IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO CHANGE YOUR FATE, WOULD YOU? - MERIDA, DISNEY/PIXAR'S BRAVE I've seen lots of activity online about Brave, a new animated movie from Disney/Pixar that comes out June 22, 2012 in the US. At first I wasn't sure about the story line but after seeing the movie trailer and reading the plot outline, I'm hooked. As a mother of a daughter, I have … [Read more...]

Next week is a great week. Not only do I get to celebrate TWO holidays (May Day and Cinco de Mayo) and take my daughter to the Children's Museum of Memphis, Marvel's The Avengers also opens in theaters on Friday. I know what you're thinking, I'm not the typical comic book movie lover. It's true, I'm not typical but I do love these types of movies and with cast … [Read more...]
DisneyNature's Chimpanzee opens in theaters on Friday, April 20th. If you haven't heard about Chimpanzee, this is a movie that takes viewers deep into the African forest where they are introduced to a delightfully entertaining young chimpanzee named Oscar and his mom, Isha. When a tragic incident occurs, Oscar's life is changed forever in a very remarkable way. … [Read more...]

As any parent knows, actually being able to get a babysitter, going out for dinner and a movie isn't always the easiest thing in the world. What seems like an easy process requires a small act of divine intervention at times. The past … [Read more...]
If you haven't seen a Cirque du Soleil show, you my friend are missing out. I first saw La Nouba by Cirque du Soleil about eight years ago. Professional conferences are typically held in large cities with lots of tourist attractions. That year, the conference I was attending happened to be in Orlando. I had never been to Orlando before and only associated it with … [Read more...]
Oh, Paul. As much as I want to strangle you, I do want to hear what is going to come out of your mouth next as it's always quite absurd. So far I think my favorite episode has been #4, "Don't Be A Meanie." Watching Paul trying to set up Maureen, the Consumers Affairs agent sent to investigate him is entertaining. Especially when they go out in the cab of love. … [Read more...]
Now that I'm a mom of a toddler, I'm more in tune with the current toy trends. I find it quite interesting that the toys that I had as a child have reinvented themselves and are still as popular as they were YEARS ago. Just recently my daughter and I attended a birthday party for one of her friends and guess what the theme was? Yup, My Little Pony. My Little Pony … [Read more...]
I can't recall ever going on a blind date nor have I used a matchmaking service but I've had my share of embarrassing moments on dates. Probably my most embarrassing (can't believe I'm admitting this) was while taking a cab from DC to somewhere in Virginia to hear some random band play. I have an issue with using public restrooms so I try to avoid them at all costs. … [Read more...]
