I had really wanted to see Queen of Katwe when it was in theaters. But, it never happened. Luckily for me, it's now out on Blu-Ray! I can watch it anytime I would like from the comfort of my home. Queen of Katwe is a little personal for our family. I sponsor a child, she's lives in Africa. I also have a cousin that has done work over in Africa working with youth, teaching them soccer and giving them an education. So when I heard the story of Queen of Katwe I knew I wanted to see it. I wanted to ...

Pinocchio is Now on Blu-Ray
I remember growing up and watching Pinocchio with my cousins and just mesmerized. I actually believed there was a place where a wooden marionette could turn into a boy. Who doesn't cheer Pinocchio on while he's attempting to demonstrate his bravery, loyalty and honesty to become a real boy? I let Peyton watch Pinocchio for the first time this weekend and here's what she thought - Peyton was very excited to sit down and watch. She had heard of Pinocchio but couldn't understand how a ...
Preserve Precious Memories with Dune Jewelry
A few years ago my grandmother and I took a trip to Hawaii. It was a special, once in a lifetime trip that I will never forget. Just the two of us for a week. It feels like it was just yesterday but in reality, it was nearly 10 years ago! Time flies by fast. One of my favorite memories from that trip was taking a drive up the shoreline on the Big Island to the black sand beaches. We spent an afternoon at Punalu'u watching the turtles wander around on shore. It's one of my favorite ...

Pureology: Serious Color Care
I've been coloring my hair since college. That means I've been coloring my hair for 15 years! And that can cause damage, lots of damage. Every time you color your hair you are damaging it.

So I'm never going to stop coloring my hair but I will look for personal care products that are going to help keep my hair healthy. Pureology has several ...
Your Natural Traction Solution
If you live in the midwest you are probably experiencing some pretty interesting weather today. We live just outside the Twin Cities and we have seen everything from rain to sleet to snow today. Schools are already putting out the message of late starts for tomorrow. And I can verify the roads are icy! I had to run over to my grandmother's house, about 20 minutes away on a dry day, and I could definitely tell the roads were getting very slick. On the way to her house, it was fine but coming ...
