I didn’t let my daughter watch Disney Channel’s made for TV movie High School for a long, long time. The name made me think that it was more appropriate for older kids than my 7 year old, and I was concerned about influences of inappropriate behavior. After a lot of lobbying by my daughter, I [...]

Since our son was born just over 5 years ago we have visited JCPenney’s portrait studio almost yearly. It has served our needs well by providing nice portraits for a very reasonable price.

I’ve been previewing the upcoming series Word World and I must tell you that I’ve finally found a show on TV (well, soon to be on TV anyway) that I’d actually let my kids watch. It’s an incredibly innovative addition to the preschoolers TV lineup that’s coming to PBS Kids in the fall of this [...]

I like mom magazines as much as anyone and when a new one hits the market, it’s very likely I will check it out. I think the one in question came to us via some frequent flyer points we were needing to use up and didn’t have enough to actually merit travel. Enter Cookie. Ummmm, [...]

One of the many great things about having an 11 year old stepdaughter is having someone with whom to share my love of Harry Potter. The release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has long been counted down in our house and since school is out now, we decided to attend the [...]

For me the mark of a great author is someone makes me want to go out and read everything they’ve ever written, and I’ve been doing that with Janet Evanovich’s books for years. Books in her “Stephanie Plum” series make me literally laugh out loud at least three times per book. So anytime a new [...]

Typically I do not enjoy anything animated, whether it be movies or cartoons. When you have a child you learn to appreciate the value in this area of entertainment. My first favorite movie was Nemo. What a good story line with great animation and characters. The second was CARS and then Happy Feet (because the [...]
