I watched The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio awhile back and let me tell you, Bob, I love it. It’s based on a true story {and there is a book by the same name} about a woman who raised a HUGE family by entering jingle-writing contests for different products. It’s such a great story about perseverance and “blooming where you are planted.”
Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.
Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

How is it that I haven’t heard of this movie, especially when it has Julianne Moore in it? (I’m a bit of a movie geek.) It’s definitely going to the top of my must-see movie list!
