BARBIE

These girls wanted to 

dress up to go to the Barbie movie. 

They are adorable!

It's so fun being a mom. 

We actually went to the Barbie movie with the entire family at 

another time because many of them hadn't seen it or wanted to go again.

 I noticed two things as we left the theater. The Barbie movie triggers different emotions in everyone, depending on the stage of life they are in. Some were laughing while others were crying. 

I noticed all the inappropriate stuff in the movie and felt 

a little guilty when attending it with a return missionary.

They were not IMPRESSED that I wore black.

In my defense, I was Raquel from the 

cartoon Barbie and she always wore black.

The other day, I was trying to decide

 what audiobook to check out, and this meme popped up. 

Made me laugh!

I LOVE the Libby App. 

There are numerous opinions in the media about the Barbie movie.

 I appreciated the overall message of the movie. 

In my opinion, the movie quantifies the positives and negatives of men and women equally.

It reveals instances where both sexes need to be more kind, pay better 

attention to, and be more aware of one another.

I will leave it at that.

Before the movie started, the theater was a total party. 

The theater was so loud. Everyone was laughing and talking as if we were all best friends. 

I  loved it. 

I am thankful for the gift of sitting together and enjoying each other's company again. 

 Sometimes, I forget how much I missed these moments of connection during COVID-19.
