Bratz are Back!
While I missed the Bratz frenzy when they first came out (yes I know I am dating myself). And for a while I thought Peyton had missed it too. But she didn't! Many little girls are going to be happy to know that Bratz dolls are back! And they have new webisodes on YouTube! So what's new with Bratz? Well, now the dolls are combined with digital play!

Zootopia: A Place Where You Can Be Anything
Last night Peyton and I were lucky enough to get into a sneak peak of Zootopia! And when I say we were lucky I am not kidding. The place was packed! When we arrived an hour and a half before the start time the line had already formed. There were about 50 people ahead of us. And here I thought we were going to be the first ones there. Boy was I wrong. All the children in line were extremely excited to see Zootopia. Peyton has seen numerous trailers for the movie and her favorite character is ...
Bear Snores On
Peyton loves theatre so I try to take her to whatever performances we can get to. Stages Theatre is one of our favorite places to attend shows at. Why? Because the actors and actresses are children!

You may have read the book, Bear Snores On, it's very popular in the preschool and kindergarten crowd. Peyton was thrilled to see one of her ...
Celebrate Valentine’s Day with PBS Kids
I remember when the only choice for weekday children shows was PBS. I grew up watching all the greats like Sesame Street and Mister Rogers Neighborhood. But now there's so much more variety on PBS for little ones. There are even special themed Valentine's Day episodes. Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood Would You Be Mine? and Word World Be My Valentine's are both themed for Valentine's Day and geared towards teaching children while entertaining them at the same time. Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood ...
The Good Dinosaur
Last week Peyton and I went to a sneak peak of The Good Dinosaur. And I must say I have mixed emotions about the movie. On one hand I thought the animation was beautiful but on the other hand I felt like the ending was extremely unsatisfactory. I did not feel it was tied up nicely. It's like the writer just stopped, went for a coffee and never came back to finish it off. So what's the story line? Arlo, The Good Dinosaur, and his family live on a farm, Arlo's family consist of himself, 2 older ...
