What I'm Diggin' in June 2016

Here's what I'm currently loving ...

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. -- this movie was on my must-see list since it came out: the two main actors are SUPER HOT, it's a Guy Richie movie and they are always quotable (we trade quotes from Snatch almost daily) and what's more fun than the Cold War?! Oh, and I'm a sucker for Hugh Grant. But David thought it looked boring, so we didn't go.


Then, David saw it on a plane without me and said it was "boring."

So I waited.

Finally it's out on HBO and I made time to watch it ... and I thought it was awesome. Sure, it's missing all the intensity of the new Bond/superhero movies, but it's fun and Oh! the eye candy all around. Lots of expensive suits and cool Italian cars.

The one thing I would add -- just one shirtless scene. Is that too much to ask?

It's S'Well! It Really Is!
My S'well bottle - I don't know what witchcraft is at work but the water in this bottle stays cold, as advertised, without ice and doesn't condensate all over the place. I've left it in my hot car for several hours and it was still chilly. How??!!!!

Free Weekday Nights! - With Hebrew school, soccer and dance all ending in the last few weeks our weekday nights have opened right up. Gone are the days of taxiing kids to after-school activities. Back are the nights of home-cooked meals! Playing games! Evening reading! And going out for walks after dinner! I'm so glad I opted not to sign up the kids for any evening activities this summer. The nights are all ours!

"Girl Crush" by Little Big Town - If it's my turn to pick a song, this is the one I'm opting for because it's slow and sweet and makes me feel a little blue. You think it's about a women who is crushing on another girl and her style. But no, it's about a cheatin' man. (Little Big Town is a country music group, after all.)

Behold! Everard Blue!

Here's the After picture of our master bedroom now that the walls are a dark and moody blue. Maybe the best part is I was at work while the painters were here, so I walked in and found -- as if by magic -- the room no longer minty green but a bold blue. That's pretty awesome. They also painted the trim an eye-popping white, which I just love against this blue. And the angle is a dark beige-y, tan color that I hope goes with the headboard. I spent the evening cleaning and re-hanging the drapes, and moving the furniture back into position. It will be a while before I dare hang anything in here. I'm too in love with the walls to put too many holes in them right now. So, just in case I'm looking for this information later: The walls are "Everard Blue" by Benjamin Moore . And the tray is "Curly Willow" by Behr . Now, does that furniture look too dark against the walls or is it just me? And wouldn't a lighter wood or white look fabulous agains...

France and the Third Baby

Odd fact of the day .... The French government pays for a mother’s tummy tuck after the birth of her third child (you do have to have at least 3 babies to qualify). Found on this blog about raising kids in Southern France. Yes, I'm day-dreaming again. Related posts: All the fancy quotes My love of France runs deep, people

So Long, Hanukkah Part Two

And just as quickly it started (in New Jersey, on the night of Thanksgiving, no less), Hanukkah is over.  Our eight nights were full of fun and squealing! And lighting many candles, of course. We missed one night because we were in a hotel room after spending the whole day driving home from New Jersey -- and I just didn't have the wherewithall to pull out the menorah.  Speaking of menorah, we've replaced our old, wax-filled menorah with this lovely silver beauty given to us by David's mother. It belonged to her mother and sat in the dining room for years. Isn't it pretty?! And, the wax cleans off it much easier, so we're sure to hang on to this one for many Hanukkahs to come. I'm a sucker for traditions.  Here's some photos of the last two nights: Leah Lighting the Candles - in an Eli Manning Jersey, No Less Alice Lighting in a Top She Calls her Genie Shirt David Constructing the Cardboard Pirate Ship The Last BIG Gift?
