Star Wars and Harry Potter
Before I write another word, Star Wars has always been and will always be my very favorite movies of all time. I know every line. And every time I watch any one of them my heart is immediately lightened. It’s nostalgia and joy and all manner of good things wrapped in a bow. Sort of…

Day 17: Pippi Longstocking Today’s inspiration is the strongest little girl who ever could lift a horse. Pippi Longstocking. This one is tricky. And really has no real world application. But if you happen to be at the beach with your family and care not about impressing people then having pigtails that stick straight out…

Day 3: Cindy Loo Who from Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas So I was a little ambitious when I chose Cindy Loo Who for day 3 of this series. In all honesty my first run through of this style involved a red Solo cup and an awful lot of hairspray. But at the…
