Charlize Theron in Tully will pull at your heartstrings – out in theaters May 4th.
Two weeks ago I was invited to a “Moms Night Out” party hosted by Refinery 29 and Focus Features and early screening of Tully – a new comedy from Academy Award®-nominated director Jason Reitman (“Up in the Air”) and Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (“Juno”). Marlo (Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron) by Focus Features. Charlize plays a mother of three including a newborn and is gifted a night nanny by her brother (Mark Duplass).

The Importance of Finding “Down Time”
#MomSneak. America has spoken: 97% of moms say that they had more time for themselves before motherhood, and now, three-quarters (71%) of moms admit to sneaking in TV “me-time” while juggling a busy schedule, with some even hiding from their kids for just a moment of peace. With moms doing it anywhere and everywhere in the neighborhood when the kids aren’t around, sneaking is the new bingeing. Luckily, my husband is pretty good about knowing when I need a little alone downtime and let’s me go catch a show or two with no distractions. He’ll usually take our daughter to the pool while I catch a new movie or show on…

When You Know Better, Do Better ~ Maya Angelou
“Friends… they cherish one another’s hopes. They are kind to one another’s dreams.” ~ Henry David Thoreau The holiday season is upon us! I don’t know about you, but the holidays have snuck up on me and we still need to get the tree (and decorate it) and buy some presents! We’ve really have cut back over the years on gift giving and focus more on spending time with friends and family. Of course the kids will get presents but what really leaves a lasting impression is the time you spend with those you care about. It got me thinking about the people in my life who have…
