Star Wars The Last Jedi
There are NO SPOILERS ahead! The Husband and I were invited to an advanced screening of Star Wars The Last Jedi. I am a fan of the Star Wars movies; not the stand in line overnight to be the first one to see the movie, but I do enjoy them. The Husband however, if someone will give him the keys to an X-Wing Fighter he would leave me in a millisecond and may never come out of the sky!! He has to see new installments the weekend they hit the screen. There is no line too long. Overall opinions The Husband: It was a good action packed movie with great…

We Are Safe!
We are safe for now. The Lilac Fire is the one closest to my house is now 60% contained. So, hopefully by morning…….. Although it is HOT and dry here and WINDY as all get out. But, better. I will take better. However, my cold has taken a drastic turn for the worse! Seriously, I didn’t think it could get worse. I was wrong. I’ll be back.

Preventing Family Weight Gain This Winter!
Ah winter. The fresh air, chilled, crisp wind, occasional snow. All you want to do is cuddle up with your family in front of the fireplace with a big blanket with bowls of buttered popcorn and a fun series flowing one after the other on Netflix.

It’s so easy for the whole family to put on weight during the winter because, well, it’s not that great stepping out into the chilly weather. Big hearty stews, extra large pizzas, macaroni-and-cheese. That’s what winter is about right?…

Back to smelling smoke and white skies everywhere. It’s still 90 degrees outside and REALLY dry. So the car is still packed and we are glued to the tv. Mostly I want a nap. I hope you are…

Build-A-Bot Bunny Is HERE!
I absolutely love toys that encourage creativity and mix in learning as well as direction following. Build-A-Bot does just that. Like most parents and grandparents our favorite toys to buy are the challenging ones. Something super easy and most kids, including Alice lose interest. Build-a-Bot buddies are so cute! Not only cute, but your kids build it!! Build it and watch it come to life! From Bee Bots to Bunny Bots. It’s a home run! The Build-a-Bot box has a note on the bottom that says: 5 to 7 may need help. 8 to 10 can assemble the robot on their own. We found that to be very true. 6-year-old…
