If you’re a parent, you know how precious (and rare) date nights with your spouse can be. The last date my husband and I went on was in November… we even took a snapshot of us at the restaurant and captioned it with “Date Night 2012″! So, I was happy to break that dry spell with an outing to see an advance screening of The Lone Ranger on … [Read more...]

Kids Can Explore The World With Netflix
Ever since they were little, my kids have been consistently exposed to arts and culture. I vividly remember my son, at the age of 2, asking "Go to ROM?" at least twice every week! We've been fortunate to have memberships to both the Royal Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario for many years, and love going to see old favourites (the … [Read more...]
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Wasn’t What I Expected {Review}
My kids are big fans of superhero movies, and when they asked to watch Guardians of the Galaxy during family movie night a few months ago, I reluctantly agreed.

Ahhh...Netflix. It has been my family's go-to for family movie night since 2015. My kids love Netflix for all of their favourite animated shows (Danger Mouse, Project MC2, Dragons: Race to the Edge), but for me it was always about the movies.

Some of the items were sent to us for review, but many were not; they are all featured here because I think they're FAB! There's something on my list for … [Read more...]
Disney • Pixar’s Inside Out Makes The Perfect Holiday Gift
Joy. Sadness. Disgust. Fear. Anger. These are the emotions that play starring roles in one of the year's best family movies - Inside Out. I reviewed the movie when it first came out, and I can tell you that it's just as good the second (and third!) time around. The geniuses at Disney • Pixar managed to make a movie that appeals to both … [Read more...]
Dreams Do Come True #DisneySMMC
As a little girl, my favourite tradition was family movie night. That was the special time each week when I became a princess, pirate or fairy and got transported to a far off land; when I imagined myself flying over rooftops or spirited away to a grand ball by a pumpkin carriage. No matter what else was going on in my life - no matter what … [Read more...]
