This afternoon, as I was running some errands after work, I realized that they have begun to decorate the shopping strip in our neighborhood with holiday decor. I know some people joke about holiday lights being put up the day after Halloween by some overzealous merry makers but, the truth is that seeing the decorations displayed really does put one into the holiday spirit! It's that time of the year when all we can think about are those cozy nights in and pumpkin spice lattes! That means Countdown to Christmas and Miracles of Christmas are back on Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries to welcome the exciting 2023 holiday season! One of my favorite Christmas memories was the year that I redecorated our living room and invited the entire family to spend Christmas Eve with us. I remember feeling excited to show off my decorating skills as I had single-handedly painted the whole room and picked out all the decor and furniture. Also, I was very … [Read more...]

When you have been married for over twenty years, your definition of romance evolves over time and based on your experiences as a couple. This can definitely be said of how I perceive romance or romantic gestures from my husband over the years. As a younger couple, my expectations for romance were pretty traditional such as receiving flowers and cards on Valentine's Day or getting cute messages on my pager. I'm pretty sure I'm dating myself by admitting that I still had a pager when we began dating in the late nineties. LOL! Now that I am older and wiser, I understand that romance comes in many forms but, specifically, in some of the most unexpected ways. These days, romance sounds like receiving a phone call after work just to make sure that I had a good day, bringing home my favorite foods, or spending time together watching movies. You definitely come to be more appreciative of the little things once you've been together for a long time. After all, flowers are nice but … [Read more...]

Candyman – In Theaters Now! #CandymanMovie
I've always been a huge fan of the horror/thriller movie genre and there are some cult classics which have been on my "favorites" list for years. The original Candyman film has always been on that list so I was thrilled to find out that Jordan Peele unleashed a fresh take on the blood-chilling urban legend. The film focuses on the residents of the housing projects of Chicago's Cabrini-Green neighborhood and how they were terrorized by a word-of-mouth ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, easily summoned by those daring to repeat his name five times in a mirror. In present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy and his partner, gallery director Brianna Cartwright unknowingly open a door to a complex past that unleashes a terrifying wave of violence. (from left) Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris) and Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) in Candyman, directed by Nia DaCosta. My eighteen-year old … [Read more...]
