Disneynature’s Wings of Life Review

honey bee Wings of life dvd

Last night, AJ, Reese and I sat down for an uninterrupted hour and a half. I didn’t do laundry. I didn’t blog. We watched bees and birds and bats. There were a lot of oohs and ewws and WOs! And there was a ton of learning. Just in time for Earth Day 2013, Disneynature has […]

Finding Dory - Disney•Pixar Announces Sequel to Finding Nemo!

finding dory - finding nemo sequel from Disney Pixar

There’s nothing quite like getting a huge announcement from Disney•Pixar just days before a big trip to the Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, California. The LONG awaited sequel to Finding Nemo (yes, it’s 12 years in the coming) was just announced yesterday. It’s funny - my daughter’s first reaction to the announcement was “Wait, is […]

The Croods Movie Review - Pre-historic Family Fun!

Before I headed out of town last week (it seems like AGES ago!) I had the chance to take 3 of my kids (the 3 who were not already committed to other weekend activities that morning) to a screening of the new Dreamworks movie, The Croods. Like many of animated kids’ movies, I hadn’t payed […]

3 Tips for Creating the Perfect Movie Night at Home

tips for creating the perfect movie night

For years, when we were in the middle of babies and diapers and not many funds left to pay a babysitter, date night meant movie night at home. Putting the kids to bed, popping some popcorn, and sitting down on the couch together to watch a movie was almost as rejuvenating as getting out of […]

No, I’m not talking about my oldest daughter heading off to college (expect that announcement next year). Me! I’m going to be leaving in just a few weeks for freshman orientation at MU (Monsters University, that is). My decision to head back to school came somewhat spur of the moment, though I’ve been putting quite […]

OZ the Great and Powerful Review and Printable Activity Sheets

Oz-poster

I grew up watching The Wizard of Oz. In fact, my family and I watched The Wizard of Oz together once a year on TV before every household had a VCR and a collection of classic movies on VHS. I remember being terrified of the Wicked Witch. I even remember getting a little nervous during […]

Jack the Giant Slayer Movie Review

Every once in a while I get to be a really cool mom - the kind of mom who takes a kid to the movies on a school night (and not just any movie, but a see-it-before-anyone-else screening). I get bonus points when the movie screening is for a highly-anticipated movie like Jack the Giant […]

I may be the only person in America not tuning in to the Super Bowl this weekend but that doesn’t mean I’m not excited to tune in to the some of the pre-game entertainment (and of course the commercials)! Here’s a preview of two sneak peek videos from Disney for a couple of the movies […]

My kids and I are just a little bit excited that Hotel Transylvania is available on DVD and Blu-ray today (shh…don’t tell, but someone who’s having a birthday tomorrow is getting this!). To celebrate the release of the DVD, my kids and I came up with a super-fun and easy craft inspired by the movie. […]
