Brave Beginnings : Helping Preemies Thrive
It seems like most women I know either had a tough pregnancy or difficult birthing experience. Luckily, my pregnancy was pretty easy though I had to go in to the doctor’s office every other week for the first two trimesters because I was considered “high-risk” due to my age (anyone over 35 years of age is placed in this category). However, the delivery was anything but and between hemorrhaging due to a torn placenta and emergency C-section it was a tough ordeal. Because of the torn placenta and severe bleeding, my daughter was immediately taken to NICU for monitoring. I would go visit her in the NICU and most of the babies…

Meet Vivian Howard from “A Chef’s Life”
Have you ever dreamed of selling everything and moving to a slower-paced town? I have to be honest, we have entertained that idea a couple times! It always gets back to what type of work would we do! I’d love to have a farm where we grow our own food – but let’s be realistic here, I don’t know if I am cut out for that. But one woman, Chef Vivian Howard surely is! I love her story and think you will too – along with the tasty okra recipe she shared with us!

Poster Revealed Today to Kick Off Countdown to Trailer Release Tickets to Star Wars: The Force Awakens Go on Sale Everywhere Following the Trailer Launch Star Wars was the first movie I remember watching as a kid. I remember we arrived late to the theater and the only seats available were at the very front so our family grab the last few seats and literally had front-row seats. At the age of eight my love of Sci-Fi/Fantasy had begun! My little brain was blown-away by the movie and all the cool weapons and flying cars! I SO wanted a hover craft! I love sharing the classic Star War movies with…

You could tell how much he cared for Robin when he told stories about making the movie. Here are some of our favorite parts of the interview. Mr. Goldberg said that they tried several different styles for…

Disney’s Zootopia – New Poster Now Available!
ZOOTOPIA My daughter and I love to head to the latest movies and have seen the preview for Zootopia a couple times and can’t wait to see it once it comes out next March! The story is about a melting pot of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, where animals from every environment live together – a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. What a great message! The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the…
