A few months back, Amy and I got the chance to preview the film, Gnomeo and Juliet from Disney Pictures. It's about Garden Gnomes in an ill-fated romance. Yes. Garden Gnomes. In love. I just love the wonderful absurdity of the entire premise. Amy Kikita and I actually got to see it in theaters a few months back and while we were a bit tense ...

A Pirate’s Life for….you? – A Cool Giveaway
You know how much I love All-things-Disney. And can I just tell you how ready I am for summer? Not just because I'll have lots of down time (yay!), but also because summer is Blockbuster Movie Season. Am I right? First movie on my List of Blockbuster Movies I'm Looking Forward To: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES which will ...
Beauty and The Grid
When Amy was about 12, we had the opportunity to see Beauty and the Beast (the stage show) at the Music Center in Los Angeles. (At that time, Lucy was only 2, but that's not important right now.) I remember the show being so breathtakingly beautiful. And I remember my surprise that the Disney animated film could translate so perfectly to the ...
Hello, December.
I love going to new places and trying new things. I also love going to old places and doing thing I've done before, but that's not important right now. ;-) When December rolls around, I always look forward to having holiday-type experiences. Sometimes those include plays or movies or Disney Magic. But yesterday, I had the happy privilege ...

TANGLED – A Giveaway.
All four of my kids are grown now, but it wasn't too long ago that we religiously made plans to watch whatever new Disney offering was available. In fact, we haven't missed a Disney film yet. You know that we love All Things Disney (especially Disneyland, see my Disney Scavenger Hunt as proof). That love affair started for me when I was ...
Homeschool lesson #247 – How to Promenade in style
Lucy was in 4th grade and Jonathan was in 1st when I started homeschooling them. Believe it or not, even back then, when people found out we were homeschooling them and that we intended to do so for as long as necessary, some would very sincerely ask: "What about prom?" Yes. They did. I don't think it ever crossed any of the ...
Today. April 26, 2010.
(Inspired by TheSimple Woman's Daybook.) I usually do this every six months or so, just to kind of "take the temperature" of where my life is at the time. I encourage you to do the same. It's a wonderful way to celebrate the extraordinarily ordinary lives we lead. Outside my window... a dozen birds are scrambling for the ...
Kikita and The Unseen Cuba
The following post was written by Kikita; who has recently returned from a trip to Cuba with her 96 year old grandmother.Every day that I was in Cuba, I would get home to Tio Timbiriche's after a long day of adventuring and the question "Los Viejos" would ask me was always the same, "What did you see?" And every day I ...
