Once we done with listening to Julia's life we went back to get in line to listen to Brinda's story. Another young girl, living in a different country, experiencing things a small child never should. I was not sure what my daughter was thinking at this point but I figured we would discuss her feelings and thoughts once we had gone through the whole experience. So we took our iPods and entered Brinda's door. Brinda lived with her sister's and mother in a very scary neighborhood. I ...
The Compassion Experience ~ Julia
A few weeks back I heard something about a project called the Compassion Experience and it was coming to a town very near us. So I took a moment to look it up and see what it was all about. After doing a little research I learned it was a group of trailers set up to show how children in other countries lived. It was to depict the actual living situations and issues each child faced and 3 children from different countries were to have their personal stories told. I feel that in my ...
We’re Going To Disney!
Yea!! We are going to Disney World!! It's thrilling to say that one sentence. But it also means there's lots of work ahead. The days of just picking up on a whim and heading off to Disney are far far behind us. If you want to really get the most for your vacation dollar, not stand in ridiculously long lines, enjoy some sit down meals with your family and stay in your dream resort it means you better start planning. And start planning ATLEAST 180 days from arrival. No, I am not kidding. It really ...
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 first time I noticed it was this weekend. I was watching cartoons in bed with my daughter (actually I was trying to sleep) and a trailer came on for Strange Magic. It really caught my attention. 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 ...
Happy Birthday to Peyton!
Peyton turns 5 today! Without Peyton this blog would not be in existence. So lets all take a moment and wish Peyton a Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday Peyton! 5 years ago today I walked into an operating room and was put under general anesthesia (i got to go to sleep to have my kid!). A few hours later I woke up in a recovery room. A little while after that I was wheeled into the room where Peyton was waiting for me. To be honest I was so drugged up I really didn't ...
