I Like To…..

October 21, 2011

Caitlyn has sentences to write every week for her spelling words.  She is in 1st grade and her words are still fairly generic, last week’s words are dig, dog, cat, doll, nest and bell.  I have been picking her up from school on “sentence” day for the past few weeks and I am finding her [...]

The Gruffalo

September 5, 2011

I was sent a cute movie called the Gruffalo for review.  Obviously it really doesn’t matter what I thought of it.  Take a look at the two video clips below to see what Caitlyn thought. A little info about the movie: Based on the best-selling children’s book, The Gruffalo is a magical tale of a [...]

Ready Set Grover!

September 3, 2011

The good people at Sesame Street (I think his name was Mr. Hooper) sent me over a game for the grand twins to try out on the Wii.  And then Kathy called the contractors and the house got put under quarantine for a few weeks. Last Sunday evening I made a big family dinner (Crock [...]

Once Upon a Time

August 31, 2011

Based upon the trailer below (which I have seen countless times on tv and at press events) I have not had any interest in seeing the new ABC Fall show Once Upon a Time. It looked too dark and creepy for my liking. While at D23 I agreed to go to a viewing of the [...]

Dis-Nerd

August 20, 2011

I have never been a Dis-Nerd.  In fact some may have described me as Anti-Disney (those some may or may not be my children). I went with the kids to Disneyland for the last time when Toy Story first came out in the theaters (yes, my kids are that old).  After that visit I proclaimed [...]

Prom

April 30, 2011

Do you remember your High School Prom?  Honestly I don’t remember much of it.  Obviously I didn’t go to school in a Disney film heh. I didn’t really want to see this movie, I have never seen any of the Disney High School Musical films and I am quite proud of that.  But I owed [...]

Early Adopter

April 8, 2011

I have an inkling that watching Rocko when he was little may have started Adam wanting to move to Australia a long time ago.  It is finally coming out on DVD in June, perhaps a copy will end up in a care package.   By the way, no one is giving or paying me anything [...]

That Devil Moon and Ain’t Love Grand

March 21, 2011

Let me start by saying the author is a co-worker of mine, she gave me a copy of her books and asked me to review them.  If any of you think this influences my opinion you may as well just click that little x in the corner right now. I did not read Ain’t Love [...]

Deep Down True

February 17, 2011

It took me a little while to appreciate this book.  A recently single mother of two finding her way on her own and most importantly discovering herself. Throughout the first half of the book I thought she was insipid and spineless and wanted to just smack her. You see, I am an Amazon Van Houten [...]

Disney Online Eats – Giveaway

February 7, 2011

It is no secret I am not a huge fan of the Disney parks. I think they are too expensive to get in and even more expensive to get out. But from the friends I have that are avid fans I hear the same thing over and over – the food is amazing. To them [...]
