Golf is a popular sport for adults and kids in our area of Tennessee, with several high school teams, so it was wonderful to have a movie where teen golfers are the focus. If you have a golfer in your family, especially a teen, who loves golfing, why not add this film to your weekend plans?

Happy Friday, dear readers. If you are among the many who sent their kids back to school in the heat of August, I’m thinking of you and hoping your school year is off to a smooth start. Our school days are behind us now as empty nesters, but today’s topic brought back so many fond memories of making food and drink content with my girls. I hope you enjoy my latest Friday Faves.
If you like rural lifestyles, horses, and gritty women you want to root for, then you’ll want to see East of Wall. This Sundance award-winning film is opening in theaters everywhere on Friday, August 15th. I was able to watch a screener of the film and will share some of my no-spoiler thoughts today.
It’s Friday, in the middle of July, so I don’t think it’s a stretch to assume you have some type of social gathering planned for this weekend. If you have non-drinkers in your social circle, too, I think you’ll be happy to read more about a delicious drink dupe from Better Than Booze and pick some up for the weekend.
While I love reading other Friday Faves weekly posts, I can’t seem to get my posts done with any regularity. So, instead of giving up on this writing theme completely, I’m going to do a Friday Faves for July, which showcases fun and sensible products that arrived too late for me to add them to June’s Gift Ideas For Dads. I’m living a true summertime WAHM lifestyle, folks!
July finds me with an enviable book stack, and with more on the way, I decided it would be fun to do a book roundup post sharing six fun and inspiring books I think are perfect for summer reading.
We’ve made it to July and are in full summer mode, and I, for one, am pretty happy about it. Don’t get me wrong, I could do with fewer hot and humid days, but summer is meant for slowing down and laughing as often as possible. If you’ve never experienced the laugh-out-loud hilarity of The Drew Carey Show, stick around to read about TV’s favorite Everyman.
If you’ve read my blog for a while, you know I love watching and discussing films, especially those with dramatic, sci-fi-filled stories like Dune. Imagine my delight when I was asked if I’d like to review Dune Prophecy- The Complete first season on 4K Ultra HD? I know for some, I’m a little late to this series, but I’m catching up now with Dune Prophecy, my first binge-worthy series of the summer.
Most Dads are known for their no-nonsense, practical approach to gifts. They like gifts to have a use, not just take up space. I enjoy sharing gift ideas that you can get inspiration from, or make a purchase immediately to help free up your time. Here are six practical gift ideas for all the Dads on your list.
I couldn’t let the last Friday of the month go by without hosting another giveaway, so I waited to share my thoughts on the recently published book Plants with Superpowers by David Domoney. If you’d like to learn about seventy-five remarkable plants for your garden and home, read on.
Are you living GF? Or, do you have a loved one or friend who follows a gluten-free diet? If so, you may already know that May is National Celiac Awareness Month. I was recently asked if I’d like to help raise awareness and show support for those living with celiac disease and gluten intolerance by sharing a brand that offers certified gluten-free products.
As I was adding this book review to my editorial planner, I thought, "It’s not very often there’s a weekday in the name of a book title, so I should honor that by posting on that day!" Happy Wednesday, dear readers, I’m excited to share a refreshing Champagne Bowler recipe from Wednesday Night Wine-Down by Jennifer Newens with you today.
As a freelance Blogger and Content Creator, at this time of year, my mind is full of financial jargon because I prep my tax paperwork to bring to our accountant. While taxes and tax season can be stressful, I was happy to recently learn that April is National Financial Literacy Month. I’ve got three free resources to share today that will help us make solid financial decisions that our future selves will thank us for.
Earlier this week, I found myself covering my plants due to a freeze warning in our area. I knew it was coming because I’d been reading the 2025 edition of The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which states our last freeze date is April 15, 2025. If you’re ready to welcome spring gardening, read about The Old Farmer’s Almanac's three handy gardening books.
Talking about sick children with cancer isn’t a topic I normally cover here on my blog, but watching and reviewing films is. Today, those two topics collide as I share my no-spoiler review of Audrey’s Children, a biopic film that takes on children’s cancer in 1969. Since this is a no-spoiler review, I won’t go into much detail about the children, but please stop reading here if this topic is upsetting.

As we get ready to welcome spring and the fun celebrations of the season, I’m reminded again of how often cocktails and mocktails are a part of these annual gatherings. I was delighted to have the opportunity to review a new book, Cocktails Southern Style by Belinda Smith-Sullivan, and share her Southern Mule Recipe with you today.
Much of the country is still dealing with the last winter storm that had us using terms like “polar vortex” and “record-breaking snowfall”, but for those of us who garden, we’re counting down the days until spring arrives! If you dream of growing flowers by the armful like me, today’s book review for The Cut Flower Handbook by Lisa Mason Ziegler is for you.
Happy Monday readers. I’m excited to be able to combine two things I love to share with you in one post today- a new movie for you to add to your watch list and an awesome giveaway! How’s that for a cool way to kick off 2025?

As you know, I love holiday films, having reviewed Red One with Dwayne Johnson and A Sudden Case of Christmas with Danny DeVito last month. I will add my two cents on Dear Santa with Jack Black very soon. Today’s review is for a film that won’t give you the warm fuzzies like most of Hugh Grant’s films do (hello holiday classic Love, Actually, Happy 20th!). Prepare yourself to see Hugh Grant in a whole new light in Heretic.
Happy Friday! Since it’s been a while since I hosted a book giveaway, I thought I’d surprise you today with a chance to win a copy of Kitchen Garden Living, by Bailey Van Tassel. If you’re ready to have a beautiful, bountiful food garden, this guide to seasonal growing and eating is for you.
