As many of you know, the first edition of my book was dedicated to my friend Renata. We “baby bjorned” our way through the parks with our babies together.

Easter and Passover are fast approaching and while chocolate bunnies and jelly beans have their place, this is a great time for the whole family to connect, and what better way to do so than with some fantastic preschool games!

Cinderella review for families with young children
March 13, 2015 in All Posts, Disney entertainment, movies
“Cinderella” opens in wide release across the U.S. this weekend and after seeing it twice, I can honestly tell you that it is a dose of family magic not to be missed. I think it is fair to say that virtually every Disney fan regards Walt Disney’s original 1950 “Cinderella” to be one of the greatest fairy tales to ever grace the silver screen. It is everything a fairy tale should be–romance (even if it is antiquated by today’s standards), a beautiful ball gown, gorgeous hand-drawn animation and so much more. When a live action “Cinderella” was announced I...
Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast Movie Review

Tinker Bell and her fairy friends are a huge hit in my house. For my daughter no trip to the Disneyland Resort is complete without a trip to Pixie Hollow and some quality time with her favorite Fairies. When we are home we frequently watch the other movies in the Disney Fairy franchise, “Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue” being our most watched. All five, now six, of the movies are entertaining and have such great messages, so I was really excited to surprise Emma with the newest release “Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast” for our most...
