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.

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

Let’s face it, we live in a streaming society, where all of our television or movie demands can be instantly … [Read more...]
