Hello blogging world....

My name is Erin and I am a mother from Seattle, Wa. I am grateful to be able to stay home with my three children, and though it is the most trying job in the world, it is also the greatest one. I am so thankful to have this time with my beautiful children; they are growing up so quickly.

One of my passions aside from motherhood is movies. I just adore them. Not sure where this obsession first began, but I have a feeling it started with the classic ET when I was a small girl. Since then, I have not just sat silently watching, but always analyzing and critiquing as I go along. So, with this in mind, I decided to start this little blog and put my thoughts on "paper" for all see, and criticize. :) I don't profess to be a great writer; just someone who has a few things to share. Feel free to leave comments, questions, etc. My format won't be an organized one, just whatever comes to mind.

All Time Favorite

I have decided to begin my first review with my favorite movie of all time. And this movie has been my favorite since I was about 8 years old, never changed, never varied. I may be called old fashioned, but I can't help it if this movie has such a hold on me. I still watch it every Christmas season, and sometimes more often then that. :) It is a tradition for my mom and I to watch it as the first Christmas movie of the year, always together and always making our favorite baked goods. Great thing to look forward to every year.
It's a Wonderful Life


Every movie is created with some passion and intent behind it. And all of us react to individual movies in different ways, mainly how it effects us personally or how we relate to the story being told. But then there are the "classics". In my mind, these are the timeless stories that never get old in our minds, the ones that we can watch over and over again and still not get enough. That we watch anxiously, though we already know the outcome. These are the ones that enter our hearts to stay. That is how I feel about this timeless movie. Inspirational, beautiful message, family movie, good ol black and white, and some of the best actors and actresses that ever graced the screen. I don't think that there will ever be another to replace it.

Of course my rating, a 1 diaper day, FABULOUS (and even better if possible)!!!!!!!
