My Granny went on a trip to England back in 1972 and brought back this gem of a dress. Actually, one for me and one for my sister so it’s a little fuzzy which one of us wore this exact one. The important thing here is that my mom hung on to it and here is my wee daughter wearing it in 2008! She wore it last year as a proper dress and now rocks it as a smocky top. Can we talk about the excellent pink paisley pattern? I cannot stress enough how happy I am when I put this top, my little yellow nightgown or any of my other childhood garments on my daughter. (The boys missed out) Heirlooms are one thing but to still have it worn is even cooler. So save whatever you love seeing your kids in and when you pass them on make sure you stress that they should be worn. They could end up on your grandchild someday looking completely awesome instead of stored in a box with moth balls.

I’m not normally the type who seeks advice from television personalities but Dr. Steve Brule and his “Brule’s Rules” is the exception. Whether he’s teaching you how to stay the heck out of a fight as part of his “Last Resort Fighting” series or providing helpful hints to combat smelly body parts, his advice is always sound. You’ll find Dr. Brule dishing out his helpful hints with the only married news team in the tri-county area, Jan and Wayne Skylar.
In this clip Steve takes us with him to wine country
for some advice on picking just the right wine.

So there you go people, welcome to 1996 Fooey!
Mr. Mom
I’m guessing a lot of you have seen this classic film starring Michael Keaton and Teri Garr but for those of you who have not, time to hit that NetFlix queue or your local video store.
What’s not to love? You’ve got Michael Keaton playing a dad who takes his turn at home with the kids while his wife, Teri Garr, goes back to work. WHAT? I know, I know, seems like a dated concept now but give ‘em a break, this was 1983. Did I mention this movie was written by ubiquitous 80’s film guy John Hughes? Throw in Martin Mull as Keaton’s male rival and some wonderful performances from two great child actors and you have a movie you can watch over and over with the family.
There used to be a great clip on YouTube in which Keaton defends his choice to grow a beard but it has been taken down. Here’s a link to the trailer but there is a good chance it will be taken down soon as well.
