 While I was growing up, I can remember watching all of the Charlie Brown holiday movies at my grandparents house. They would come on television, and we would plan sleepovers with my Maw and Paw.

My favorite is It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, closely followed by A Charlie Brown Christmas. I have several Peanuts stuffed animals, and I still have a large Peanuts book from the 70’s (it belonged to my mom). I’ve been excited about sharing my Peanuts memories with son, who’s equally excited about watching The Peanuts Movie. I created a Peanuts themed holiday party for Fandango, and I’m sharing one of my favorite recipes from the party here, Peppermint Patty Cookies.

The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show

October 9, 2015

Gabe absolutely loved the film Mr. Peabody & Sherman, and we were so excited to learn about the release of a new animated series on Netflix The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show. He was so amused by the idea of having a talking dog parent. He and I can’t wait to see what Mr. Peabody and Sherman get into this season. The series premieres today, and I’m sharing a clip with a little more information about it below. But first, as you can probably guess, we absolutely love getting together as a family to watch shows and movies on Netflix. However, did you know that some shows and movies are geographically restricted? This means that depending on your location, there are some shows and movies that you cannot watch through the conventional methods. That being said, where there is a will there is a way and therefore if you would like to watch something on Netflix that has been geographically restricted, you can bypass these restrictions by using a VPN such as SurfShark. But what exactly is a VPN? And how does a VPN work? You can read more about SurfShark and other VPNs by doing some research online. For now, though, let us discuss The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show.

Have You Awakened?: Force Friday

September 4, 2015

When I was a young girl, my now late brother Brandon and I dressed up as Luke and Leia not once, but twice. A few years ago, I dressed my son up as Luke for Halloween. It was bittersweet; he looked a lot like my brother did when he was dressed up as Luke. When I was his age I knew that I wanted an Ewok as a pet, and I wanted to grow up to be as pretty as Princess Leia. I’m so excited about STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, and its release to theaters on December 18th: just 3 days after what would have been Brandon’s 34th birthday. I have lots of fond Star Wars Memories, including my brother pretending to be a Dark Sith Lord and whacking me in the head with a tomato stake playing “light sabers.” Has the Force awakened any memories for you? Today is Force Friday, and some fantastically fun Star Wars merchandise has hit retailers’ shelves. You can read more about it in the press release below.

This is a sponsored post, however all thoughts and options are entirely my own.

Starting tomorrow, August 14th you can meet Bianca and her buddy Bob the Bear on Amazon’s newest original kids’ series Wishenpoof. Bianca and her mother have magical wishing powers that allow them to “Wishenpoof”. Gabe and I had the opportunity to preview the first season, and he was immediately captivated. Today, I’m sharing his thoughts on the new series and why I think Wishenpoof should be your child’s watch list. Remember: Wishenpoof is free for Prime members through Amazon Prime.
