I totally agree! She does always have the best pics. Makes me try to up my game.
DeleteI'm with you on movie theater popcorn -- I hate all the butter! But yes to those new caramel M&Ms! Those are going to get me in trouble!! Happy Monday, Andrea!

Love the throwback of the boys! I need to try caramel M&M's!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of reading thrillers as well and give me brunch all day long :) xo,Biana-BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteI can't do 3-D either, haha! This was a really fun Q&A - can't wait for next month!
ReplyDeleteI love the loungers too. I'm off to check out your favorite book. Have a great week, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot to do this.... booooo.... and I love that pic of you for Wicked. You look like a celebrity!
ReplyDeleteI love these and all of these pics are the best! We love game night too and Little Dude is really loving learning new games right now. Uno, yatzee and candy land are big favorites here right now!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I think popcorn at the movies smells like a locker room!!! Mini golf is only fun if my kids aren't playing and alcohol is involved (same goes for bowling LOL!) XOXO
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on so many of these!! Totally all about fiction books and musicals!! Definitely need to check out all of these books--especially The Woman in the Window!
ReplyDeleteRosy Outlook
I wrote down all the books you have listed! I have been getting back to reading and always welcome suggestions!
ReplyDeleteMaureen | www.littlemisscasual.com
We can sit next to each other and share popcorn!! I think working concession stands and seeing how popcorn is really made in those machines made me think twice. haha
ReplyDeleteI read two out of three of your books. I'm off to order the third. Great questions, Andrea. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteOoh I'll have to check out some of these book picks! I feel the same way about 3D movies, no thank you! Love the throwback of your boys! I want that brunch t-shirt! I loved Parenthood too. It was too hard to pick!!! I want to play Smashball on the beach. Looks like fun. Have a lovely Monday!
ReplyDeleteGreat answers. Love the cute throwback picture! Parenthood is a great series!!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! Parenthood is THE best and gotta love Caramel M&Ms. Also I love your meal preferences- brunch and ice cream anytime is always a great choice. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove these posts. Oh man I love movie theater popcorn with butter!! It's like my favorite. Oh I do love me some junior mints!! Brunch is always a good choice. Love that picture of you in NYC!! I haven't seen wicked but I just saw Hamilton loved it! Next up is Moulin Rouge!! Cannot wait!!
ReplyDeletePHANTOM!!!!! Oklahoma!!!! SINGING IN THE RAIN!!!
ReplyDeleteNo movie theater butter popcorn for you???? Makes me sad. Haha. Truthfully, I like mine best with lime squeezed over it and some salt. A lot healthier. Love the throw back pictures! I have never played...or heard of...Smashball. Sounds fun! Hope you have a fabulous week!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to read this Andrea!!
ReplyDeleteHey, Lana gave me that linky party site that she said you swear by. I just started using it for this week, and I was wondering if you had time to email me for a couple of questions?? (jodie@jtouchofstyle.com).
Thanks so much Andrea!!!
XOXO
Girl! I saw Wicked in NY too and it was FABULOUS!! I loved your post, but we gotta do something about you not liking popcorn!
ReplyDeleteI had ice cream on Friday and again on Saturday and it was so delicious!! :-) I grew up going on NY and Cats and Phantom are my two favorites. Actually, Phantom was the last play that I saw before we moved to Chicago. Anyways!! Super fun post and love all of these photos!! Hope that you had a glorious weekend too!! :-)
ReplyDeleteParenthood is by far my FAVORITE TV series too...along with Grey's Anatomy. We are so alike...I love brunch and ice cream and also a mix of at home movies and going out!
ReplyDeleteParenthood is my second favorite TV series ever... second to FRIENDS! It's a very close second, though... For a while there I thought it might surpass Friends, but I just couldn't let that happen. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever watched Parenthood but I think I need to! And Junior Mints all the way! Sometimes I even pick up a box of them when I am out running errands. They are so good!
ReplyDeleteSo fun!! I'm right there with you on lots of these!! brunch is amazing, and I love going to the movies even more now with the loungers!
ReplyDeleteParenthood shattered me (and it continues to break me when I rewatch it!) My all-time favorite show has to be Bones though - hands down! And a big YES to brunch! All day, every day!
ReplyDeleteOh, my daughter loved Parenthood as well. Can't believe you are not a movie popcorn lover. Might have to check out your favorite book as well. And, I've never heard of Smashball. Love all the photos!
ReplyDeleteYES to brunch! Breakfast food + drinks = the best! And the type of movie theater definitely makes or breaks the movie experience. I don't know if I can ever go to another one with the small, normal seats again.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are a great tie-in to these questions! ...and brunch sounds really good about now :)
ReplyDeletehaha made up books are much better! Game nights are so fun and I agree, brunch is the best!! I've never seen a 3D movie before but I heard they aren't the most comfortable things to watch. Sierra~Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteFun! I love movie snacks of all kinds but rarely go. Ha! Game nights are always fun.

