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.

It’s Saturday and my fantasy dinner party is coming together. I’ve got a simple, yet elegant, tablescape. The wine chilling is in the fridge. And I’m putting the final touches on dinner and dessert.

I have been huge fans of these actors and actresses for years. I remember watching some of these actors in big budget movies and independent films, and on TV shows. So let’s get to the […]
