Oz the Great and Powerful review: perfectly entertaining

I’m not a fan of 3D movies and prequels are simply an excuse to revisit tired film franchises with new actors.  I have thought both of those things in the past and sometimes they are true.  Factor in that Oz is iconic material, you’re messing with arguable the most beloved movie of all time and any references will ruffle the feathers of people regardless of how well made the movie is.  Rest easy denizens of Oz, the new movie is at its best- truly wonderful and at its worst an OK movie with lots of fabulous effects.

Extreme Mammals is a great addition to Fernbank for children

We do love going to the Fernbank Museum of Natural History.  Having such a large and well planned out museum of natural history is a benefit to living in a big city. However, truth be told, we don’t get there more than a couple of times a year.  Extreme Mammals just opened at Fernbank and is a great reason to discover-or be reminded of what a great museum it is. Continue reading Extreme Mammals is a great addition to Fernbank for children

netTALK Duo WiFi review: it may save money…. when it works

As all families do, we want to save money.  The phone, internet and television, had all been on one provider.  However, we didn’t watch enough television to merit the full package nor use the landline enough for the cost. Continue reading netTALK Duo WiFi review: it may save money…. when it works

All Through My Town is the go-to children’s book in the house now

I love to read.   3YO Mojo likes to read too.   In a perfect world I’d have enough time to have a site devoted exclusively to comic and children’s books.  I state that to preface the fact that our son likes books but is picky and certainly has his favorite books.  Having said that;  All Through My Town by Jean Reidy has been his go-to book ever since he picked it up. Continue reading All Through My Town is the go-to children’s book in the house now

Ringling Bros: Dragons, a boy’s first trip to the circus

We took 3YO Mojo to see the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus last week.  As with most 3YO little people he was excited, full of questions and wanted to eat everything in sight.  He was especially fond of the ‘tiger ice cream’, that’s what he called the icy freeze that was in his elephant souvenir cup.  Continue reading Ringling Bros: Dragons, a boy’s first trip to the circus

Naptime DIY-What to do with old cans of paint

I needed a little polyurethane for a project.  Any good DIY-er buys in bulk, so I didn’t have a quart of poly, I had a gallon; even though I only needed a little bit when I purchased it originally.  When picking up my gallon of polyurethane I noticed it was heavier and less fluid than when I last used it.  This was not a good sign. Continue reading Naptime DIY-What to do with old cans of paint
