If you are not familiar with Maryellen let me tell you a little bit about her. First - She's my favorite! Every time we are at the American Girl store in the Mall of America I must stop and take a look at Maryellen. I have been trying to convince Peyton to chose her for the last 2 years but Peyton keeps choosing the current girl fo the year. Maryellen is part of the Be Forever line so I always let Peyton have the girl of the year since they are only here for a year and the Be Forever line is ...

Disney’s BFG is Now Available!
Just in time for the holidays, Disney released The BFG on DVD! Peyton and I saw The BFG over the summer and loved it. Disney and Stephen Speilberg did a fabulous job bringing Roald Dahl's The BFG to life on the big screen. The BFG is a wonderful film to have on hand for family get togethers.

I had never seen The BFG before, I know there's an animated version but the first time I had ever seen The BFG or heard the story was when I saw ...

Caillou Goes for the Gold
Peyton was just fascinated with the Olympics this summer. She could not get enough of watching the women's gymnastic meets.

Caillou learns about soccer, basketball, karate, running and more. He learns that nothing is as easy as it looks. There are 11 episodes! That's about 60 minutes of Caillou having fun while learning new ...
