I've been writing Ramshackle Glam for nearly ten whole years - which means that there is a LOT of good stuff hanging out in my archives. So each Friday, we'll be doing a little throwback to one of my personal favorites. This week's is a searing three-part post on a marriage torn apart by faith and politics - you may recall that it was originally written anonymously by a woman named "EB." In the years since she wrote these words, EB has published a memoir on the topic, and has given me permission to post her story here. 

Lyz Lenz is the author of God Land: A Story of Faith, Loss, and Renewal in Middle America. She is also one of my personal heroes.

Me + cheeks on our very first movie outing, 2013. It went great. 

We watch a lot of movies as a family, both in the theater and at home. It's kind of our thing - not to mention a really lovely way for us to get in all-four-of-us time, since a new animated release that will make neither parent fall asleep is one activity we're all virtually guaranteed to be on board with.

What this means, however, is that I'm constantly searching for suggestions for amazing movies that I haven't thought of yet. So I thought I'd put together a list of my all-time favorite family-friendly movies*, and see if you guys would do me the solid of adding your suggestions below.

I'm going to do one of Paintillio's custom paint-by-numbers pieces as a form of art therapy, and am considering this as the pic to use. I posted a few other contenders - plus some thoughts on the pure vanity/pure awesomeness of painting yourself - over on IG, and would be curious to hear your thoughts.

This article about Al Franken's exit from the Senate is an essential read - not to mention an extraordinary work of journalism. (The Case Of Al Franken, via The New Yorker.)

Oh excuse me GUESS WHAT IS AVAILABLE AT URBAN OUTFITTERS?
