Hello Friends and welcome to the blog today.
I hope everyone is doing well after the holiday weekend. I took the time to do more packing, purge items we don’t need and update all of my household documents.
(It’s amazing the things you keep…I found my daughters report cards from the 3-5 grade, LOL)
This month Bianca and I have been taking advantage (of our streaming services) by watching some great movies, and documentaries in honor of Black History Month.
“February is not an excuse to watch these movies but we should partake in them more often.”
We do this for the culture in showing support for our black filmmakers, screenwriters, artist, and actors. I’ve curated a small list of films that we’ve seen this month and others that are upcoming on our roster.
