For this reason, I have decided to invite the Sanderson sisters – played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy – to my {imaginary} Halloween dinner party! The Sanderson sisters – Winifred, Sarah, and Mary – were a trio of diabolical witches that were executed in the 17th century but “thanks to a combination of a spell spoken before their demise and the accidental actions of Max, the new-kid-in-town, the sisters […]

Dinner Party: Special Mother’s Day Edition

Welcome to another one of my {imaginary} Saturday dinner parties, where I invite celebrity guests into my home. This month is special because it’s Mother’s Day is next Sunday. So today’s blog post is extra special because it features some of my favorite celebrity mother-daughter duos. I really think my mother would enjoy having dinner with these wonderful and inspiring women, sharing a meal with them, and exchanging stories about raising strong, independent, smart, and sassy daughters. The resemblances in these mother-daughter duos are uncanny and anyone can see why the acting bug didn’t fall far from the tree. You can also […]
