I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Tips for Tuesday - Books: WIth Love From Wish & Co. & Movies: Killian & The Comeback Kids

We may have been given complimentary copies and/or access for review purposes to any products, and/or visual or audio media mentioned below. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.

Books: Wish & Co. 


Today we are recommending Wish & Co. by Minnie Darke. When professional gift buyer. Marnie accidentally mixes up a gift for one of her client's girlfriends and his wife, her gift-buying business almost goes up in smoke along with her desire to purchase the historic storefront that her grandfather once owned. She makes a deal to help her client win back his wife, but when she meets and falls for his son who doesn't know that she's working with his father things get complicated. This is an irresistibly charming story about love, family, and forgiveness. The characters are multifaceted, and the story is charming. Overall, it's just a lovely book.

Movies: Killian & The Comeback Kids



Today we are recommending Killian & The Comeback Kids. After Killian's bandmate abandons him for a corporate music job, he learns that the yearly music festival in his hometown is looking for a local band,. He and an old schoolmate decide to put together a band to appear at the festival. At first, it seems like this movie is just going to be another tired retread of a story that's been told a million times before. However, happily, that turns out not to be the case. It is refreshingly original and unpredictable. Just when you think things are going to go one way, they go another.  The story is enjoyable, the characters are likable, and the music is nice. All in all, it's just a very sweet story.

Killian & The Comeback Kids is available for purchase or rental on digital platforms.

And that's our view. Tune in tomorrow for Tips for Tuesday.
