What if Man and Giant Dinosaurs lived side by side?
My daughter and I were super excited to see a preview of The Good Dinosaur at The TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood a few weeks back. I love the concept the movies asks: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? I am such a fan of stories that show our world differently. And what a fun story The Good Dinosaur is for kids and big kids. Check out some of fun clips from the movie: Pixar Animation Studios takes you on an epic journey into the world of dinosaurs where an Apatosaurus named Arlo (voice of Raymond Ochoa) makes…

PBS Kids Nature Cat Encourages Outdoor Exploration
Last May at the PBS annual meeting we heard about a new PBS Kids show called Nature Cat that premieres tomorrow November 25th, after the first hour-long WILD KRATTS holiday special, “Creature Christmas.” Nature Cat is geared towards children ages 3-8 and is designed to encourage children to explore and develop connections with the natural world. The show was created by the very talented Rudman brothers, David Rudman (“Cookie Monster” and “Baby Bear” on Sesame Street; “Scooter” and “Janice” on The Muppets) and Adam Rudman (Tom & Jerry, Sesame Street, Cyberchase). We had a chance to speak to them at the PBS annual meeting and they spoke about how much…

The Peanuts Movie Brings Back Memories
Ever since I’ve seen a preview for The Peanuts movie at a Knott’s Berry Farm event last year, I have been on the edge of my seat waiting to see this movie. I absolutely LOVE the entire crew and use to carry around a stuffed Snoopy as a kid. Because of my fascination with all things Peanuts, I’ve interviewed and featured Charles M. Schulz wife and his son Craig (who shared with me that he was the inspiration for Pigpen – shhh!). He shared this with me after I told him our (secret) nickname for my daughter is Pigpen. At pickup at school she usually looks like she rolled around in the dirt…

Prana Clothing Provides the Freedom to #JustBeYou
Since before the dawn of time, moms have enjoyed their athletic wear. Sounds like the opening of a rather interesting story. I’m kidding, but truthfully, on those days you just don’t have time to get dressed up or feel like it, there is nothing better than a comfortable but stylish outfit. I have tried so many different athletic brands over the years and the one I keep coming back to is Prana. Prana offers clothing that is comfortable for any type of lifestyle and activity. I really like the sweaters they offer and wore my last one until it was a ball of yarn. You could say it was a very…

The PicCollage App and HP Help Create Memories
Last year I heard from a friend who is pretty tech savvy about this really cool app that lets you create fun collages from your photographs. I was looking for an easy way to create cards and quotes from photographs I had taken. The PicCollage app is really easy to use and this is coming from someone not particularly that tech savvy! I made this one from a day at the beach. There are over 100 million people who use PicCollage to combine photos, Youtube videos, funky fonts, sassy stickers and cute cutouts to create the prettiest collages you’ll ever see on a mobile device. They have stickers from Sanrio and LA-based independent designer, Sara…
