pairing came with some yummy cheese and dark chocolate. Next up we headed to lunch at <a href="http://mustardsgrill.com/" target="_blank">Mustard's Grill</a>. Jason and I split a burger and a salad. Literally everything we ate on this trip was soooooo good. <br />

After stuffing ourselves, we decided to drive around and headed up to the <a href="http://www.aubergedusoleil.com/" target="_blank">Auberge Du Soleil. </a><br />
I had looked into staying at this hotel, as it is related to our L'Auberge in Del Mar. A bit pricey, we opted for the Marriott since we'd be out and about so much. We decided to go get some coffee and dessert on their terrace. What an amazing view! I think next time we go to Napa we may have to splurge and stay here! <br />

So full at this point, we weren't sure if we could head to another tasting just yet, so we drove around some more and walked around some vineyards. It was perfect weather. After walking off our meal, we went to the <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CEcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jamescolewinery.com%2F&ei=4EEcULjdGIaKjAKVrYCoBg&usg=AFQjCNEaxKRDY76mkYeVDJfMgLZ4dPMKKA" target="_blank">James Cole </a>Winery, where my cousin's girlfriend works. We then headed back to Yountville, where Jason surprised me with an impromptu couples massage appointment he had made! It was so relaxing and a great way to unwind! That was our first couples massage since our honeymoon!<br />
<br />
That night, we went to <a href="http://www.presssthelena.com/" target="_blank">Press</a> in St. Helena for dinner. This restaurant was totally Jason and my styles. We had a lovely time and a fabulous meal.<br />

The next day, Saturday, was Jason's birthday. We woke up, checked out, and headed back out to St. Helena to the <a href="http://themodelbakery.com/" target="_blank">Model Bakery</a>, which we heard had the world's best english muffins. We both got the breakfast sandwich and coffee. It was a nice, light, breakfast after all the eating we had done the day before! They really were so good we got a bunch to go.<br />

After walking around St. Helena, we headed to Calistoga to go to the <a href="http://www.schramsberg.com/" target="_blank">Schramsberg</a> Winery for a cave tour and tasting at 11:30. What a cool experience that was. We loved hearing the history and then getting see the caves gave a whole new appreciation for the art of wine making! We both really enjoyed all the wines. After an hour, I was ready to get out of the musty caves and see the sunshine! So, on we went back to Yountville, for our final stop before the airport. We had reservations at <a href="http://botteganapavalley.com/index.html" target="_blank">Bottega</a> for lunch. After watching Top Chef Masters, I had a little crush on Michael Chiarello, and kinda hoped I'd see him. No such luck, but had such a yummy lunch. I was a little nervous eating here, since the menu seemed a little more adventurous than I'm comfortable with, but in the end, I trusted our waiter and just loved the gnocchi with squash. Jason had some kind of pasta with rabbit ragu. I had to get over that...<br />
<br />
We made one last stop at Bouchon Bakery to stock up on some goodies for my parents and the kids. Bouchon was having their annual Bastille Day celebration, so we stopped there and said goodbye to my cousin. Wished we could've stayed longer for the festivities! <br />
<br />
We finally made it home on Saturday night to see my two babes. We got lots of hugs and kisses. We had such a fun trip and 2 1/2 days was just perfect for us. Can't wait to go back!<br />

I'm so excited to share with you that my friend Jen's wedding is up on <b><a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2012/07/02/inn-at-rancho-santa-fe-wedding-by-joyful-weddings-and-events/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Style Me Pretty</span></a></b> today! Not only is Jen a great friend, she has fabulous taste! When we set out to start styling her wedding and flowers, she knew she wanted grey & white and elegant. <br />
<br />
Below is a picture of her bouquet. One of my favorites..ever! I was so excited that in October I was able to get my hands on some white anemones and ranunculas. This wedding was the first time I did a ribbon backdrop. It was actually really fun and alot easier than I thought. I found the dining table pictured below and a dresser (pictured in the Style Me Pretty gallery) on Craigslist and painted them gray. I also did the custom banners (a few throughout). There were so many fun DIY projects in this wedding! <br />

I used to be a big movie buff before I got married and had kids. I was born in the late '70s, and the very first movie I went to was E.T. I grew up watching old black and white movies with mom. She didn't particularly like musicals or westerns, so we watched alot of dramas and suspense movies. I specifically remember watching classics like Jane Eyre, Pride & Prejudice (with Greer Garson), An Affair To Remember, Gone With The Wind, To Kill A Mockingbird, Rear Window, Rebecca, Dial M For Murder, Wuthering Heights, Roman Holiday, Mildred Pierce....I could go on and on. By the time I was in high school, I had seen all the major classics.<br />
<br />
Through my teen and college years I loved seeing all those romantic comedies that came about. I also saw Steel Magnolias, and to this day, it remains one of my top favorites. In high school I got hooked on the British movies. My obsession with Jane Austen began thanks to Colin Firth (a.k.a. Mr. Darcy). I skipped over seeing the major movies from the 1970's and 80's. To this day, I've never seen classics like Annie Hall, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Kramer vs. Kramer, etc.<br />
<br />
I recently stumbled upon Ordinary People from 1980. The first time I saw this movie was in a Psychology class in college, so probably about 15 years ago. For those of you who don't know, Ordinary People was directed by Robert Redford and starred Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, and Timothy Hutton. As explained from IMDb the synopsis is, "The accidental death of the older son of an affluent family deeply
strains the relationships among the bitter mother, the good-natured
father, and the guilt-ridden younger son".<br />
<br />
Sounds like a downer, right? Well, I remembered it being powerful so I recorded it and decided to watch it recently. This movie is such an awesome character study. I was immediately struck with what amazing acting and the screenplay. One of the best scenes is towards the end when the son has a revelation in his therapy, and his therapist (Judd Hirsch) says to him, "feelings are scary and sometimes they are painful, and if you can't feel pain, you're not going to feel anything else either".<br />
<br />
After watching the movie, I realized what a HUGE difference there is in movies now. They just don't make good movies anymore. I have not been to a movie theater in almost 3 years. There hasn't been one that has come out that has made me want to go. It seems that movies are all about blowing things up, special effects, and naked people. Maybe it's just that my preference is for character studies or romantic comedies (I am a girl after all). I just wished that these filmmakers would start making movies that are relate-able with people instead of trying to be the next controversial movie that pushes the limits, or is about people getting hunted down by ax-murderers, or is over-the-top disturbing in some way. I've seen a few of the recent movies that were nominated for best picture. I get why the movie was nominated, but honestly, none of them left me feeling, well...anything! <br />
<br />
When was the last time you watched a movie that really made you think or the movie stayed with you for awhile after? My guess it is few and far between! I'd love to hear back from you about your favorite classics that I should try watching!daisy dreaminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14789152381447480760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019403730167347016.post-7952686809132399302012-06-29T12:12:00.001-07:002012-06-29T12:12:03.461-07:00Have a great weekend!Happy Friday!

