Top 10

Hello!

Today is a Tuesday with no school, so I’m going to make the most of it.

A few weeks ago, I shared a Top 10 Tuesday post all about my favorite nail polish colors.

Today, I’m sharing some of my favorite movies.

There’s something about this time of the year, and when I have time in the fall and winter months, I like to watch movies whenever I can.

If I see that these movies are on, I will watch them. Some of them, I make a point to watch, especially during winter break when I have some extra time on my hands.

Here are my top 10 favorite movies:

These are in no particular order until I share the top 3.

10. You’ve Got Mail – I love the fall/Christmas setting of New York…and the dial up AOL gets me every time! Hadley and I watched this last winter break, and she loved it. Just this weekend, she asked if we could watch it again.

9. A League of Their Own

Tom Hanks yelling, “There’s no crying in baseball!” Classic. Also, Alice’s bruise…ouch! The end with the former players coming back to see the hall of fame is such a touching scene.

8. An Affair to Remember

I don’t remember the first time I saw this movie, but I just love it. Romance at its best and amazing actors. This is a timeless classic.

7. Swiss Family Robinson

This Disney classic is one from my childhood. When we took the kids to Disney World in 2019, and we visited the tree house, they thought it was so cool. As soon as we got home, Hayden wanted to watch the movie and enjoyed it.

6. Top Gun

This movie is so exciting, and just one of my favorites. Of course, we saw Maverick when it was in the theater in 2022. The kids loved it too.

5. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

This musical is the best. I love the actors, the songs, and the dancing.

4. Home Alone

Holiday classic for sure! We always watch this one around Christmastime.

3. While you were sleeping

This movie is so sweet and funny. I’m a big Sandra Bullock fan, and Bill Pullman is great too. The entire cast is great. I love Saul and Elsie….and Joe Jr. are my favorites too.

2. Sleepless in Seattle

This is just such a sweet movie. I love Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.

1. The Parent Trap

My all time favorite movie is the original Parent Trap. Again, it’s a Disney classic that I remember watching as a kid. I even had a VHS of the movie, and I watched it time and time again.

Of course, I’ve seen the Lindsay Lohan version, and it’s fine, but I love the Hayley Mills version the best.

I wish I had time to watch a movie today. What are your favorite movies?

Hello and happy Tuesday.

My goodness yesterday sure did feel like a Monday. It was cold and dreary, and I was tired! It was still a good day though.

Anyway…

I always have my nails painted, so I thought this would be a fun way to kick off a new blog idea:

I’ve used the OPI brand for years and years. I remember getting my first manicure after Travis and I got engaged. All my friends were wearing the “Bubble Bath” shade, and that quickly became my “go to.” Through the years, I’ve mostly painted my own nails. Sometimes, I would get in the car, paint them really quickly, and then they’d dry while I drive. I’ve always been a multi-taker. 😉

A few years ago, I started occasionally getting a gel manicure and then about a year and a half ago, I started getting SNS manicures pretty regularly. I go every three to four weeks. I make sure they trim my nails short each time because I can’t stand to have long nails.

I love a pedicure, but I’m more practical about them and only get a few a from April – September. Polish on my toes tends to last long anyways.

Here are my top 10 nail polish colors:

My go to shades:

I love a neutral nail polish…

Bubble Bath
Funny Bunny
Sweetheart Pink
Let Me Bayou a Drink

Summer shades:

In the summer, I still keep my nails pretty neutral, but when it comes time for a pedicure, I typically choose one of these two colors:

5. Strawberry Margarita

6. Mexican Move-mint

Fall/Winter colors:

In the fall and winter, if I don’t do a neutral nail polish, I typically wear a darker color. In the fall, I choose a more light brown shade and then sometimes in the winter, I choose a darker brown. Occasionally, I will wear a shade of gray. I always have polish on my toes, and in the winter, it’s usually one of these shades.

7. Krona-logical Order

8. Lincoln Park After Dark

9. How Great is Your Dane

10. Steel Waters Run Deep

So that’s it! Those are my favorite nail polish colors. What’s your favorite shade? I was thinking a navy color might be pretty in the fall. Do you have any suggestions?
