Summer is blazing on and movie night offers a restful break from the heat of the day. My family was delighted to watch the new Pixar film, Luca, on Disney +. It’s a sweet story about friendship, courage, and acceptance… with a beautiful Italian flair to boot!

It’s such a thrill to enjoy new movies at home! Cruella exceeded our expectations. We loved the artistry… the creativity… and the music! I set a table with a mix of glam, black and white, and a splash of red. A large piece of Dalmatian-print fabric was the key element.

A classic book comes to life right at home with Black Beauty on Disney+. My daughter and I have watched this one more than once, and I know we will watch it again and again. Black Beauty is a lovely story of recovery, working through grief, and healing.
