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. There are times where we have to stop the movie right smack in the middle because of what was said or what they showed on the screen. 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...]

June 30, 2011 by 6 Comments
Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a Test Drive campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Verizon FiOS and received a free trial of the products and services necessary to facilitate my review.

Celebrate Mother’s Day With Curious George
May 6, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Curious George is the famous monkey on one of my favorite channels as a child, PBS - channel 13. I remember watching Curious George and wishing I had a monkey just like him.

Now that I have kids of my own, I can reminiscence on my childhood while we watch Curious George on TV. This Mother's Day, PBS will have a special episode … [Read more...]
