40 BEFORE 40: WATCHING THE ENTIRE DISNEY ANIMATED CATALOG – THE SECOND SIX MOVIES

2 Comments

For those of you who may not know, I recently came up with a list of 40 things I want to do before I’m 40 years old, which you can read here. I just turned 32 so that’s 8 years to accomplish these things and I think I can do it. One of those things is watching the entire Disney animated catalog from beginning to end, which is a serious undertaking. It has been made SOOOO much easier since the beginning of Disney+ – at least I have access to them now! I’m planning on writing little short reviews in chunks, five to six movies at a time, so hold on tight, let’s do this!

If you’d like to read the reviews for the first six movies, you can do so here.

For the month of February, I was recommended this book by Christy at BookCrushin’. Thank you for the recommendation. Let’s get to that review.

Twilight Day Trip: Visiting Forks, La Push and Port Angeles!

4 Comments

When we initially booked our trip to Seattle, I admit that my mind did think of visiting Forks. I’ve been on a Twilight nostalgia kick lately, especially with reading the ARC of Tracy Wolff’s new novel, Crave, which comes out in April and gave me super Twilight vibes. However, when I saw how far Forks is from Seattle, I thought, okay well maybe not. Then a friend of mine told me how she and her husband rented a car for the day when they were in Seattle. They said it was a doable day trip.

I. Was. In!

All right guys – I didn’t catch up in the slightest in my goals when it came to February but I think I have a legitimate excuse – February is the shortest month! Its also my birthday month so I spent most of the month being super busy and doing a lot of awesome things for my birthday. I even traveled out of state for the first time in a long time, going to Seattle and going to Forks and having an all around awesome time. But alas, I did do SOME things here in February so let’s recap it haha.
