1. Peter Pan - Remember what it is like to be a kid and dream wonderful dreams. As adults we often don't seem to remember dreaming or our dreams are about work or family issues. It is time to get back to dreams that will put a smile on your face rather than increase those frown lines.

2. Chronicles of Narnia - The books were classic. Do you remember having your 2nd or 3rd grade teacher read them to you during story time? Re-read the books and watch the movie. Take yourself back to a place where life was a little bit easier.

3. Lady & the Tramp - There are so many of us who married that guy from the "wrong side of the tracks" who turned out to be the best (and only) guy for us. There is adventure and love, tragedy and friendship…and they produced a whole bunch of really cute kids.

4. Mary Poppins - If you have ever left your kids with a babysitter or nanny have good thoughts that they are behaving and that the person you left to care for your precious children has the situation more than under control.

5. Beaches- Moms spend so much time on their husbands and children and immediate and extended families. Sometimes we need to take extra time for our friends. They are there for us in the good times and the bad. Be thankful for your friendships. Cherish them and nurture.

6. Mr. Holland's Opus - This movie will make us pray that our children's teachers are treated well and are always respected. Teachers have the ability to motivate and challenge our children in a way that we as parents may not be able to tap into. The gift of a teacher who has passion for his or her job is a priceless treasure that we can hope our children find.

7. Snow White - You need to watch this movie because it is the first one that Walt Disney did. This movie was the beginning of an empire but it was also the beginning of so many wonderful family memories. Oh yeah, it also shows that a woman can be JUST friends with a whole bunch of guys J.

8. Romy & Michele's High School Reunion - Yes, we all really did look that ridiculous in high school…and there will still be those who never really grow out of it. So make sure that you go to your reunion at least wearing updated clothes. Oh yeah, the big, backcombed, hairspray stiff hair is kinda out too.

9. Finding Nemo - No matter how irritated we get with our children there is nothing that they can do to lose our love. Our kids are our most special gifts and even though they may make silly decisions along the way they will always remain the people that we would die for if needed.

10. Cinderella - Some day your prince will come. If you have found your prince or you are still waiting for him to come…he will be pretty great. You may not have a fairy godmother to grant your every wish but you will have love. With a whole lot of love and hard work we can all have the happy ending that we are looking for. It would be nice to be skinny with a beautiful dress and diamonds but I will be content with the body I have after 3 children each 2 years apart, no need for a beautiful dress and 1 carat cubic zirconium earrings. Maybe I need that fairy godmother after all.
