Peyton instantly fell in love with Moana when we saw it back in November. Pua stole her heart. Peyton was so enamored with Moana that when I surprised with a vacation to Disney World (a few days after we had seen the movie) she couldn't wait to see if Moana would be there! And guess what, she was. And we got to meet her!! Starting February 21st, Moana will be available for digital downloads. Oh, I can not wait until Tuesday!! We will be streaming Moana after school. And I'm sure we'll watch ...

Queen of Katwe Now Available!
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 ...
Bring Home Pete’s Dragon for the Holidays
Earlier this year I took Peyton to see Pete's Dragon in the theater. It was a pretty emotional film, for both of us. I was concerned this would turn Peyton off but it didn't. Pete's Dragon is full of emotional scenes that engage the audience. Within the first 30 seconds, we were both engrossed in the film. I will admit, the first 10 minutes or so are pretty intense. As a parent, I was moved by the opening scene. We see Pete and his family on a road trip and Pete is reading to his mother. Such a ...
Moana is Now in Theaters!
Peyton and I have been anxiously awaiting the release of Moana. The wait is OVER! Moana opened nationwide today at theaters everywhere. We were fortunate enough to have seen the movie last week and I have been dying to share our thoughts with you. But I couldn't, until today. Moana is awesome! Peyton gave it two thumbs up. I do have one warning, this is a longer movie. I believe it runs just shy of 2 hours. So with that being said, be sure your child can sit through it. And you may want to ...
Venture Behind the Scenes with “The Way to Moana”
Who is excited that in less than 2 weeks Moana will be hitting the big screen? We are! In fact, Peyton and I will be in Disney World a few days after the release of Moana and we are hoping we can meet her! I’m really excited to see Moana. When I visited Hawaii I fell in love with the islands, the people and the culture. My dream is to take Peyton to Hawaii so she can experience it for herself. Moana is the 16-year-old daughter of the chief of Motunui. She's a strong willed young lady that ...
