It was one of our favorite family movies. 

I can still hear Ethan. He was so little the first time we watched it and he burst out laughing when Winn-Dixie met up with the police officer! 

The soundtrack became a favorite as well. Songs like Sunflower are wonderful for the classroom!

A rehearsal for The Greatest Showman

showed up on TikTok and it captured me.

Watching them sing and connect gives me goosebumps!

something I watched | The Biggest Little Farm



Choosing something for everyone to watch can be a challenge. I ended up with the remote as they seem to think I'm the hardest to please (insert embarrassed face emoji). I flipped through the choices on Netflix and picked this documentary, because I was tired of looking and liked the title. We found an unexpected treasure! It is a heart-lifting, and sometimes heart-wrenching, story about farming and life. I can't tell enough people about it!

I'm glad I saw this movie,
 but I don't know if I could watch it again.
It pulled on my heart over and over -
for people and for dogs.

I cried through most of the documentary.

His passion for God and for people,
and the reminder of how much God loves us,
moved me to tears.

Slice of Life | Christmas Movie



On Christmas Day, we watched a movie after turkey, visits and naps. Dad had been wanting us to watch "It Happened on Fifth Avenue" with him and it was the perfect time.

During the winters, Michael J. O'Connor, the second richest man in the world, vacates his 5th Avenue mansion to live somewhere warmer. Without him knowing, Aloysius T. McKeever, a homeless man, and his dog move into his mansion. This particular winter, others join McKeever, including O'Connor's runaway heiress, Trudy and eventually Michael J. O'Connor himself. No one is aware that the millionaire is among them. It is a sweet story, and McKeever is a delightful character.

As the end of the movie, these meaningful words are spoken as O'Connor the millionaire watches McKeever the homeless man walk away:
Michael O'Connor: You know, Mary. 
Mary O'Connor: Yes, Mike? 
Michael O'Connor: There are richer men than I.
