From yourself to the kids we’ve found some great gift ideas that will make it just in time. Phew! There’s Nothing On! Do you still hear that? Is that an obsolete phrase now? If not, it should be and will be with a streaming media stick. If you’ve not taken the plunge (to cut the cable/or at least downsize to the basics) now is the perfect time to order one.

Being a Mom (What it Means to Me)
Trying to put into words what being a mom is – to me. It’s hard. I can’t explain it. It’s like a combination of feelings, words, hope, happiness, sometimes sadness and/or grief, being scared or nervous, anticipation, wonderment and awe, as if every feeling I’ve ever experienced is multiplied times a thousand and it leaves me at a loss for words. It’s not simple … yet it is. When I look at my two kids I can instantly see them as if they were just placed into my arms.

Connecting With Your Spouse
“The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” ~ Audrey Hepburn Recently, my husband and I had a heart-to-heart talk about the good and not-so-good aspects of our 20 year plus relationship. We talked about where we want to be in five years, ten years and talked about growing old together, but in any relationship, there is always room for improvement!

Marvel’s ANT-MAN Review & Giveaway
“Small is the new spectacular in this latest Marvel winner.” -Michael Sauter (Life & Style) Marvel, the Studio who brought you “The Avengers”, now brings to life one of the original Avengers — Marvel’s Ant-Man. Bring home the epic heist as Ant-man embraces his inner hero and harnesses the unique ability to shrink in scale to save not only the world, but his daughter. I have to be honest, when I first saw the previews for Ant-Man I just wasn’t sold. Like the first time I saw the previews for Turbo (the movie about fast snails) I was thinking how in the world does a small superhero type character fit…

Imba Means Music: The African Children’s Choir Experience Through the Eyes of a Child
Imba Means Sing: A Celebration of Hope Through the African Children’s Choir “‘Imba Means Sing” delivers a heartwarming song of hope for the future.” – LA Times “Vibrant, uplifting documentary” – Common Sense Media It’s pretty amazing what great things can happen if someone cares enough. Over thirty years ago, Irishman Ray Barnett traveled to Uganda and saw, with his own eyes, children displaced and left with nothing, many, orphaned, due to war and political unrest. Having come from a place where he understood what it was like to be orphaned, the experience pulled at his heartstrings. After a bit of time, he got to know some of the…
