Movie Review: Love & Friendship

Allison and I hit up Love & Friendship this weekend. We wanted to see The Lobster, but alas, it's already left the theaters. So we went for another artsy movie that we thought would probably be gone long before Ghostbusters or Bad Moms which we want to see.

Before I get into the movie review, I thought it'd be fun to take a quick walk down memory lane. Allison just moved and was purging and found our 2nd and 3rd grade class pictures. SO HILARIOUS.

2nd grade - hard to believe this was almost 30 years ago!

{Especially since we're only 25}

3rd grade - 

I remember being so upset that I was taller than Allison and had to be on the 2nd row!

So now onto the movie!

Plot: Lady Susan Vernon takes up temporary residence at her in-laws' estate and, while there, is determined to be a matchmaker for her daughter Frederica -- and herself naturally, too.

Review: I would say I liked the movie but didn't LOVE it. Kate Beckinsale's character, Lady Susan, isn't a very nice or good person, but she sure is a fun one. We laughed a lot at her antics {trying to catch a husband for herself and her daughter} as well as some of the minor characters. It wasn't a very deep movie, but I think we both left the theater happy we'd seen it!

Five on Friday

I haven't done a Five on Friday in a while. I guess it takes me a while to have 5 things worth sharing. Not sure how people do this every Friday! {grin}

ONE

Think Dirty

I downloaded this app, and it's awesome. It tells you how clean (0-3) or dirty (7-10) your skincare products are. I have been a scanning fool at the grocery store lately trying to find cleaner products for myself and the kids. I've updated my shampoo, their baby wash {for both see TWO}, my makeup, my face wash {got it from a 10 -> 5...not perfect but better}. So neat!

TWO 

Puracy

My BFF told me to try this brand. I LOVE IT. I am using it for laundry detergent, shampoo, kid body wash/shampoo, stain remover. It is clean, smells good, and WORKS! And check out this commercial - it's my BFF!!

THREE

Overdrive listening

I've talked in the past about my love for the electronic library that I have access to with my library card. But I think I love it even more for the audiobooks for Trent. We love finding new books for him to listen to, and that's what he does right before he goes to bed. He's listened to a ton of Boxcar Children books, I had him listen to The Indian in the Cupboard {throwback for me!}, Disney books...all kinds of stuff. I love that he loves listening {and of course he loves to read too}, and that this just continues to nurture a love for storytelling/books!

FOUR

Natives

Everywhere I look on social media, I see kids in Natives. They seem to be the new Crocs. So I jumped on the band wagon and ordered some for the kids. Trent hates his and Drew's are too big, ha. But hopefully in a few months, she'll be rocking hers. Anybody else try them?

FIVE

Have you seen the trailer for the new Gilmore Girls?

I have one word: SQUEEEEEE!
