It’s no secret that there is a big screen version in the works of the popular little blue 80’s tv characters known as The Smurfs. I haven’t heard much buzz about this, just enough to know that it’s in development. I don’t know if it’s going to be live action, CGI-enhanced, or 3D (though I […]

If you are a news junkie like me, then you will love this website – there are maps of the whole world, broken down into sections. You click on dots on the map, and you can see the front page of the newspaper for that region. In many cases, you can get the pdf file

As I’ve mentioned before, I belong to a Christian moms’ group called MOPs (Mothers Of Preschoolers), and I enjoy our monthly meetings immensely. Every month, we receive a handout with a little essay that contains advice or words of wisdom from one mom to the rest of us. I found this month’s article beautiful and

This is a sad post for me to write – a veteran trainer, Dawn Brancheau, was killed yesterday by an Orca whale at Sea World in Orlando, Florida. Reports of the incident have been conflicting, but it seems that the trainer was pulled into the tank when the giant sea mammal grabbed her ponytail. She

This one is for fellow Disney fanatics – I just read an article about the return to Disneyland of the 17-minute Michael Jackson 3D video, Captain EO. I never got to see Captain EO; my first time to Disney World was in 1992, and the attraction was either broken down during that visit or we
