Movies/TV

I’ve been crushing on a Netflix originals show and telling everyone IRL to watch. It’s got bad language, and it is completely inappropriate at times, (okay, a lot of the time) and that typically would make it flag it as “not suitable” for…

Harry Potter fans, lean in. We have to discuss Leaky Con, a Harry Potter fan convention. Leaky Con is a huge extremely well-organized experience of all things from J.K. Rowling’s world of wizards. There are discussion panels, autograph and…

Usually when a movie sticks with me, it’s because I really liked it. I wish I could say that about Disney’s Wrinkle in Time (see official trailer below) but I really didn’t like it. I mean, the costumes, yes. Interesting. Make-up,…

Oh girl. Go grab a friend and see the new movie, Forever My Girl with Alex Roe and Jessica Rothe. It opens January 19th. Based on the Forever My Girl (The Beaumont Series) (Volume 1)">book by same name, author Heidi McLaughlin, this…

I’m a bit of a Paddington junkie. I still have all my Paddington books from when I was a kid. Reading the best-selling and internationally adored books by Michael Bond with my Dad is a memory I super cherish: we would laugh at that…

This time of year you can easily dial up any number of versions of the Charles Dickens famous tale, The Night Before Christmas, everything from painful pop and SNL versions to Mickey Mouse and (my favorite imitation) the Muppets.…

Perot girls are super excited that the My Little Pony the MOVIE is being released this week! I really have to believe that Ponyville is a magical place that we all want to esacape to now and then, and to think that a dark force may…

If you like movies that are dark and twisted, that make you uncomfortable and a little disturbed, I have the perfect suggestion for you! There's a new period drama hitting sneaking into theaters called Lady Macbeth. I caution you though,…

Part of what makes blogging so fun, is the other bloggers you meet and develop friendships with. They are an amazeballs group of women with some really cool content and tons of creativity. Check out this roundup of our squad! (Thanks…

I know you’re getting ready to hit the road for the holiday – so I have a suggestion for your sanity. The new Shopkins Chef Club movie would be a great way for your little girl to spend some screen time, and actually learn a good…

This came across my desk and I thought I'd pass it along. The 32nd annual KidFilm® Festival is headed to the Angelika Film Center, 5321 E. Mockingbird Lane, Dallas this weekend January 23-24, and it really sounds fantastic. KidFilm is…

England. Oh, how we heart England in our house. My love for the Brits began well before our recent summer vacation. It predates my obsession with Downton Abbey. It started long before my Brit-born husband swept me off my feet. In…

Like many parents who have been intrigued by the Maleficent trailers, I couldn't wait to see the summer blockbuster from Disney. Even the hubs wanted to see it and I’m sure Angelina Jolie had nothing to do with his interest in the movie. :)…

I don’t know when it’s going to happen, but one day I’m going to be able to use the potty without my entourage of 6 year olds: two pugs and one child. (Lest we forget my pseudo-6 year old hubs who thinks it’s hilarious to bang on the door…