Andrea, sorry to use your comments for this but I need your mailing address to send something your way and I guess I don't have your email address. :o(( Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThose recliner seats are just the best! It makes the movies fun again! Thanks for such a fun link up!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with you on loving musicals! I just can't get enough! And I don't think that any show has effected me as much as Parenthood did! I swear I cried every single episode, but it was so good!
ReplyDeleteMusicals all the time as well!!! I saw Sound of Music with Marie Osmond as Maria - it was the most amazing show!
ReplyDeleteYou look so gorgeous all dolled up for Wicked! I love the fancy movie theater, but also love the old school one here too. 3D makes my eyes hurt as well!
ReplyDeleteI am 100% with you on musicals! You looked great all dressed up for Wicked!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to some at home movie days with the kiddos soon once they're off school! We love to go to Walgreens and get some snacks/drinks and then I always make homemade popcorn on the stovetop! It's so fun and a relaxing day! I LOVE musicals, too! We just saw Hamilton and now Phantom is here and I'm trying to talk myself into shelling out money to see another musical, they fell within a month of each other! We saw Phantom in NYC and LOVED it. I put on the Sound of Music all the time and I'm so glad my kids love it, too!! Sorry I didn't get a chance to join y'all today... I was planning on it, but my daughter had a competition this weekend and it was crazy busy. So tired!

I'm currently on season 5 of Parenthood and I just LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteA fun post to read, my sweetness. And at the risk of sounding like a fox dressed in grandma's clothes, how pretty you are, my dear! Oh those smoky eyes in the Wicked shot!
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing week, hugs x.
YES! Ice Cream totally counts as a meal! lol Thrillers and Parenthood are also too of my favorites too! :)
ReplyDeleteYou and I have a lot of stuff in common! I have not seen Parenthood, but it is on my list!

Look at you how stunning that in first photo! I loved reading about your entertainment favorites and ideas of fun! I'm with you on many of these especially brunch and fiction/thriller books! I recently read The Liar but need the other two to my wish list! xo Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
ReplyDeletethrillers creep me out!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read that book - I might have to look it up.
I also haven't seen even an episode of Parenthood... I WISH it was on Netflix.
I haven't tried the Caramel M&M's, but now, I need to :)
ReplyDeleteWell Jr. Mints seem to be universally loved. (and you know I love the new caramel M&M's...YUM!!!) Always love reading your answers sweet friend! XO
ReplyDeleteYes to all things Roseanne! :) Love reading these lists each month, they are so much fun! And I'm with ya on the ice-cream at anytime...I can eat it for breakfast easily! Not weird at all, right? Happy Monday, gorgeous..have the best week!

Yay Brunch!! :) I had never heard of Smashball before. I just googled it and it looks fun! Something new to try this summer. :)
ReplyDeleteAw man, we need to go on a musicals date!
ReplyDeleteYes, nothing like the sitcoms from the 70's and 80's!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, Andrea! I love the sitcoms from the 80s too - they were the best. Remember ALF and Family Ties? LOVED them!!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week, gorgeous!

I LOVE the new caramel M&Ms. Parenthood really was such a good show. I didn't watch it when it was actually on but I binge watched it on Netflix a little while ago. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteI love ice cream anytime as well!! Especially Dole Whip. Parenthood is one of my favorites too. I love the Bravermans!!!
ReplyDeleteI will share a popcorn with you, I like only salt and like to eat most of the bucket, so with you eating a few handfuls, makes me feel like I "shared". :)
ReplyDeleteI’ve been trying to find Liar at the library since you first mentioned it and they don’t have it??? It’s on my amazon wish list now. It will show up on my prime post soon I think!
ReplyDeleteI love these link-ups every month and YES to brunch. I love old sitcoms too- they really can't be beat! Hope your week is going great beautiful, xo!
ReplyDeleteHow could I forget ice cream as a meal to go out for! I want to change my answer because during spring/summer I go out almost every night lol. I'm so glad you all like going to the theater for movies too!
ReplyDeleteAmanda @ Cupcake N Dreams
I'm 100% with you on ice cream--I'll go out for that anytime! But I'm also a big brunch/breakfast fan. And Yahtzee!! What a fun game, I need to play that one more.
ReplyDeleteMovie theater popcorn is the absolute best. Love all of your pictures and Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story. I hope you will join us again next week.
ReplyDeleteAndrea you look AMAZING on your pic - and it is super cool that you are holding a cocktail for the 'entertainment' segment - most of the activities in the questions would be so much better accompanied by a cocktail! Right with you on the mixed genre film - I added this to mine too. ues to Brunch, yes to Monopoly, yes to mini golf! BTW I've just realised who you look like - a young Britney Spears, you lucky thing!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd originally planned to join in on this link up fun, but some things around here kept me from my computer. lol. I LOVED reading your answers this morning! Each of these pics are too cute, I'm so with you in loving tv from "back in the day", thrillers with twists are my favorite too, and yes to musicals and Sound of Music! While traveling through Europe the summer after graduation I was able to visit several sites where they filmed the movie in Austria! So fun! It was also fun to see more things we have in common, darling friend! xo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting about those three books. I recently got a new library card and have been wondering which books to get. Right now I'm reading The Roanoke Girls. If you haven't read it yet, I definitely recommend. Seems a lot like the ones you posted about.
ReplyDeleteit is so fun!
