Check Out All that Jeep has to Offer at Buhler Chrysler Jeep Dodge

Recently I took in the Twin Cities Auto Show and spent some time in the Jeep Ride and Drive experience. I never knew a Jeep could do half the things they did! But Buhler Chrysler Jeep Dodge did!

First Thoughts on A Wrinkle in Time

A Wrinkle in Time Screening Event

When I first saw the trailer for A Wrinkle in Time I knew I just had to see it. Peyton, on the other hand, was a little more hesitant. Peyton thought there were parts of the movie that was a little too dark for her but I had a feeling she would love this movie. So I kept coaxing her. And when the day of the screening arrived she agreed to go! So now, I'm going to share both of our thoughts on A Wrinkle in Time, without any spoilers. We both agreed this was a great family film but intended ...

Enjoy Thor: Ragnarok Like It’s Meant to Be Seen

When we moved last year I went through and upgraded all of our televisions. One of the big things I treated myself to was a 55-inch 4k television. It was a serious upgrade from the 36-inch tube television we had been watching. A HUGE upgrade. Instantly I could tell the difference. The picture was much larger and it was crisp! It was as if I was having a movie theater experience in our own living room! Now, when new movies come out, we only watch them in our family room. Today, Thor: Ragnarok ...

Creating Family Memories with Lady and the Tramp

Lady and the Tramp is one of the first movies I remember from my childhood. It was also one of my favorites.

Now, fast forward, I have a little girl and 2 German Shepherds of my own. Lady and the Tramp has been brought out of the Disney Vault for a little while and I intend on enjoying this Disney Classic with my family. Tonight, I am watching Lady and ...
