My Father the Hero

Remember that movie? It was one of those flicks that my sister and I would would rent weekend after weekend for Friday night slumber parties with our friends. Why we didn't just buy it, I'll never know!

If you're having a preteen girl slumber party this father's day weekend, I highly recommend this movie! It was one of Katherine Heigl's first, and no matter how many times I've seen it, she and Gerard Depardieu always manage to give me a giggle and leave me with a little tear at the end!

This father's day, my dad will be in Connecticut, celebrating my cousin's graduation. I'll be sad not to see him on his special day, but yesterday I was able to give him a little going away/father's day gift for the trip: Katie Couric's book, The Best Advice I Ever Got. I really love that book, especially Suze Orman's anecdote! It's a great read for a flight and perfect gift for the person who has always given me the best advice!

If I weren't such a procrastinator, I would have loved to get him some of the goodies I saw pop up on Etsy! Here are some of my faves!