I have some fun and exciting news to share. Awhile back, the ladies over at <a href="http://www.fabcakes.com/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #76a5af;">CAKE</span></strong></a> let me know that some of their cakes were going to be published in a book...the author contacted me for my information and then a lot of time went by with no word, and I honestly forgot about it! But just this week we learned that the book was just published! <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Our trip to Charleston started out with my first time flying first class. It was ah-mazing and such a relaxing way to fly across country! I watched "We Bought A Zoo" which was cute but cheesy. Can't go wrong looking at Matt Damon for 2 hours though! The little girl in the movie reminded me so much of my little Drew. I saw in the credits her name is Maggie Elizabeth Jones....too funny! </td></tr>

Well, that's all she wrote on our trip. It was such a great time to get away and see good friends. We wished we could have had one extra day to explore! If you've never been, I highly recommend going to Charleston!daisy dreaminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14789152381447480760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019403730167347016.post-52139641609567019102012-04-18T07:00:00.006-07:002012-04-18T07:00:00.429-07:00Tristan Quigley Designs<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYVf1FGcLEub3aXQ3crmOIyIQoek4pB7HZEteL3pGf3ZKG9xVi5mASdNxpelA_mBldPhP0FQRBdHheOXm8CmiwgHthQXmwsgjPnp7n5AcSiP5-ysVz0dYNaFxDLs1zTaGLhn8ZDeDMoDXE/s1600/TQD.png"><img style="width: 120px; height: 120px; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704203934577595794" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYVf1FGcLEub3aXQ3crmOIyIQoek4pB7HZEteL3pGf3ZKG9xVi5mASdNxpelA_mBldPhP0FQRBdHheOXm8CmiwgHthQXmwsgjPnp7n5AcSiP5-ysVz0dYNaFxDLs1zTaGLhn8ZDeDMoDXE/s400/TQD.png" border="0" /></a></div><div><br />A way long time ago I went to an outdoor even in our little community in San Elijo. Tristan Quigley had a booth set up with beautiful pictures of her kids that immediately drew me to her. I took her card and tucked it away. Back in November, I contacted Tristan and we immediately connected. Tristan ended up shooting our beautiful family pictures shortly after. I cannot say enough great things about Tristan! Being a mom herself, she knows how to work with the kids and has patience. Drew gave her a run for her money that day, I assure you!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ab8eDT6bhvZ_L9Dy2i6EC0RNNtoY-TW6SMpvscGjQA-FhZ6W6WVQR01pN06Y3XPfShSNEAq3S5JVQWfqz_ps7BFsDsjy5XMROiZxmM2KZpvMk9AZkfs_00iHZ7k9-VqTls4B4Iym9LiO/s1600/IMG_1958.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ab8eDT6bhvZ_L9Dy2i6EC0RNNtoY-TW6SMpvscGjQA-FhZ6W6WVQR01pN06Y3XPfShSNEAq3S5JVQWfqz_ps7BFsDsjy5XMROiZxmM2KZpvMk9AZkfs_00iHZ7k9-VqTls4B4Iym9LiO/s400/IMG_1958.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731462671699899634" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTsn_7G-YtCdpXgHQRCWZjpZ4QtVsFSTCRePmm_n6vd_JKeFo6QB7FCioN8VcZyaYgswvTYI9oF4r-MBpa7zAEfFaaUQPb_cGo8kMcVfkAfgI4WHEADexSt_dwHA5yTfVLUYtcM6f5vuu-/s1600/IMG_1957.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTsn_7G-YtCdpXgHQRCWZjpZ4QtVsFSTCRePmm_n6vd_JKeFo6QB7FCioN8VcZyaYgswvTYI9oF4r-MBpa7zAEfFaaUQPb_cGo8kMcVfkAfgI4WHEADexSt_dwHA5yTfVLUYtcM6f5vuu-/s400/IMG_1957.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731462665515637794" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: left;">Check out Tristan's <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(192, 192, 192);" href="http://tristanquigleydesigns.com/">website</a> and <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(192, 192, 192);" href="http://tristanquigleydesigns.com/blog/?p=374">here</a> was her blog post of our session.
