Mummies: Secrets from the Tomb
I love history. And my children are quite interested in happenings of the past, too, so it’s turning out that we make a pretty good team of explorers. So this year as part of our social studies, I purchased the Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer. Story of the World comes in four volumes: Ancient Times, The Middle Ages, Early Modern Times, and the Modern Age. We started at the beginning with Ancient times and kicked things off with cavemen. Recently though, we’ve been finishing up our lessons about Ancient Egypt and the Pharaohs. I happened to check the website for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles…

THE FINEST HOURS Highlights Americans Can-Do Spirit and Bravery
Since I first saw the previews for THE FINEST HOURS I have been counting the months until it premieres. I really like all the actors involved – what’s not to like about Eric Bana, Chris Pine, Casey Affleck and Ben Foster? All the stars and supporting cast do a wonderful job of bring these heroic story to life. You’ll recognize Holliday Grainger from Cinderella (she plays one of the evil stepsisters) but is so adorable and feisty in THE FINEST HOURS you can’t help but root for her. Film Clip: “Listen Up” My husband and I had a chance to check out an early screening of the movie last night and I am…

Becoming an Active Participant in Your Health
With the start of the new year my health was at the top of my mind. I have been so busy taking care of my family, work and all the other activities that us moms find ourselves filled to the brim with each week that I realized that I wasn’t taking very good care of my health. You know how it is, we tell ourselves that we just don’t have the time to exercise regularly and will sometimes grab a snack or meal that we don’t normally include in our diet. I know with all the events I attend with work we are constantly enticed with delicious yet fattening foods. But I wanted to be an…
