Mad Men Inspired

I don't know if any of you love Mad Men, but I usually spend the next day after a new episode airs re-watching it because I most likely spent the night before admiring hair, makeup, and outfits and not absorbing the content. Below are some favorite looks courtesy of Polyvore. Team Megan or Betty? Battle of the Drapers - I love both of their style!

Spring Project for Kids: Bird Feeder

Last time I was home, my sister had a craft planned for my niece and nephew: homemade bird feeders.  It was very simple, part delicious, and quick and easy for the kids. G and O are only 1 and 2 years old so it was very easy to catch their attention and was over before they could be distracted by other things.

All you need is:

Ribbon
Hole Punch
A cardboard toilet paper roll (or paper towel for a bigger size)
Peanut Butter
Bird Seed

FIRST: Hole punch two holes at the top of the roll on opposite sides and string your favorite color ribbon through so you can hang your new bird feeder later!

SECOND: Smother peanut butter all over the roll

THIRD: Roll your roll (ha!) in the bird seed

AND WA LA!

WARNING: Swiss Cake Rolls may be necessary to complete this craft!

Liv thought it was a purse!

Movie Junkie

New York Socialite "Holly Golightly" (Audrey Hepburn) with her ever faithful "Fred Baby" in Breakfast at Tiffany's

Those of you who know me well, know I'd prefer to stay cooped up on the couch all day on Sundays with junk food and watch old classic movies. Although I am obsessed with many of the classics - Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, etc. - some of these I could watch over and over on repeat. What I really love about watching some of my old favorites is that you can see what trends in fashion have circled their way back around to our generation. But, there's something about Audrey Hepburn in a shift dress and big hat that makes you admire her and know that no one can repeat her classic beauty. I've been working on collecting every movie she's ever starred in in her career (and I'm making pretty good progress), but aside from Audrey - here's some other favorites.  Do you have any favorite movies that you could watch over and over?

Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire in "Funny Face"

Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, Marjorie Reynolds, and Virginia Dale in "Holiday Inn"

Sassy interior designer played by Doris Day and the handsome womanizer "Rock Hudson" with their party line issues in "Pillow Talk"

Country girl "Tammy" played by Debbie Reynolds and her crush "Peter" played by Leslie Nielsen in
"Tammy and the Bachelor"

My favorite Christmas movie! "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye, and Vera-Ellen
