“Snow Buddies” is a continuation of the famous Golden Retriever series that began years ago as “Air Bud” hit the media.

The pups begin at home were they all meet up and begin their daily adventure. Their curiosity leads them into an ice cream truck which … Continue reading →

Tricking Kids Into Eating Healthy

Often adults don’t give kids credit for being the intelligent little munchkins that they are. Then, out comes a study that makes you go hmmm… or DUH!… depending on how well you know kids. A few years ago researchers at the Sesame Workshop gathered a group of preschoolers to see if their taste buds could be manipulated by a bunch of sneaky grown ups. As part of the study the kids were first asked to choose between a mouthwatering chocolate bar or some pretty broccoli fresh from the garden. The results: 78% of the kids chose the candy bar while … Continue reading →

Happy Feet

Posted on by

“Happy Feet” is an animated tale of the struggles faced by a penguin. The story begins before the little penguin, Mumble, is even born. It shows the hardships that penguins go through in hatching and carrying for their eggs. The movie gives some insight on the roles carried out by the male and female penguin. These clips give some resemblance to those that can be seen in “March of the Penguins”. Right from hatching, everyone knows that Mumble is different. He hatches late and comes out dancing with his feet. Mumble’s breed of penguins is known for their heart song … Continue reading →

Eight Below

Posted on by

This is one of my all time favorites! “Eight Below” is a PG movie presented by Walt Disney Pictures. The movie revolves around Jerry, who has made his life guiding researchers through the icy continent of Antarctica. To help him with his work are his faithful sled dogs. With very little interaction with the world, Jerry is on the continent with his friends and coworkers, Katie (ex girlfriend and the pilot) and Cooper (cartographer). Jerry’s latest assignment is to take out a geologist, Dr. McLaren, in search of a rare meteorite. The catch is that the adventure is almost too … Continue reading →

Black Friday: Camping Out

Last Christmas, the Wii was at the top of all four of my children’s lists. Could they have chosen anything more difficult to obtain? I scoured and scoured ads, called stores, begged favors. Nothing worked. We got notice from a friend that WalMart would have a limited number of them for sale on a particular Tuesday. I was determined. I packed a Black Friday camping kit. A folding chair – to sit in because the ground can get hard. A sleeping bag – it was 22 degrees outside and a blanket or throw just doesn’t keep you as warm as … Continue reading →

Skiing In Japan

Oh, how soon we forget. When my brother recently informed me he was planning to spend a week snowboarding in Japan I thought, “Japan?” I’m sure he knew exactly what I was thinking because he broke the silence with, “Hello… Nagano.” Of course… Nagano. Those of you with better memories probably don’t need to be reminded that Nagano, Japan hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics. And, while they may not be as well known as the Rockies or the Alps, Japan’s powdery slopes are magnets for winter sports enthusiasts just the same. Japanese mountain villages like Niseko are becoming increasingly popular … Continue reading →

Justin and Jessica—“Just Friends”

I must admit when I heard that Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz decided to call it quits I was a bit surprised. After all, the couple had professed their “love and admiration” for each other on numerous talk shows throughout their four year courtship. Sure, there was the nine-year age difference, but they seemed (by all accounts) to be at peace with their relationship. Then came the breakup and that nasty Golden Globe post party incident. According to several entertainment magazines, the exes got into a heated argument at Prince’s Golden Globes afterparty when Diaz reportedly saw Timberlake chatting with … Continue reading →
