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

Giveaway: Win a copy of Banton of Paramount: Haute Couture in Hollywood's Golden Age in the Glitz and Glam Giveaway Hop!

Welcome to the Glitz and Glam Giveaway Hop

hosted by Mama the Fox and Mom Does Reviews

Nobody does glitz and glam like Hollywood, both on and off screen. All those amazing looks on screen are put together by costume designers. One of the most well-known costume designers of the early days, who is probably not as well known today, is Travis Banton. Banton worked with numerous iconic movie stars, including Claudette Colbert, Mae West, and Marlene Dietrich, on films like Cleopatra, I'm No Angel, and Shanghai Express. Now Banton's life and career are captured in the fascinating new book Banton of Paramount: Haute Couture in Hollywood's Golden Age by Howard Gutner. This book not only details his experiences working with these actresses and the outfits he created for them, but also offers numerous pictures of his creations.
