This morning I watched the announcements of the Oscar nominees on television. With the announcements coming at 5:30 a.m. out of Beverly Hills, CA, it is an early morning for the announcers. That is for sure. I admit this has not been a successful year for me to get to the movies – I have …
I have never been a huge Disney princess fan, but there is something different abut Belle. Maybe because she is so not your typical princess, preferring books over boys and willing to befriend a beast, unafraid of adventure and ready to set out into the unknown. Belle is one Disney princess that I admire! And …
We thoroughly enjoyed watching the Oscars last night. From the opening song, Can’t Stop the Feeling, to the ending snafu of naming the wrong film for best picture – the night was another classic for the books. This one will go down in the history books as being the first time ever that a wrong …
The Oscars will be here in just a few short days, and I am busy planning my party menu. I have not seen all of the movies that are up for best picture yet. I just have two more to see, and I plan on watching them by Sunday afternoon. The ones that I have seen? …

Last night my husband and I went out for a celebratory dinner. We were celebrating all of his hard work over the last three years of working on Verizon’s go90 mobile video app. There are currently over 8,000 tittles that can be watched, and they are adding more everyday. I have downloaded the app and …
I am back to work today. Officially. I have three days of in-service (lots of meetings) and on Thursday I will be welcoming 66 students throughout the day to my classroom. All year I try my best to inspire preteens to love reading, writing, social studies, and learning. It is fun, it is hard work, and …
Being a blogger has a few lucky perks – one of them being that sometimes I get invited to see a movie before it is opened to the general public. Well lucky me, I got to see the new Marvel film, Ant-Man last night. And let me tell you, I really, really, really liked this …
Last night we watched the movie Selma, the story of Martin Luther King, Jr. leading a campaign for the black Americans to acquire equal voting rights in America.
