Memoirs That I Love – November 2015 Edition

Posted on November 8, 2015 | Filed Under: Books, Pop Culture | Tags: Andy Cohen, Jillian Lauren, Joe Zee | Leave a Comment

One of the great things about reading a good book, especially with memoirs is that it transports you back in time & gives you the  ability to experience what life was like for the author during that time period of the book. There are three memoirs that I've enjoyed recently & I think perhaps you will too! While it's no secret that I enjoy watching TV, my first love as a child was reading books & getting immersed in a world that was … [Read more...]

Seal’s New Album “7” Drops Today!

Posted on November 6, 2015 | Filed Under: Books, Pop Culture | Tags: Seal "7", Seal musician, Trevor Horn | Leave a Comment

When I first heard Seal’s music back in the early 90s, I was just starting college & still rocking the big hair (not sure why). I played those two CDs (“Seal” & “Seal II”) to death! Since then, he has released many more albums. The last two recent ones “Hits” & “Commitment and Soul 2” were so-so in my book. That’s why I am super excited to review his new “7” album that releases today, November 6th! It is a true return to … [Read more...]

It seems like every November, around Thanksgiving week, Disney releases their latest family friendly movie. It was a few years back when we took my daughter to see Frozen at the movie theater. This year's Disney*Pixar movie is The Good Dinosaur & it looks to be another fun hit! "The Good Dinosaur" asks the question: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became … [Read more...]

Bridget Wilder: Spy-in-Training {Book Review}

Posted on October 30, 2015 | Filed Under: Books, Pop Culture | Tags: author Jonathan Bernstein, Bridget Wilder, children's books | 2 Comments

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. This is not the type of message that I’d like reinforced in my daughter & thankfully children’s movies as of late have very … [Read more...]

101 Movies to See Before You Grow Up Is a Must-Read!

Posted on October 20, 2015 | Filed Under: Books, Pop Culture | Tags: 101 Movies book review, 101 Movies to See Before You Grow Up, Suzette Valle | 2 Comments

As a mom I am very aware of the entertainment options that are available to my family. I am very cognizant of the fact that pop culture (while I am slightly obsessed with it) may not contain the best messages for my daughter. As parents, we have to decide as a family what is appropriate for our kids to watch or listen to on the radio. Let’s face it, we live in a streaming society, where all of our television or movie demands can be instantly … [Read more...]

It's Fall & for some folks it means enjoying the outdoors while the weather is still good with cooler temps & crisp air! Although I have to confess we are still dealing with warm temps here in SoCal. For some people, the Fall season means curling up with a good book or inviting a group of friends over to watch a good movie on Saturday night. Well with the movie Paper Towns you can do ALL of that & more! As I'm sure many of you … [Read more...]
