From Disney and visionary director Tim Burton, the all-new grand live-action adventure DUMBO expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight.  Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland.  Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.

Avatar - The Last Airbender: The Complete Series is one series the ENTIRE Three Boys and an Old Lady family enjoys watching.  I remember my nephews watching the series when it debuted back in the day and at some point it became one of my favorite series as well. Aang is a character whose innocence draws viewers in.  He is a paradox of sorts.  Young but wise.  Weak but strong.  Timid, yet fearless 12-year-old Aang is back with the long-awaited Blu-ray release of Avatar - The Last Airbender: The Complete Series. This summer, every episode from this fan-favorite show will be available on Blu-ray with over 24-hours of element-bending fun!

Join Katara and Sokka, siblings and members of the Water Tribe, as they help Aang master the four elements needed to become the Avatar - master of water, earth, fire and air!...

I Can Only Imagine  is one of my favorite songs of faith.  The song holds a special place in my heart as Hubby and I had moved cross country around the time it was released.  I was going through a period of adjustment in my life and the song helped me through. The lyrics seemed to resonate with so many others as the song topped charts for nearly 2 decades, yes 20 years.  The song has been recorded by contemporary artists, country artists and most recently by gospel award winning artist, Tamela Mann. Few songs make the transition to the big screen but I Can Only Imagine  did just that in the Spring of 2018.  Box Office Mojo said the film is the 3rd top grossing music biopic of all time earning over $80 million since it's March 2018 release. Now the song has been made into a picture book for the kiddos. I Can Only Imagine: "A Friendship with Jesus Now and Forever ."      Book Description Encourage your children’s sense of won...

Last month I received the book Isosceles' Day to review as part of our Bedtime for Babies book review. I am so excited to have the opportunity to share a guest post from the author of the book, Kevin Meehan.  Isosceles' Day is the first children's book for this author and we really enjoyed the book and look forward to sharing with our youth reading group this Summer.  With the eyes of a child we learn how to see! The concept for Isosceles' Day is based upon the innocence we humans frequently have as children; often lost as we become educated adults. I wanted to capture the essence of seeing animal's possible interactions removed from our common sense of reality. Instead of a linear story traditionally told, I introduced silly, fun, whimsical behaviors and interactions of our domesticated pets with unusual friends not normally seen in an ordinary story. Shaking up reality in a fanciful, untraditional way. I feel that in many ways I was able to achieve this;...

Graceland is a mecca for Elvis fans like my sister.  Ticket sales from Graceland are the primary reason Elvis ranks high on the list of top earning celebrities who've passed.  I think Michael is the only celebrity who outranks Elvis' earnings.   A few blocks from Graceland on a quiet street in Memphis sits a small 4-bedroom, 2-bath ranch style home.  Elvis bought the home in 1956 when he was just 22 years old.  I surprised my sister with a visit to his home on Audobon Street a few years ago.  She was so surprised as she'd only visited Graceland and had no idea about this lesser known Elvis Must See.  This year, we added another notch on our Elvis Sites with a stop in Tupelo, Mississippi to visit Elvis' birthplace. Elvis' father, grandfather and uncle built the small, two room house where Elvis and his twin brother were born.   The Elvis Birthplace features a replica of the home, the family's church and even a car like th...
