Rom Coms are Cute

It's hard to make a good rom com these days. The jokes aren't as good, the acting isn't as good and the romance isn't as good as it all used to be. The best rom com I saw recently was Letters to Juliet starring Amanda Seyfried. It was directed by the late Gary Winick, who also directed 13 Going on 30. He will be missed dearly in the rom com world.

I just saw a trailer for a new rom com that I'm actually pretty excited about, Something Borrowed. Take a look.

Sure it's predictable and some of the jokes will be cheesy, but you know what? It will be cute, and I think that's the mission of the rom com. 

Something Borrowed opens May 6.   

Tea Parties

Tea time is a cute tradition passed on from our British ancestors that we Americans do not value nearly enough. You're sitting in class or at work in the afternoon, nearly dying of boredom or exhaustion, and you need a pick-me-up. What better than a pot of hot tea and cookies? If you don't want to make your own tea, some cities have tea rooms and cafes, like Sarabella in Tuscaloosa, Ala. (If you haven't been there, GO. GO NOW.)

If you want to get fancy, however, and make your own tea, I have some cute accessories for you.

Tea Kettles

These tea kettles are the whisteling kind you can put on the stove, not the ones that are just for looks.

Tea Sets

You'll need some cute china for your fabulous tea party.

Now all you need to complete your tea party is the guest of honor, the teacup pig.

Happy tea time!

Cooking Cute

Toy Story 3, which was completely cute, is one of my all-time favorite films. Buzz and Woody were great and all, but one classically trained porcupine (or is he a hedgehog? unsure) captured my heart.

 Mr. Pricklepants

What better way to capture the cuteness of Mr. Pricklepants than through the cutest dessert out there: cupcakes?

I found these through Disney Pixar's twitter, but the actual recipe is from Disney Family.  Check it out. Your friends will faint from cuteness when they see them.

Cute is as cute does

As I was sitting on my hot pink bedspread suffering from insomnia, I couldn't think of a focus for my blog. I like Disney, sure, but what could I do about Disney that would be better/different than what's out there? I thought about fashion, too, but that's also incredibly overdone. I didn't want to dive into the secrets of my soul either. I'm much too light hearted for that. So, I thought, what's the one word I continually use every day (other than roll and tide, obviously)?

Cute.

"Oh that's cute."  "You look so cute!"  "OH MY GOSH THAT IS TOO CUTE!"

And cute things make people happy, so that makes me happy.

This blog's mission is to offer you a dose of cuteness, no matter how ugly your day is going.
