Welcome to Litsy!

My Henry (8) and I are watching Beauty and the Beast for the first time (first time for him, probably 147th time for me). The scene comes on where Gaston tells Belle that it's not right for a woman to read. Henry looks at me and says "don't believe him. He's lying." ?

Why isn‘t this a thing 🤨💁🏼‍♀️📖

This book was so beautiful. I legit cried. 😭

I'm finally going to see this today escorted by my boys. I pulled the "Today is Mom's birthday" card so they agreed without complaint. ??

The movie was AMAZING! Haven wore her Belle gown & twirled during the ballroom scene. Best part of being a parent? Feeling her joy. It gives me joy. It's cheesy, I know.

"Tale as old as time..."

My daughter is so excited for the new movie! We've been reading variations of the story since the beginning of the year. I put together this composite for her to hang in her room ?

Not super book related, but here's my snow day view: brand new comforter, Alice planner and some work editing! ❄️🌬🌨☃️

Meet Belle, my new office mate. #favoriteDisneycharacter

Accurate.

Photo is cropped crazy by Litsy but my daughter insisted on a photo as her favorite character Belle. She loves the book so I surprised her by checking the movie out from the library (it has been watched 4 times since yesterday!) and we have a countdown for the new movie in theaters :)

Gorgeous artwork and I think the story rings a little more true to the Grimm original. The ending was a little hocky, but I've always found B&B to have a sorta rude ending.. don't judge someone by how they look and if you fall in love with them, you're rewarded by them now not looking like a beast? Like, what was the point then?
