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? …

There is so much about this time of year that I love! One of my favorite parts of the year-end hustle and bustle is all of the movie releases! I don’t know about you, but this summer seemed to be a lackluster summer when it came to movies. This time of year though? I’m not sure …
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. This movie did a brilliant job portraying the work, the planning, and the ingenuity behind an activist movement. There was an honest depiction of the brutalities the …
Into the Woods is a perfect family movie! I was lucky enough to be invited to an advanced screening of this Disney soon-to-be classic, and I can say that Sophia and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie! This is a clever story that entwines four Grimm’s fairytales into one tale full of witty one-liners and fanciful lyrics. Who …
