Sarah’s Choice Movie Review

Sarahs Choice is essentially the story of every girl. Every girl finds herself facing tough decisions regarding love, morals, and right and wrong, and Sarah, young career girl on the fast track to becoming very successful, is facing the toughest decision of all. Shes pregnant, unmarried but living with her boyfriend who may or may not be serious about her, and is certainly not ready to be a mom. Her Christian mother and sister want her to keep the child. Her physician says its not a child and that if she cannot provide a good home, she should move forward with abortion. With pressures on all sides, Sarah can hardly think for herself. Her boyfriend doesnt seem to be thinking at all. Then she starts having dreams dreams about herself and a child and she starts to wonder if the dreams could possibly be from God. The question is, can…

Scholastic’s Storybook Treasures DVDs: The Night Before Christmas AND Animal Antics

Storybook Treasures: The Night Before Christmas I love the holidays, dont you? And the holiday DVDs you can unpack from your Christmas boxes and watch every night of December (and maybe even November! lol). Before my daughter was born, I had only collected movies for adults like Miracle on 34th Street, Its a Wonderful Life, and The Santa Clause. Now Ive begun my collection of childrens DVDs and Im having a blast doing it! One of my favorites comes from Scholastic Storybook Treasures. As you can tell from the few Christmas movies for adults I mentioned I have in my collection, Im someone who truly appreciates classics. I love classic movies, classic books, and classic storybooks for children, so the Storybook Treasures The Night Before Christmas and other classic holiday tales DVD set totally appealed to me! This two-DVD set includes all of the following classic storybooks read aloud with…

Jessie Steele Vintage Aprons Review

Its amazing what a nice-looking apron can do for your happiness level when youre baking. A cute apron can make all the difference, and suddenly work isnt so much work anymore. After all, did Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy hate to cook? She never complained that I know of. Im sure it had something to do with the dress, high heels, and cute apron. 😉 Shes brave to cook in that dress without a full apron. I would have whatever shes stirring all over me! lol Jessie Steele specializes in high-quality, fashionable vintage hostess aprons in a variety of styles and colors. They also have chefs aprons, childrens aprons, and even salon aprons (how cool is that?) along with coordinating oven mitts, potmitts, and tea towels. Jessie Steele is a truly wonderful place to find a gift for that special someone. Namely, yourself. 😉 Thanks to Jessie Steele, I…

An easy way to make Christmas cookies with your kids…

I just discovered For the Love of Cooking, a blog of simple recipes, and Im loving it! I subscribed right away. This sugar cookie recipe looks SO easy and would be perfect for making cookies with little ones! She used this cookie sheet to cut down on prep time.

I must find out where I can get one of these cookie sheets Photos from For the Love of Cooking Im shopping at

Growing Tree Toys ♥ Melissa and Doug Slice and Bake Cookie Set Review

Little girls love to copy mommy, dont they? Until I had my own little girl, I had no idea how it felt to be mimicked and echoed. Its a good feeling, isnt it? (Most of the time, lol) I especially love to include my little one in the kitchen. Shes too young to understand that shes not to touch the hot stove or oven, so I have to be extra careful, but she does have her own mini wooden kitchen and she likes to cook there while Im cooking and baking. I think one of the reasons that play food and play kitchens are so popular is because its a childs way of copying mommy and practicing for the future. I like to encourage that, so Im always on the lookout for quality educational toys for my little one. Kids dont need a ton of toys, but what they do…

Harry Potter Years 1 and 2 Blu-Ray Giveaway {Closed}

I am a true Harry Potter fan. I have read all of the books (SO well-written!) and I own every movie on DVD. But I didnt always love this boy wizard so after seeing the first movie I was a bit disappointed. I had expected more after all of the hype so for awhile I didnt follow the Harry Potter craze. Then the fourth movie released in theatres, and my sister-in-law asked me to go to the movie with her. I agreed, but wasnt expecting much. I thought it would be a kiddie show. That day, I never thought of Harry Potter like that again I was awe-struck! Dragons, magic flying cars, normal-appearing kids with magical abilities and oh-so-cute English accents, and characters that you cared about right away. Oh, and of course the evil, extremely complex Voldemort that wants to destroy all that is good. I read the books,…
