Did you know that one week of body oils and sweat can fill up a 600ML jar? I recently learned that startling statistic from the Wisk® Yuck Report’s “Dirty Secrets Revealed:” Really kinda gross, huh? Makes you re-think how often you change the sheets on your bed, for sure! The study also revealed: 1 in […]
We Rural Moms are certainly enthusiastic about our kitchen tools and decor – no surprise there! I have to say, though, I get even more giddy when I find a product that not only provides functionality but also have great sentimental or personal meaning attached. It’s why I’m currently over-joyed that Epicurean sent over a […]
The kids are back in school now which lets hubby and I ever-so-often sneak away for a little mid-week lunch date… which will soon be a mid-week movie date matinee instead as I’m excited to see THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU when it hits the theaters September 19. When a film contains this many […]
Until recently, I didn’t know what a “Glader” was because somehow we’d missed reading James Dashner’s “The Maze Runner.” We’re happily correcting this by catching up with the book series and eagerly awaiting THE MAZE RUNNER film, which will soon be in theaters on September 19.

The buzz had barely started about this new 3D computer-animated super-hero film when we stepped inside the Walt Disney Animation Studios to get a preview of the movie and meet with Directors Don Hall & Chris Williams and Producer Roy Conli. My sons hadn’t even started talking about BIG HERO 6, so I had no reference on what to expect or even if […]
If you video taped 1 second of your life each day for a year, what would your 6 minute film look like? Director Patrick Osborne decided to find out and started filming 1 second of video each day for three core areas of his life: regular life, at work and food! This practice inspired him […]
