I watched Motherhood and Julie & Julia on the same day, while flying from Bangkok to Los Angeles.
As a blogger I was excited and inspired to watch blogging-women-themed movies.
I found Motherhood to be the more stressful of the two films, but maybe it hit too close to home. Or maybe not.
In Motherhood, Uma Thurman [...]

I have never done yoga before (except for another yoga for kids DVD I own), but I do incorporate movement activities into our daily classroom routine and was interested [...]

N’Circle sent us their newest DVD for kids, Puppy Party! I just know this is going to become a favorite of Deeds.
Deeds is my animal lover, though he is partial to vehicles as well.
For a while, whenever he was sad because I was leaving for work, the baby sitter would say, “Let’s go see the [...]

Lets talk about a people group with known learning disabilities when it comes to math: MUNCHKINS.
Obviously, Munchkins are not extremely bright on a number of levels. For one, they could have easily immigrated to Kansas and therefore avoided the threat of wicked witches in flying monkeys, all of whom live in Oz, which is not [...]

Jojo learned a lot from our LeapFrog DVD’s. My favorite title was our 2003-edition of LeapFrog - Letter Factory (it has now been revamped and I haven’t seen the newer version).
LeapFrog - Letter Factory taught Jojo all of his phonetic sounds at the age of 2. I gave him the DVD for his 2nd birthday [...]

I can’t help but compare other adaptations of A Christmas Carol to the Mickey version. Very often, when I weigh one against the other, the challenger comes out wanting.
Since becoming a parent, I [...]

I know that other parents out there won’t judge me: Jojo LOVED the Doodlebops when he was three.
The show used to air on Playhouse Disney, fairly early in the morning (like 5:30 or 6 am), and Jojo never missed it.
He memorized the Doodlebop pledge and the hand motions, and I vividly remember taking him over [...]
