What Age Do You Think The Hunger Games is Appropriate For?

the-hunger-games

I thought this was a very relevant question considering the hype around the book right now and wondered what you thought? I'm reading the books right now myself and my oldest son, who is 14, told me at their school in reading if the kids read the book they were able to go on a field trip to see the movie. What are your thoughts on age limits for this series of books? . … [Read more...]

Biggest Loser Season 13 : Episode 13

cooking challenge

This episode of Biggest Loser was a fun one. This weeks excuse "Exercise is Boring". I honestly have never found exercise boring it is just getting up and actually doing it that has been the problem. Dolvett took his team to a Zumba class. I've never been to an actual class but I love me some Zumba. I've only done it in the safety of my home behind closed curtains playing Zumba Rush Kinect. Just watching this portion of the show made me want to … [Read more...]

Pearls – Spirits of the Belleview Biltmore Giveaway : (Ends 4/18)

pearls

This is a very exciting giveaway for me, not just because the book sounds interesting and is close to the area I grow up in, it is because I personally know this new budding author. I don't know her through blogging, she didn't contact me, she is a Real Life in the flesh I know her kinda friend. In fact I use to work with her. She is an amazing woman and if you are ever in a bad mood just spend sometime with BonSue. She is full of life and her … [Read more...]

The Lorax Movie Review

lorax

Saturday Honey and I spent a little girls day out and went and saw The Lorax. I had planned to go the weekend before but with my nephew's birthday party on St. Patrick's day the weekend just got away from us. I told Honey Friday night we would go Saturday. Saturday morning I awoke to a small little face whispering "Mommy, today we get to see The Lorax", as Honey crawled up into bed with me I couldn't help but smile at her childlike … [Read more...]

The Twlight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 Movie Trailer

breaking-dawn-2

A huge fan of the books I openly admit I was not a fan of the first two  movies. I didn't think they showcased the emotion between Edward and Bella. The second was better then the first. The third was a home run. I LOVED Breaking Dawn Part 1 and can not wait to see Breaking Dawn Part 2! Here is a little glimpse of Bella as a vampire and I do mean little. … [Read more...]

award-winning-iphone-games

I love my iMac, my Macbook Pro, my iPhone, and my iPad2. I've come to the darkside I'm an Apple girl at heart. I admit that my iPad2 is used mostly for leisure. I take it with me when the kids have doctor's appointments or when we are in the car (with me not driving of course). The kids play on it as much as I do. So I thought I would do a quickie post on my top 3 6 play all the time, addictive, favorite kinda games. Draw Something My new … [Read more...]

Photo Source : NBC

Surprised to see an update so quickly from me? With the boys on spring break we are back to our regularly scheduled program watching. So tonight we sat down and watched this weeks episode of Biggest Loser. This weeks excuse "I can't lose weight when I'm on vacation!" Honestly I don't know too many people that try to lose weight during vacation. Usually the focus is just not to GAIN weight. The contestants were flown to Hawaii to test the … [Read more...]

Biggest Loser Season 13 : Episode 11

Biggest loser Jessica Simpson

This weeks Biggest Loser was a fun episode with a little less drama. I wouldn't say dramaless but not quite as much as the usual Biggest Loser Season 13 is prone too. After Cassandra's vote off last week the contestants were informed there would no longer be "teams", they were going to individuals. Unfortunately for Kim this put her in a less then perfect position. Emily already not in the best of positions didn't fair much better. The previous … [Read more...]

American Idol 2012 My Top Three Pick’s : March 14, 2012

american-idol-2012-recap

I sit here writing up this post as I just finished watching Wednesday's episode of American Idol and starting to watch Thursday's episode. I was sad to here about Jermaine Jones, he seemed humble and I wish he could have finished out his journey on American Idol. That said I do believe the producers had no choice. Tonight my favorite "Phillip" is not one of my top picks from Wednesday's show. I think he did a great job concerning he just … [Read more...]

Biggest Loser Season 13 : Episode 10

cassandra

Sorry I know I'm a week behind and you probably JUST finished watching episode 11 I'm trying to catch up as fast as I can. This week's excuse "I Can't Get Out of my Comfort Zone". To drive home the excuse Bob and Dolvett were forced to switch teams for one week. Dolvett trained the black team will Bob trained the red team. The trainers were giddy the contestants not so much. This week found us watching a little more then some upset … [Read more...]
