Over the past year, Peyton has become interested in super heroes. It all started with Spider-Man, then quickly grew to include Iron Man, Captain America and the Hulk. Last month I took Peyton to see Marvel Universe Live and that's when she fell in love with Black Widow, a female super hero who could kick some major butt. We ended up purchasing our first Black Widow doll that night and Peyton has not stopped talking about Black Widow since. When Peyton saw the trailer for Captian America: ...

We live in a country where girls are required to attend school or be homeschooled just as we require the boys. There are no separate rules for girls. We are fortunate that this mentality is our norm. Some are ...
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.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with PBS Kids

Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood ...
