8 June 2018 - I Need a Vacation

"Wish You Were Here"

"A new kind of vacation has become popular in recent years. Two families exchange homes for the vacation period - and both benefit."

This is the premise of one of my favorite movies The Holiday


In this 2006 movie, our main characters go onto a website called HomeExchange.com.
They decide they want away from their tormented lives on Christmas so they vacation in each others homes for the Christmas Holiday.

It's an adorable movie that ends all cuddly and romantically.

Our Almanac suggests that if you wish to try this out you should join the Vacation Exchange Club!

In the 1970's, this was a directory of people who were all part of this home exchange club.
It featured homes around the world so you could swap homes with people from different backgrounds.
This is also a chance for you to visit far off places and check off some countries from your bucket list.

Home Exchange is still operating today.
You do have to pay to join, just like in the 70's, to become a member.

...

You know what!?

I would totally do this!

Mi casa es su casa!

What if....

Hear me out.

They did another movie like this and it was Bruce Wayne who exchanged homes with another person.
He gets tired of being Batman and wants to go on a vacation.

So he does the home exchange.

BUT 

The person who is vacationing in Wayne Manor accidentally finds the Bat Cave.
Before they can freak out that they are in Batman's house, the Bat Signal goes off.

What happens when Gotham needs a hero but that hero is on vacation?

Our protagonist steps up to the call of duty.
Puts on the Batsuit, drives the Batmobile, and is fighting crime.

The title of the film is...


BE THE BATMAN

This is me people.
This is where my brain goes at the end of the day.

1 January 2018 - Happy New Year!!

A couple years ago I started collecting interesting antique books. I love seeing a peek into the time period the book was written. Until the end of 2017 I was a stay at home mom. We moved across the country and a new chapter began for our family. This morning for the beginning of the new year I pick up my "Illustrated Almanac for Homemakers" book.  This book was written in 1974.  Just check out those bellbottoms.  Originally sold for $9.95. I bought at Half Price Books for $7.00 I thought this book would be fun to flip through. Just see what homemakers were doing in the 1970's verses what I was doing or not doing. So for 2018 I thought it would be fun to see what I can accomplish this 365 days from this almanac even though I am no longer a full time homemaker.  Lets begin in January!  Each month has a super cute illustration featuring our homemaker heroine!  It's the first day of the first year so let's peek at today's tas...

19 March 2018 - Why Woodn't You

Try Putting Up Wallboard? Why Not? "In the spring one tends to think about the sprucing up the home." In the 70's wood paneling was all the rage. Wallboard or as it commonly called today - Decorative Paneling. There are some seriously cute panelings out there today. Typically, when you think of wall paneling, you think of wooden paneling. I have some in my living room and it is very dated. It's so dark that is great for movie nights but mostly it just feels like a room that is sucking the light from your house. I found an article from Houzz that has some modern looks for us in the year 2018. So if you decide to go the way of decorative paneling, please steer clear of the basic stuff, and go for a nice chic modern look!
