When I first saw the preview for GIFTED, I was filled with anticipation. First of all, Chris Evans…hello! And second, Octavia Spencer…she’s my absolute favorite.

Disney’s latest movie, The BFG, based on the book by Roald Dahl, comes out July 1st.

Fall in love with Dory all over again with Disney’s Finding Dory
I don’t remember the first time I saw Finding Nemo, but I do remember the first time I got to watch it with my son. We fast-forwarded through the beginning (because hello TRAUMATIC!) and then got swept away in the adventures of Marlin and Nemo. When I heard they were making a sequel called Finding Dory,… [Read More]

Race to the Edge with new Netflix show #StreamTeam
My kids are known to get stuck on a television show. And by stuck, I mean obsessed. We went through a huge Phineas & Ferb phase…and then it was RescueBots and Power Rangers. With my daughter, we watched a lot of Daniel Tiger and Justin Time. Most recently, my son has protested against watching My Little Ponies, but… [Read More]
Summer Streaming with Netflix: Historical Dramas and Puppies, Oh My!
Do you ever feel like nowadays we just have TOO many choices when it comes to TV? I had an evening a few days ago where I swear I flipped through 100+ options and still couldn’t find what I wanted to watch. I think even the kids have been feeling it. My daughter has been… [Read More]
