    These days we are spending so much more time in our homes that it’s inevitable at some points we resort to curling up on a sofa to watch Netflix. I have teens, so over the last seven months we have often looked at each other and said Netflix? So, we thought we’d share some recommendations for Netflix Series to Watch with Your Teen Now. Sometimes we all feel like binge watching something…and off we go often to the family room in the basement to queue up the next in a series. It’s actually something I enjoy on cold days when…

    Time to Stop Smoking in Movies Now

    September 12, 2018 - By 

    I have partnered with YMC and Region of Peel and have received compensation for this post. All opinions are my own.  Smoking in movies has been irksome to me for years. It’s so very unnecessary and irresponsible. I am a drama Mom. Both of my girls act and have for years with a local youth theatre troupe. It’s an amazing emotional outlet and youth development program. So I know all about character and plot devices and that smoking has traditionally been used as a character tool, but here’s the thing. It doesn’t have to be. I’ve seen many of the…

    The Gift of Family Entertainment – Road to Avonlea Boxed Set #TMMGG2015

    December 6, 2015 - By 

    When this Road to Avonlea boxed gift set arrived well let’s just say it hit a vein that’s rich with nostalgia. As a kid I was really enamoured with the entire Anne of Green Gables series of books. I consumed each one happily and couldn’t wait for the next to arrive. Back then we bought our books at Coles Books. Chapters/ Indigo wasn’t even a hint in someone’s eye yet. Anne of Green Gables was actually one of the first books I bought my daughter as an infant, not long after we adopted her, and I set it aside as…

    Inside Out Movie – Add This to Your Christmas List Now #TMMGG2015

    November 19, 2015 - By 

    Since my one daughter’s play ended, we’ve been getting back to family movie night here. That means we’ve had some enjoyable evenings snuggling together, watching highly amusing and sometimes really moving movies. One week ago we watched Max, which I highly recommend for anyone over 7 or 8. It was a great show about dogs used in war. This past weekend we watched Inside Out, which we all loved. Inside Out is a comical and really witty romp through one little girl’s mind. Do you ever wonder what’s going on in someone’s mind? Disney-Pixar’s “Inside Out” takes an exciting and…

    July 20, 2015 - By 

    This picture is a bit old now but these girls are more famous than ever I think. Famous Siblings You May Not Know It seems like we’re all obsessed with famous siblings. I know I am. Not sure why exactly, but I think it’s because it’s nice to see a family connection with celebrities. They feel more real, I think. We all know about Chloe and Kim, the Olsen twins, and the Jonas brothers, but here are some famous siblings and their lesser known siblings you might not know about. Famous Siblings and Their not so Famous Counterparts In these sibling…

It highlights the emotions battling inside a little girl, Riley’s head and body after she is forced to move with her family to San Francisco. Inside Out features some amazing voice actors such as Amy Poehler as Joy. Have you seen Inside Out Yet yet? It’s such a funny and well done movie about the complex…
