My son took me on a 'date' (so sweet :) to see Beauty and the Beast.  It was so wonderful!  The backdrop and scenery/set were magnificent and stunning.  Some of the scenes, especially the ballroom dance scene, were simply beautiful.  I greatly enjoyed it and kudos to Disney for a well-made live action version of a beloved tale.  Emma Watson was a ( Read more... )

So tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the US.  I'm lucky to have a gathering tomorrow as well as one on Friday.  But, I have to bring food to both.  For the one tomorrow, I'm taking 3 desserts.  Even though there are only 3, I have been cooking for four and a half hours tonight!  Oi!  I'm exhausted.  But, hopefully it will be delicious :)

Hope the season is bright and merry for everyone!

Does it make me goofy that I thoroughly enjoy watching this campy series?

I hope it's been a wonderful day for everyone :)  My 9 year old surprised me with breakfast in bed!  He did it all by himself, too.  I heard him talking in the kitchen, saying things like "what else what else...cereal, perfect!" and things like that.  I thought he was talking with his dad at first, but never heard the deeper sound of the hubby, so ( Read more... )

My kid turned 8 the other day.  Guess I can't really have 'toddler adventures' posts anymore since he is way past toddler phase lol.  I can't believe how fast time flies!  He was just born a minute ago.  He found my old School House Rock dvds the other day and wanted to watch them with mommy.  He really loved 3's a Magic Number and Interjections!

We went to see Rise of the Guardians last night.  That was an AMAZING film.  We absolutely loved it.  It says something about the enjoyment factor when a good chunk of the audience in the theater applauds a flim at the end, and that is just what happened in the theater we attended.  If you haven't had a chance to go see it yet, I highly recommend ( Read more... )

So, the son & I are watching the 2005 movie version of King Kong.  It's actually not a bad film, fun to watch.  Some of the scenes though, crack me up!  Like, when King Kong pulls the girl from the sacrificial alter where her arms are tied by rope.  I swear it looks like he broke both her arms!  Check it out at approximately the 2:59 min mark    ( Read more... )

My mom and I went to see The Avengers over the weekend as a mother's day gift to ourselves.  It was absolutely fantastic...and it's one of the few movies I would actually go back to the theater a second time to pay and see.  There were several scenes that still make me laugh just thinking about them.

We even stayed until the very very end of the ( Read more... )
