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…

How to Tackle the “5 More Minutes” Bedtime Routine
Do you kids like to stall at bedtime? I think our daughter is the queen of stalling! Just the other night she threw a fit saying that I didn’t believe she was a big girl because I was making her go to bed before 8:30 (her usual bedtime). But she had been sick all week so thought it might be good idea. Wrong. So what do your kids say? That their eyelids hurt? They’ll die of thirst without more water? Mine usually throws out that she is hungry for a snack before bedtime. It’s like a big deja-vu when your own kid starts rattling off the same bedtime excuses you used back in…

Creating Childhood Memories – Invest in Experiences, Not Things
What do you remember most about your childhood? What experiences stand out the most? Have you ever seen, heard, smelled, or felt something as an adult that brought you back in time – a memory so vivid that you could swear you were a child again, if only for an instant? For me, the fondest and most vivid memories of my childhood were created during years of camping trips with my family. I can remember in great detail the excitement of packing up the van and trailer, my dad, free from his work clothes and stress, laughing and joking as he drove, and the sounds of “Take Me Home,…

Family Is What You Make It!
Families. Today, we are seeing all types of families and they are starting to look less like The Cleavers! What we see today has evolved into a vast range of possibilities. Our family consists of in-laws, cousins, sister-in-laws, with a few adorable kids thrown in as well. And since we celebrate both Christian and Jewish holidays we can be found honoring both religions around the holidays with Passover, Easter, Christmas and Hanukah. This makes for a pretty busy holiday season but I wouldn’t want to trade it with anything else! I just love that my daughter is gaining an understanding of our family traditions. Through the years, I have…

Putting the HAHAHA in the HOHOHO
Image courtesy of Flickr It’s December (very much so) and my tree’s up but there’s nothing under it. Unless you count the tree skirt … does that count? And yes, you read that right: nothing under it! I always put a lot of thought into what I get every one. I want them to go “wow, just what I needed” or “I love it” so I do a lot of looking and window shopping [procrastinating]. What happens each and every year and seems to get later and later (pretty soon I’ll be out with all the men on Christmas Eve scurrying … oh who am I fooling I usually am out *lol*).…

All I want for Christmas is…
SWEETS! And even more and more and more! “Don’t want a doll! No dinky tinker toy!”* I want chocolate, cakes, brownies, fudge, and the like! Oh, I’d also really enjoy it more if I did not gain any weight too! Well, the first part of that “want” is relatively easy … the second part is a no.can.do as I gain just looking at these marvelous creations. So without wasting any more of your time, and because I’m starving (wanting to lick spoons and bowls really bad) I’ve listed some favorites I’ve run across that you can share with friends/family and even make as gifts this holiday. Enjoy *drool* Five Minute Fudge Wreath from Tidy…
