An American Girl Story – Maryellen 1955: Extraordinary Christmas
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.

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 ...
Bring Home Pete’s Dragon for the Holidays
Earlier this year I took Peyton to see Pete's Dragon in the theater. It was a pretty emotional film, for both of us. I was concerned this would turn Peyton off but it didn't.

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. It really is a film that will entertain the whole family. 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 ...
Moana is Now in Theaters!
Peyton and I have been anxiously awaiting the release of Moana. The wait is OVER! Moana opened nationwide today at theaters everywhere. We were fortunate enough to have seen the movie last week and I have been dying to share our thoughts with you. But I couldn't, until today. Moana is awesome! Peyton gave it two thumbs up. I do have one warning, this is a longer movie. I believe it runs just shy of 2 hours. So with that being said, be sure your child can sit through it. And you may want to ...
