 And the theme is …


MOVIES!


That’s quite broad, isn’t it?


I was at Becca’s house for Rosh HaShanah, and I was telling Brendon all about the things we did when Jen and Becca were little girls.   Back then Disney was experiencing an animation renaissance, with films like The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast.  Each time a new Disney movie would come out, I’d run to the Disney store and buy merchandise related to the new movie — a nightgown, a doll or stuffed animal, whatever else looked cute.  Then I’d put together a “movie premiere bag” and give it to them when we’d see the movie.

A few months later the movie would become available on videotape…and our VCR would get quite the workout.


So, today’s playlist …music from the Disney renaissance.

    There is are so many choices when it comes to music from Disney, but I have to admit, Sir Elton John & Circle of Life is my favorite here. Have a blessed week.

    I love the old Disney classic movies and these are some of the great songs that I like! They remind me of when my kids were little. :)

    Sounds like your kids had a similar childhood to mine, except we were never given the junk that filled our home. My son starred as Alladdin in the AZA production. He looked just like him, too. L'Shanah Tova!

    Little Mermaid and Beauty & the Beast are favorites. My girls really loved these movies. The Lion King came out when our son was small. I always thought it was just okay because I hated that the Mufasa was killed and that made me sad. I thought it was too much for young children. Nice selection of Disney classics, though. Thanks for joining the 4M party. Have a boogietastic week, Robin!

    Good ole Disney has become a powerhouse. You know, I've only seen Beauty not the others. I need to, one day, remedy that.

    The only one of these I saw with my then young son (on VHS) was Aladdin. He must have made me watch that movie about a million times but it never grew old. I could watch it right now! The other song I found stunning was The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a movie I didn't even know existed. It's a dark story for children but those visual sequences during the theme song - so powerful.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
