Children are much like sponges. They just absorb things, good and bad, from their environment. There are so many things we don’t have to physically sit down and teach our children. Morals are one of the many lessons that we teach our children without books, manuals, and desks. Morals are something that our children watch […]

As you know Little Women comes out on Friday and if you’re an avid reader/lover of classics you’re probably wondering Little Women: Does it Live up to the Classic? I can honestly say I was worried about watching this movie. You see for me I was raised with an old classic Little Women book. I […]
Cirque Du Soliel Crystal on Ice Comes to DC
So I love Cirque performances. They have a history of crowd involvement. Maybe not so much get on the stage but the stage comes to you and that is amazing. There are no seats that you can’t see all there is to see. The performances are always over the top and entertaining that you don’t […]
Cirque Dreams Holidaze
We got to Cirque’s Luzia a few months ago and the kids loved it. It didn’t matter where you were seated in the space, you saw all of the action. We were supposed to attend the Cirque holiday show at National Harbor last year but just couldn’t make it work. I’m excited to hear that […]

Musically Inclined Teens
Developing musical talent begins at a young age. Music surrounds us. Everyone has a talent when it comes to music. Some just are not sure where to begin looking for theirs. Not every person will excel at singing, or playing the saxophone, or even drumming. Each person is different. Most importantly encourage your teenager with […]

Wingardium Leviosa Comes to Life
This summer we challenged the kids to read at least 10 books. Rachael went above and beyond by reading all 13 Lemony Snicket books and then added some more.

Instant Family Trailer
Most people don’t know that my family has a long history of being foster parents. While not us or my parents (yet), my grandparents definitely were. In their fostering time, they took in 41 children most of whom were born to HIV positive mothers and adopted four children. So to me an Instant Family is […]

Little Women #Giveaway
I’m being honest that I’m not sure how the new Little Women movie is going to go. I love the classic. NO I’m not talking the Winnona Ryder version. I’m talking the old black and white Little Women that told the story true to the book. The new version of Little Women takes the classic […]

Newest Mary Poppins Returns Trailer and Poster
Mary Poppins has always been one of my favorite movies. I’m excited to see what is going to happen in Mary Poppins Returns. The biggest reason is it’s not a remake. Its not a retelling. Its a continuation of the story and one that so many families can relate to. I think the idea of […]

Getting Creative with Cutie Stix Fun
Rachael is definitely my creative girl. She loves to take odds and ends from around the house and turn them into something different and new. While at Sweet Suite this summer, Charlie and I found Cutie Stix fun and we knew they were perfect for Rachael. We reached out to Cutie Stix and they sent […]
Strictly Briks Building Different Directions
We all know and love those little plastic bricks (well except when the kids forget to clean them up and you step on them in the middle of the night). I love the creativity that they allow for the kids. Strictly Briks is a slightly different role in our building lives though. Strictly Briks sent […]
Laughter Abounds in Book Club
I wanted to see Book Club when it was in the theaters but its so hard for me to go to an adult movie due to schedules. I was excited when Paramount Pictures asked me to review Book Club on Blu-Ray and DVD. It arrived when we needed a bit of laughter. View this post […]
