Devious Maids is Back!

I cannot believe I missed the season premiere of Devious Maids! It's one of my guilty pleasures. But thank goodness for DVRs. I was able to catch up last night and let me just say WOW! Last season ended with a huge cliffhanger. That demented teen tried to shoot and kill Valentina at Rosie's wedding. The scene closed with Rosie covered in blood and falling outside the church. And we had to wait 9 months to find out what happened.  Well the season started showing Rosie in a hospital bed ...

Strange Magic is a Toe Tapping Good Time

So last week Strange Magic was release on DVD all over the nation. I must have been living under a rock for the last 5 months or so because I never saw or heard about this movie before.

The music sucked me in. We love a good musical. So when I was at Target later that day I picked it up. I had a few ...

Wait for the Rain

We are huge readers at our house so when I was offered the chance to read Wait for the Rain by Maria Murnane in exchange for my honest and unbiased review I immediately said yes. So what is Wait for the Rain? My take is it is about a woman finding herself. The main character, Daphne, had goals and aspirations when she was in college. It's 20 years later ...Daphne is married and has raised a daughter and now doesn't really know who she is without all that. Her life has been her family. So her ...
