Recently I was driving to Anaheim from the Valley on a Friday afternoon. Naturally there was traffic & I was stuck in gridlock, no matter what freeway I took. My daughter was in the backseat, happily listening to music on her iPod. I decided that I needed to "get my zen on" & popped into the CD player this new album by Emeralde called Wind and Shadows. Wind and Shadows is the first album for Emeralde & it is a powerful CD that … [Read more...]
NEW Holiday Movie “Santa’s Little Helper” Out on DVD + Giveaway
One of my favorite family holiday traditions is to watch Christmas movies during the month of December. We usually pick out one or two DVDs to watch over the weekend & then when our daughter starts her winter vacation from school, we increase it to one movie per night until Christmas Day. As you can imagine, our DVD bookshelf has a wide selection of holiday movies. It's so fun to get cozy on the couch with our mugs of hot chocolate or hot … [Read more...]

Bridget Wilder: Spy-in-Training {Book Review}
As a mother of an elementary school-aged girl, I’m very conscious of the type of messages that are out there in the pop culture atmosphere. The animated movies that I grew up with usually focused on a damsel in distress, waiting for her prince to come rescue her or to wake her up from a deep sleep with a special kiss.
