A few Royal Recommendations

So with spending one last funfilled night in St. Helens, to flying home with Jaxon, to spending the weekend with all the kids, it's been a whirlwind of a weekend! A whirlwind of fun that is...and lots to discuss. But I thought for this Post I would keep it to some fun recommendations that are related to items that I participated in this past weekend! Hope you enjoy...even more I hope you'll partake!


First, I think my sisterships will be the only ones at this point who will understand this next statement, but let me introduce you all to another world of the Immortals, outside of Twilight. Yeah, I know it's hard to imagine, even for a freak like me, but it's true. And I'm pretty proud to say that I found this one all on my lonesome! His name is Mick St. John and he is the main character of the CBS show "Moonlight". Mick is a Private Investigator living in Los Angeles where he hides from the sunlight, runs around protecting his love interest Beth, a reporter of Buzzwire, and oh, is a Vampire. One of the most incredibly HOT 30-something (80-year old) Vampires ever! The series just started this year and after a slow start, 18-30 somethings like ourselves helped keep the show alive and it actually won the People's Choice Award for "Best New Drama 2007!" So now after the dreaded Writer's strike, Friday evening found me on Tiff's sofa in complete Immortal Heaven, texting the sistership every minute of the way! Every show is available to watch on CBS.com and ladies...just go for it! It is a true Guilty Pleasure! Oh, and it's been picked up for another season! Woo Hoo!




Okay, Second...For those of you looking for good ol' Family entertainment, or truly just a good wholesome movie to watch, "Nim's Island" is it! As you may recall, Tiff and I attempted to take the kids to see "Horton Hears a Hoo" only to be turned away due to it being Adult only night! So on our second attempt, despite the Internet listing Horton being listed as the movie playing, we were once again disappointed and nearly went home when we found out the theatre had switched movies. Fortunately we decided to give "Nim's Island" a try seeing it was a Family movie and we just didn't have the heart to tell our kids once again that they couldn't go into the "movie feater". I am beyond thrilled that we chose this route because this movie was fantastic. I personally don't feel the previews did this movie justice. The movie has a little bit of something for every age. It reminded me of the Romantic comedy found in "Romancing the Stone", the childlike innocence fantasy found in "A Little Princess" and the giggles and laughs of "Home Alone". And the acting crew was outstanding! So whether you're looking for a Family night activity or a Mommy & Movie date, this one will do the trick! Promise!


And last, but certainly not least, I certainly would not make recommendations without including something Twilight related! And this is a real keeper! This if for the music lovers folks. I have found this band through the TwilightMoms.com site. They are called The Mitch Hansen Band. I wasn't sure who they were all about, but now I know. They are based out of Atlanta, GA, which you all know is my home-away-from-home and their entire music base is inspired by the Twilight Saga. HELLO! Their album is now public and available for purchase either through their website (which I've posted under Twilighters Welcome!), or you can also get through iTunes. I wanted to add one of the songs to my playlist below, but it is not yet available. So you'll just have to go the links and check it out yourself! It will be worth your time and money to purchase! It is unreal! I highly recommend reading the lyrics and reasons for each of the songs! My favorites so far are "Lullaby", "The Last Thing" and "Twilight Hour"..but that's truly because I can't get past those three. It's the Obsessive Compulsiveness in me!



Here's a Glimpse of "Lullaby":



Lullaby(Edward's feelings for Bella)

Being made of stone will make you strong

But I've been alone for oh so long

Then there you were a silent mind

And beauty that I thought I'd never find

Something Strange is happening

And I don't know what to do

I haven't felt my heart beat in over 90 years

I love the way you look at me

When you're thinking no one else can see

I feel like someone different when you're near

So sleep now and hold me tight

Everything will be alright Just lay down and rest your weary eyes

Calm down, you're safe with me

I love you more than you can see

You need your rest and so I wrote you this ....Lullaby

Could someone who has a soul

Have such a hard time staying in control

Eternity can wait a while

I'll miss the way you blush when you smile
