{Printables} “Owl Love You” Valentines

Printables· Valentine's Day

The name should say it all: I’m a sucker for cute owls. Who isn’t? So as we approach Valentine’s Day, I’ve been on the lookout for owl-themed valentines. Also, being the mother of two little boys, I wanted to put something together that wasn’t all pink, red, and hearts all over…so here’s what I’ve come up with that I would…

Have you ever had a hankering for a baked good, and you have all but ONE of the key ingredients? Well that’s the situation we found ourselves in on Saturday night. The hankering?

A Toy Story Bedroom

Home

After months of doing a little here, a little there…we have finally finished AJ’s Toy Story bedroom! We moved into our new house about a year and a half ago, and though I had set up a nursery for AJ in our previous home, it just felt too young for our now toddler. Since he loves Toy Story, Woody, and…

{Thrifty Thursday} My Pyrex Pick-Ups

Thrifty

Welcome to A Night Owl Blog! One of my favorite things to do of late is to scope out local thrift stores for all sorts of goodies. I have always been a vintage Pyrex lover; I grew up using my Mom’s beautiful gold Daisy Pyrex 4-pc bowl set and Friendship Oval divided dish (which I confiscated when I moved out…

A recent coffee stop took us to Milk & Honey Coffe A recent coffee stop took us to Milk & Honey Coffee, and I’m kind of wondering why it took us so long to visit—it’s right around the corner from our house! ā˜•šŸ¤

This cozy, faith-based neighborhood cafƩ in Old Litchfield Park has such a welcoming atmosphere, and the coffee did not disappoint.

We tried the Caramel Sea Salt Latte, Maple Whipped Latte, and Horchata Latte—and honestly, every single one was amazing. If you’re looking for a local coffee shop with great drinks, delicious sweet and savory crĆŖpes, and a cozy place to slow down, this is definitely one to add to your list.

Have you been to Milk & Honey Coffee yet? If so, what’s your go-to order?

Masterful. Epic. Unforgettable. āš”ļø Thanks to our f Masterful. Epic. Unforgettable. āš”ļø Thanks to our friends at @universalpictures and @moviesmorefun, we had the opportunity to attend the press screening of The Odyssey.

Christopher Nolan delivers everything you would expect from a film of this scale—and somehow even more. The Odyssey is masterful, epic, dark, and gritty, taking audiences on Odysseus’ relentless and often unbelievable journey home with breathtaking cinematography, massive practical sets, and the kind of storytelling only Nolan can deliver. 

Before seeing the film, I heard plenty of conversations about casting choices, but once the movie begins, none of that matters—the performances, scale, and craftsmanship completely take over. Sure, there are small things you could nitpick and some performances stand out more than others, but they never distract from what is ultimately one of the year’s most impressive cinematic achievements.

Parents, this one is rated R for violence and some language. There are a couple of brief moments of non-sexual nudity (just rear nudity), but nothing overtly sexual. The bigger thing to be aware of is the intense gore and violence, so keep that in mind for teens who may want to see it.

This is absolutely going to land in my top 5 films of the year. If you can, see it in IMAX—it deserves the biggest screen possible. Get your tickets, experience it for yourself, and see what all the hype is about.

When a story has been captivating readers for thousands of years, you know it’s worth revisiting. Huge thanks to @universalpictures @theodysseymovie and @moviesmorefun for this epic The Odyssey PR package—I had way too much fun putting together my journey essentials.

Now all that’s left to do is crack open my copy of The Odyssey and get ready for the adventure ahead.

Have you read The Odyssey, or will this be your first trip to Ithaca? šŸ—ŗļø

Thanks to our friends at @disneystudios and @allie Thanks to our friends at @disneystudios and @alliedglobalmarketing for the opportunity to screen Moana early! 🌊

The live-action Moana stays remarkably faithful to the animated classic, and while that means fans will appreciate how closely it follows the original, it also makes the remake feel a bit unnecessary just ten years later. 

Catherine Laga’aia is wonderful as Moana, and the breathtaking scenery and visuals beautifully bring the islands to life. As someone who considers the animated film one of Disney’s best, I appreciated that they didn’t try to reinvent the story.

If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly movie to enjoy together, this one definitely has my vote! Moana is in theaters now—grab the family and enjoy an adventure on the big screen! šŸŒŗšŸŽ„
