Hocus Pocus Dessert Board
Oh, look another glorious dessert board—makes me sick! As a huge fan of Hocus Pocus, you know I couldn’t miss the opportunity to make a fun Hocus Pocus themed dessert board to go with my backyard watch party.
The board contained sugar cookies of all the main characters as well as a few of my favorite sayings, and you can’t forget booooook brownies!
Jack’s Birthday Cakes
If you know me, you know that Jack is my child, and I strive to give him the best life. That being said, every single year I have gotten him a cake for his birthday and in honor of his 10th birthday, I am sharing the past 10 years in birthday cakes. Hope you enjoy this walk down memory lane as much as I did.
Flannel and Flapjacks: Jack Turns 10
Happy 10th Birthday, Jack! I would be lying if I said I was excited about this birthday, but the truth is I have been trying all weekend and snuggling him so hard. Time truly flies when you’re having fun, and this little guy and I have been living out our best lives. Here are my favorite pictures from Jack’s flannel and flapjack’s birthday party.
Movie Review: Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is a feel-good fashion fairytale. And you’ll be pleased to learn that in the new film Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (in theaters Friday, July 15), Mrs. Harris does, in fact, go to Paris. Get ready for all your Paris dreams to come true.
Lesley Manville plays the role of Mrs. Harris or Ada as her friends know her. Mrs. Harris is a London house cleaner often relied on for emotional support by her clients, and some take advantage of her when it comes to paying.
Mrs. Harris is the dreamer we all are. She’s waiting for her husband to return from war (numerous years have passed) he flew a mission, and his plane went down. Technically he’s still missing in action, and Mrs. Harris is the only one with faith that he could still return home.
One day while Mrs. Harris is working for her wealthiest client and most dreadful she gets a glimpse of a gorgeous Dior dress, and it’s at that most things start moving in a positive direction for the ever-so-lovely Mrs. Harris.
While Mrs. Harris is jotting down notes and figuring out numbers and how much money she gets a knock on the door. Out of the blue Mrs. Harris receives the closure that she needed—her beloved husband has passed away. There’s a bit of war widow money to be collected, combined with a lucky turn at a local lottery, which gives Mrs. Harris the wild idea to head to Paris and get herself a Dior dress.
Like many of us, Mrs. Harris is a dreamer. And after spotting that gorgeous Dior frock at her clients, she wanted something special in her life, we’ve all been there.
I bet you’re wondering how is a house cleaner going to get to Paris, and get the frock of her dreams—with great determination, that’s how. Mrs. Harris walks into Dior off the street where a fashion show is going on. She has a stack of cash, a dream, and of course a dreadful woman standing in her way trying to have her removed.
The movie continues as the Dior fashion show stuns, and Mrs. Harris works to make her dreams of owning a Dior frock come true. She meets new friends along the way, turns enemies into friends, and helps others discover their way.
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is for the dreamers. It’s the movie we all want to see right now. Grab your girlfriends or go alone, just grab some popcorn and enjoy one of my favorite movies that have come out this year.
Nomadik Subscription Review: Light the Night Box
I received this Nomadik subscription box in exchange for my honest review.
I’m back to provide another review on this month’s Nomadik box and let me spill something right now. Hands down this is my favorite box that I’ve received. I’ll be really honest, the box arrived right before I left for my Joshua Tree trip, and I took most of the contents of the box with me. I am sharing my full review of the Light the Night Nomadik Subscription box, as well as each product that was in the box below. This is one review you don’t want to miss.
What was in the Light the Night Subscription Box?
Sun Company Versa 360 Rechargeable Headlamp
I knew I would be doing a night hike while in Joshua Tree, and already had my headlamp packed. My headlamp takes batteries and they don’t last very long in the extreme heat or cold. Once the Light the Night Nomadik box arrives and I discovered the rechargeable headlamp, I took mine out of my pack and packed this one.
Honestly, the headlamp was amazing. The ball joint gives the light 360 degrees of movement, there are 6 white LEDs and 3 red LEDs. The headlamp charges via USB and has a full charge in just 4 hours and has become my adventure must-have.
One80Light Light Diffusing Bag
The multipurpose drawstring bag can easily turn into a hanging lantern by putting a headlamp inside. The bag diffuses the light inside, creating the perfect ambiance at your campsite. The ambiance it creates is truly wonderful.
Nite Ize BugLit LED Micro Flashlight
Equipped with bendable gear tie legs that can be bent, wrapped, or twisted to hold the light anywhere and everywhere. Lately, I have been using the S-Biner clip and attached this cute little bug to my keychain.
Coghlan’s Reflective Guy Line—25 feet
Reflective Guy Line is the product I didn’t know that I needed. This highly visible line minimizes any tripping on your tent or tarp in low light. It’s also great for trail marking.
Overall Thoughts
Loved the Light the Night Nomadik box so much. I have already used every single product multiple times, and the headlamp was amazing for lighting up Heart Rock in Joshua Tree.
