I’ve been watching these movies either …

Comfy, Cozy Cinema: Bringing Up Baby
This week we had to switch up the movie we were watching because Amazon and Frevee and all the other free streaming services removed Skylark, which is the second movie in the Sarah, Plain, and Tall series.

Do you ever look back at the previous month and can’t remember what you did during it or if any of it was worth mentioning? That’s me pretty much every month. Ha! But last month really was not terribly exciting for us and I think that is just fine. We did celebrate Little Miss’s birthday …
