Julie and Julia...

the Movie.

I laughed.

I cried.

I loved it!

What touched me the most was Julia's passion

for cooking
and how it all came about.

She found something she liked,

she studied,

and she mastered.

In homeschooling we call that delight-directed study.

It is best kind of learning.

She didn't set out to have a *career*

She just did what she loved.

(disclaimer-I don't know if this is an accurate portrayal of Julia Child

but I did like what *this* story portrayed.)

Now, the parts about Julie that I could relate to

were the *blogging* issues.

You know what I'm talking about:

concern over her *audience*,

waiting for comments, and

getting lost in blogland.

Overall, it was a sweet story

that I enjoyed seeing with my girls.
