A long weekend, a snowstorm, and bone-chilling temps. Sounds like the perfect storm for Netflix binging, doesn’t it? We watched 3 things this weekend that are worth checking out.

What to watch next
ONE:
The KonMari method seems to be everywhere, and there’s a show on Netflix that will a) inspire you to clean out your closet and b) make you realize that you don’t have as much stuff as some people. (The lady who had like 300 Nutcrackers for Christmas decorations?? Come on…)
I used the folding technique on E’s drawers, and I was blown away. Here I was with 10 onesies in my cart because I thought she didn’t have any that fit her. See the left side of the divider? All onesies that fit her.

(I used these drawer dividers for E’s drawers and just ordered more to finish her dresser.)
TWO:
A Star Is Born was on my list, but I had heard that it was really sad so I shoved it to the bottom.
It was SO good, but it definitely had a sad ending. I was super impressed with Lady Gaga’s acting and Bradley Cooper’s singing. Both of them are so talented! (Bradley Cooper also directed the movie.)
THREE:
SING, which is a kids’ movie but 100% kept me entertained, too! I put this on because E was bouncing all over the place and I wanted to see if it would get her to calm down a little.
Well, it did… but for like a hot minute. Then she was back to bouncing around. (My daughter seriously never sits down. Is anyone else’s toddler like that? If she’s not asleep for the night or napping, she’s just going.)
BUT this movie was super cute! It’s something you can watch with your kids (or nieces/nephews) and also something you could totally just turn on for yourself.
Have you watched anything recently that was worth sharing?
I am watching the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (second season). I am only allowing myself to watch it while walking on the treadmill since I am participating in the 365 Mile Challenge this year.
KonMari is definitely on my to watch list.
Besides that, what I am enjoying this year is watching my crochet projects grow. Working on my creativity was one of my intentions this year. 🙂
I’ve heard that show is really good – it’s next on my list! One of my good friends suggested it a while ago and it’s the next thing I’m going to get into when I am ready to binge watch. And the treadmill is a great place to watch your show! I used to do that when we had a treadmill at home… perfect way to be productive!

On an unrelated subject, I purchased the LL Bean vest on your men’s gift guide for my husband and the pullover version of the sweater fleece jacket for my son. Both were big hits and my 24 year old son actually asked for another color (for something his MOTHER picked out?!?!?). Thank you so much. I always look forward to your gift recommendations.
Jonel, I am SO glad to hear that he liked it! I thought of you when I was putting that together and had your son in mind. My husband bought that sweater fleece last year and I loved it and got myself one, and then bought him the vest version, too. He wears both all the time. That’s awesome that he asked for another color!!

A Star Is Born was not good but did make for some funny scenes where you had to guess what Cooper was saying. It just had too much go right at once that it felt rushed. and campy.
