I frequently browse the new books at my library. I don’t always finish them after I get them home, but once in awhile I pick one that captures my interest enough to make the effort to finish it. That is the case with Frank Bruni’s memoir, Born Round: The Secret History of a Full-time Eater.

With the kids out of school due to President’s Day, we decided to go check out the latest adventure movie geared to kids, Percy Jackson and the Olympians – The Lightening Thief. The previews have been showing for awhile now and since I have two boys who really enjoy action movies, this one looked very [...]
A few months ago we began seeing previews for the latest Dwayne Johnson movie, The Tooth Fairy. We’ve seen some of his other movies that were made for kids and enjoyed them, so when my oldest son chose this movie as the one he wanted to go see for his birthday we were all happy [...]
A few weeks ago, I was browsing the bargain books at a local bookstore and came across a copy of Better Homes and Gardens Snack Attack! for a pretty good price. My initial glance through the book made me purchase it to see if it could get my boys into the kitchen.
The cookbook is filled [...]
I’m not a mom who enjoys really ”messy” projects. So, when my boys kept asking for Martian Matter Alien Maker Playset – Spaceship I was a little apprehensive. I took a quick look and saw that it came with “Lunar Lava” and “Martian Mud” and thought that this was going to end up being a mess [...]
Last summer, we took a trip to Washington, D.C. While we were at the American History Museum, we discovered a really cool building toy, ZOOB! We had never seen anything like it and it was very hard to pull our 7 and 6 year old boys away from it to move on to other exhibits [...]

The goal of the cookbook is to get kids into the kitchen and help them learn some basics and enjoy eating healthy food as well.
The [...]
I love Halloween and all the fun that comes along with it. This year, I decided to throw a party for my boys and their friends to take full advantage of the fun that could be had. So, last weekend we had our 1st Annual Halloween Party. I’m going to share a few of the [...]
When my boys were 3 and 4 years old, we enjoyed reading the book Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. The incredible tale of the town Chewandswallow and the food that falls from the skies to feed the people who live there. When we saw the previews for the new movie coming out we were [...]
I don’t know about anyone else, but the idea of setting aside time for myself for exercise or other physical activities was not high on my list of priorities after I had my first child. That’s not the case for all moms though. Some of you may have seen that Kim Clijsters won the 2009 U.S. Open [...]
