We recently watched the newly released to DVD movie, The Best Of Me. We were going to have a girls night, but some of our lovely children (my own included) quickly put the kibosh on that idea. My son, apparently, had been wanting to see the movie- which I doubted, until he gave me the entire plot and told me what he thought was going to happen. The other instigator stood rapt, and we mothers relented, and it became less a girl’s movie date then a what-have-you.
We all enjoyed the movie, it is great timing for Valentine’s Day. If you haven’t seen it yet, it would be a great “date night” movie for you and yours to watch (if you can get the kids to go to bed, anyway!) My thoughts, in hindsight- don’t tell them you have any sort of plan without them. Life, of course, stops as soon as their heads hit the pillows or are on play dates etc etc.
We also got to try some cool tea- it came in this little circle, with little sugar gems. You added boiled water, steeped it, and strained it in it’s own special container. Very fancy. We tried the Teavana limited edition First Blush Tea which was specifically designed for Valentine’s Day, featuring naturally scented Jasmine green tea blended with floral orchid oolong and complemented by luscious strawberries, crisp rhubarb and effervescent undertones of bubbly rosé. It smelled like floral blueberries, if you can imagine that. It was a nice aroma.
