Five on Friday - May 11, 2018

Happy Mother's Day weekend!  I'm headed to Kansas City this morning for a special celebration.   Haley, my best friend's daughter, is graduating with her Master's degree today and we just couldn't be more proud of her.

Before I head out, here's my five for today ~

1. Little Women
PBS will be presenting the first episode of Little Women on Sunday night. I'm so excited to see Masterpiece's adaptation of this classic! Here's PBS's summary of the first episode:
"Christmas, 1861. The March sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy – prepare for a Christmas without presents or their father, a Union army chaplain who is away at war.

Learning to appreciate the smaller things in life, the sisters strike up a friendship with their charming new neighbor Laurie, and his tutor John Brooke.

As autumn of 1862 sets in, the family receives the terrible news: Mr March has been taken ill in an army hospital in Washington D.C. The girls anxiously await news of their father’s fate, as their mother Marmee, accompanied by John, rushes to his side."

2.  Villa Alena Moscato & Peach
A few weeks ago, a friend brought over a bottle of Villa Alena Moscato & Peach wine.  Oh.My.Goodness!  It is the perfect wine for the summer!  Light and refreshing without being overly sweet.  You can find it at Trader Joe's.  Eric and I couldn't get to the store fast enough to load up.  Have you tried it?  I'm thinking it will be a great wine for sangria.

3  Color Street Nails
My daughter-in-law, Kayla, introduced me to Color Street nails and they are just way too cool not to mention on the blog.  These nail polish strips are super easy to apply and lasts longer than normal nail polish.  And they cost less than a manicure!  You can get them in solids, patterns, glitter -- you name it!  Check out all the options by clicking HERE.

4.  Life of the Party
The new Melissa McCathy movie, Life of the Party, opens today.  From the previews we've seen, it looks pretty cute.  Melissa's movies can be hit or miss, but I think we'll give this one a try.  Here's what Fandango says about it, "When her husband suddenly dumps her, longtime dedicated housewife Deanna (McCarthy) turns regret into re-set by going back to college…landing in the same class and school as her daughter, who’s not entirely sold on the idea. Plunging headlong into the campus experience, the increasingly outspoken Deanna—now Dee Rock—embraces freedom, fun and frat boys on her own terms, finding her true self in a senior year no one ever expected."



5.  What every mom knows...

Hope your weekend is wonderful!  Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there.  If you haven't had a chance to enter the Mother's Day Giveaway (HERE), you better hop to it.  The giveaway ends today!
