Children's book reviews, all age comic books, Kidlit, mglit, movies, entertainment and parenting
A couple of weeks ago I discovered one of the most promising all ages comics that I’ve seen in a while. Lloyd and the Bear is like Calvin & Hobbes in space. Despite my clunky analogy, it’s original, in brilliant full color, appropriate for all ages and enjoyable for adults.

The other day we were shopping and I asked our 4 year old what bubble bath he wanted. I showed him two bottles. “The pink one is for girls”, he said. I agreed with him, but didn’t say anything because pink is for girls, as we walked towards the feminine product to purchase tampons for my wife.

This is a sponsored post. I’m a Sears blogger and all thoughts are my own. Oh my, we are right on the cusp of the gift giving season aren’t we? Time is a finite commodity and it seems to be in even shorter supply during the last three months of the year. What if you had a #PersonalShopper that could suggest things, do the research and compare the prices for you? They’re not going to buy them for you, don’t get delusional; but it’s free advice on the products that you need and are going to purchase.

I simply combined the two stories in my head to come up with the train wreck of a headline: In Defense of a hot mom on Facebook and fat children in England.

Sometimes movie reviews get in the way of a movie being good. That was almost the case for Pacific Rim, which came out this summer. We loved the movie when it came out and it’s so much better than you might have heard. It’s a big, loud, fun, ride with monsters, robots and the detail that you’ve come to enjoy (and expect) from a Gulliermo del Toro movie. You can win this Pacific Rim Blu ray giveaway for one of the best movies of the summer.
