December 25th, 2009 — Films

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of “The Young Victoria,” as it came out in London over year ago…. and boy was it worth the wait! I have to say this film has been my favorite film of the year! It is the most romantic movie, Emily Blunt is flawless in her performance and Rupert Friend was a dream to stare at for 2 hours. It was so sweet in fact that I teared up through out the entire film. Definitely put this on your list of must see films over Christmas! You’ll LOVE it!
December 24th, 2009 — Christmas, Gifts

For those of you who find gift certificates simple and easy. Instead of giving a gift certificate to a restaurant, Be creative with the theme and write it out on a plain white or festive plate. (like shown above for a restaurant in Paris) Don’t forget to include the actual certificate. Happy Gift Giving Wives! – THE WIFE
