#Giveaway: Two AWESOMELY GROSS books by National Geographic Kids Books!

By Jeana on October 23, 2012 24 Comments

My son LOVES animals, absolutely anything and everything having to do with them. He is only 2, but one of his favorite things to do is to look through animal books and learn as many new ones as he can. I am always floored at his memory and how he can tell the difference between a Hammerhead, Nurse, Leopard and Great White shark. Most adults wouldn't know these! Being an animal lover myself, I am always happy to encourage his infatuation and I enjoy learning along with him. I was recently … [Read more...]

{Review} Grey’s Anatomy The Complete 8th Season DVD

By Kristin on October 19, 2012 Leave a Comment

Hi, my name is Kristin and I am a Grey's Anatomy addict. I'm definitely not the only addict, with the show's over 18 million Facebook fans, I have a lot of company. What's that, you want to know whether I'm Team McSteamy or Team McDreamy...my answer, why choose sides? And how is it, that no one talks about Owen Hunt played by the Scottish hottie, Kevin McKidd? Maybe a better question, for you the readers, is can you really be a true Grey's fan and not own the season on DVD? You see, when you … [Read more...]

By Kristin on August 15, 2012 1 Comment

Sometimes you walk out of a movie theater and are inspired to be a better person. Maybe you want to be a better friend, a better spouse or a better athlete, but after seeing The Odd Life of Timothy Green, I wanted to be a better parent. As a parent, I know children are miracles.

By Ashley on July 28, 2012 Leave a Comment

A stroll through the mall will find pairs of sparkling, twinkling toes. It seems girls 6 to 13 are going crazy over Twinkle Toes footwear by Skechers. They have even over run the mud room of my aunt's home. Her resident fashion diva has 3 PAIRS! In her words "they are sparkly, neat, and shiny. Plus, they make her run really fast." I don't know about making her run any faster but I can agree with the first part. These shoes are almost like works of art. Did you know that there is a movie … [Read more...]

Pixar’s Brave Hits the Bullseye on Every Target

By Kristin on June 23, 2012 Leave a Comment

I'm really tired, I think its the jet lag from our trip to Scotland. It was gorgeous, the rolling hills, craggy peaks and lush landscape. I loved the colorful kilts, the lyrical accents, the grand castles and the celtic music! Um, wait, so we didn't get on a plane or need our passports, dang it we weren't really in Scotland just in the theater watching Disney Pixar's Brave! All jiggery pokery aside (nonsense), Pixar did such a phenomenal job with the animation, musical score and actors, I really … [Read more...]

{Review} What to Expect is Both Funny and Unexpected

By Kristin on May 17, 2012 Leave a Comment

On Tuesday evening as I was driving with my best friend to the advanced screening of What to Expect When You're Expecting and we were talking about our children. We both have two children, a son and a daughter but while hers are 6 and 15 mine are 1.5 and 3.5 years old. We were discussing how no one tells you the whole truth about pregnancy and no matter what you hear you can't really be prepared until you experience it yourself. And no one ever tells you how hard it is to keep your children … [Read more...]
