DIY Magical Color Swirling Playdough Powder for Your Little Charmers
Have you heard of the Little Charmers? In my house, they are kind of a big deal! Hazel, Posey and Lavender are three best friends and “charmers-in-training” in the land of Charmville.

Themed Movie Night with Avengers: Age of Ultron
It has been far too long since we have had a family movie night with themed treats and games.

The Hundred-Foot Journey. My favorite Movie of the Year
Seldom does a movie offer all the elements I enjoy or look for on the silver screen. And seldom is there a movie that bears viewing on repeated occasions. The Hundred-Foot Journey released this year by Disney fits the bill on both accounts. I LOVED this movie and will watch it many, many times. The […]
The Theory of Everything is Moving, Emotional and Funny
