I love West Virginia for the gorgeous scenery, but I had no idea how much adventure could be found there! Thanks to Snow Shoe Mountain Resort for inviting my family for a stay and enlightening us to all the summertime fun! We received a complementary activities and accommodations, but all thoughts and experiences are solely […]
The hottest days of summer aren’t upon us yet, but back to school days are. If you have older kids in middle and high school, you probably have one or two locks on your back to school supply lists. I immediately thought of the Master Lock brand when my daughter showed me her supply list, […]
When I watched THE HUNDRED FOOT JOURNEY, Manish Dayal (Hassan Kadam) lit up the screen riveting the audience who eagerly watched his every move along his life and culinary path. In real life, Dayal has the same commanding and bright presence. When he entered the room for the interview, the whole theater was instantly aglow. […]
One of my favorite things about being a part of the Chick-fil-A Moms panel is gaining early insight and access to new innovations… and better yet, being able to share them with you! Chick-fil-A has just released a nation-wide Color Crafters App with fun downloadable family activities in conjunction with their Color Crafters Kid’s Meal […]

April (Italia Ricci) and her mother, Sara (Mary Page Keller.) Photo credit: ABC FAMILY/ Ron Tom I saw my first episode of Chasing Life at a screening on the lot of ABC Studios. Not sure what to expect, I imagined a young adult heart-wrenching drama that, well, wouldn’t necessarily be on my normal list of […]
It’s no surprise, the first thing you notice about Dave Bautista is his ripped physique. Getting in shape to play Drax the Destroyer in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY was not a challenge for the former WWE (world wrestling entertainment) champion and MMA (mixed martial arts) master, he already owns the shape. Martial arts training and […]
