P&G Family Movie Night: “Who is Simon Miller?” Premieres August 6, 2011

P&G and Walmart have partnered together to create movies that families can watch together. As a mom of 3, it's often difficult to watch a movie that is age-appropriate for everyone, including my 6-year-old.

Watching movies that are appropriate for the whole family always get a 2 thumbs up from me. "Who is Simon Miller?" is one of them. I was fortunate … [Read more...]

Kick Off the First Day of Summer with Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules

Like I said before, I'm a kid at heart. I love animated movies and any movies suitable for children.  It's something I can watch and not worry if something inappropriate will "show up" and make my eyes bleed knowing my kids saw something that wasn't for their innocent eyes (I'm really referring to my 6 y/o - the other two know more than I think they know!). The one movie I did enjoy and saw dozens of times with my kids was Diary of a Wimpy Kid, based on the best-selling book series by … [Read more...]

The Muppets Movie Arriving in Theatres November 23rd.

Can you believe it's been 11 years since The Muppets last big-screen feature film? When I was a little girl, I grew up with all the Muppets so I get nostalgic just by looking at my daughter fall in love with the Muppets. I think during the Muppets is when I learned about obsession.

When Disney flew me (along … [Read more...]
