【The Irresistible Daughter in Law】

In the year 2000,The Irresistible Daughter in Law the world was forever changed thanks to the brilliant Amy Sherman-Palladino and a quaint Connecticut town. For seven blissful years we had the pleasure of living vicariously through the lives of the quirky, quick-witted and caffeinated characters of Stars Hollow, and after years of filling our Gilmore-voids by watching re-runs and drinking obscenely large quantities of coffee, the girls are back.

In anticipation of the the Netflix revival, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, we thought it would be wise to look back on some of the many valuable life lessons Gilmore Girls hastaught us.
