Yea!! We are going to Disney World!! It's thrilling to say that one sentence. But it also means there's lots of work ahead. The days of just picking up on a whim and heading off to Disney are far far behind us. If you want to really get the most for your vacation dollar, not stand in ridiculously long lines, enjoy some sit down meals with your family and stay in your dream resort it means you better start planning. And start planning ATLEAST 180 days from arrival. No, I am not kidding. It really ...
Devious Maids is Back!
I cannot believe I missed the season premiere of Devious Maids! It's one of my guilty pleasures. But thank goodness for DVRs. I was able to catch up last night and let me just say WOW! Last season ended with a huge cliffhanger. That demented teen tried to shoot and kill Valentina at Rosie's wedding. The scene closed with Rosie covered in blood and falling outside the church. And we had to wait 9 months to find out what happened. Well the season started showing Rosie in a hospital bed ...
Strange Magic is a Toe Tapping Good Time
So last week Strange Magic was release on DVD all over the nation. I must have been living under a rock for the last 5 months or so because I never saw or heard about this movie before. The first time I noticed it was this weekend. I was watching cartoons in bed with my daughter (actually I was trying to sleep) and a trailer came on for Strange Magic. It really caught my attention.

Happy Birthday to Peyton!
Peyton turns 5 today! Without Peyton this blog would not be in existence. So lets all take a moment and wish Peyton a Happy Birthday!

A little while after that I was wheeled into the room where Peyton was waiting for me. To be honest I was so drugged up I really didn't ...
Terry Treetop and the Little Bear {Ebook} Review
We discovered the Terry Treetop series a few months ago and just fell in love with Terry. He's a lovable little boy with lively adventures. So when we were offered the chance to read Terry Treetop and the Little Bear in exchange for our honest and unbiased opinion I agreed. My daughter really enjoys these books so I knew she would want to read this one too. When we catch up with Terry Treetop he is hanging out in his treehouse looking around. It had been a long winter but he heard the Cuckoo ...
Wait for the Rain
We are huge readers at our house so when I was offered the chance to read Wait for the Rain by Maria Murnane in exchange for my honest and unbiased review I immediately said yes. So what is Wait for the Rain? My take is it is about a woman finding herself. The main character, Daphne, had goals and aspirations when she was in college. It's 20 years later ...Daphne is married and has raised a daughter and now doesn't really know who she is without all that. Her life has been her family. So her ...
