Day 135 - "Girl's Night"
Thursday, May 15, 2008


If there's one gadget (besides my computer) that I'd hate to do without, it's our DVR. About once a month, I go through the on-screen guide and pick out all of the pertinent educational shows that I want Rachael to watch. I can record them in the middle of the night and we can watch them at our convenience. Technology is a wonderful thing! It's helped out another way, too...for our mother/daughter bonding! A few months ago, my friend, Darla, had recommended the Janette Oke movies (Love Comes Softly, etc.) on the Hallmark channel. When I saw they were running a marathon, I recorded all six of them. Rachael & I have spent hours vegging out in front of the tv watching them. We initiated a "Girl's Night" where we get up late at night after everyone else has gone to bed. We brew some hot mint tea and snuggle up on the couch to watch "chick flicks." These movies have such a positive message to them. Hopefully we can find similar movies to watch, because we've had a blast! Any suggestions?
