Daily thoughts on living with a large family; parenting, recipes, entertainment, photography tips, and family-friendly products.
My husband is guest posting today with a few tips from his area of expertise – video! When you think of home movies, do the terms “well framed,” “good content,” “excellent lighting” and “superb cinematography” come to your mind? No? Then you must be doing something wrong. Not really. In my opinion, there is nothing [...]
I’d like to say that I’m a woman of many (hidden) talents. Not quite. I’ve always considered myself good at many things and great at only a few. I’m just an ordinary, relatively unexciting girl with few surprises up my sleeve. Maybe that’s why I was attracted to my husband. CandyMan is an extreme – [...]
In the last 17 1/2 years since I got married and had kids, I’ve gathered up quite an extensive collection of home movies. I started out using one of those enormous camcorders recording on VHS, then moved to a smaller camcorder using smaller tapes. Eventually, we bought a video recorder that used mini DVDs, and [...]
I just finished watching the trailer for the must-see romantic comedy Connecting Flights, about two people who meet and fall in love in an airport. Seriously, I WANT to see this movie (they had me at, “I’m a blogger….Wait! I’m a blogger, too!”). I didn’t travel much by plane when I was younger and single…in [...]
I posted a photo on Tuesday of my two youngest kids wearing giant pajama pants and had several people request that I post the dancing video. So without further ado….here are the giant pajama dancing pants: PS – Yes, these are my pajama pants, and yes they are very, very large and stretchy. And, yes, [...]
There aren’t too many movies that I am THIS excited about, but when I saw the first trailer for Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph, I couldn’t wait to see it. A new trailer was just released yesterday and I had to share. About Wreck-It Ralph: From Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore comes “Wreck-It [...]
“We don’t care whether you believe us. He’s our little something unexpected. Our little miracle.” —Jennifer Garner as Cindy Green in “The Odd Life of Timothy Green” The Odd Life of Timothy Green follows a couple, Jim and Cindy Green, who are trying to adopt a child. As they tell their story to the adoption [...]
Frankenweenie is totally Tim Burton and completely one-of-a-kind all in the same breath. I admit that it wasn’t on my must-see movie radar…until I saw an extended sneak peek of the movie and talked with the Producer Allison Abbate when I was in LA last month. Frankenweenie opens in spectacular Disney 3D on October 5 [...]
My kids are officially on Summer Vacation, as of last Tuesday. Summer time is both a blessing and a curse. I love letting my body wake up when it wants to. I love spending time at my neighborhood pool and playing games with my kids. I love taking day trips to see my sister in [...]
Almost all of my kids (minus KitKat, the oldest) are having a blast on their bikes this week. AJ learned to ride last year, but hasn’t had practice in a while. We were all thrilled that he did so well his first day back for the new season! I even video taped him riding with [...]
