Little Pim DVD Giveaway (CLOSED)
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with languages. I remember when I was little, I heard the word linguist and it sounded to me like it had something to do with languages, so for the longest time, I kept telling people that I wanted to be a linguist when I grew [...]
Rave 18 IMAX Theater: Movies Plus a Little Something Extra
One thing that Los Angeles has no shortage of is entertainment complexes. I suppose that is exactly the way it should be for the entertainment capital of the world. And for busy families on the go in this town, there’s no better entertainment experience than one that offers one-stop shopping: dinner, dessert, a movie or some [...]
Disney Magic East or West?
Disney…the word that can elicit excited squeals of joy from any kid in an instant, whether it’s the announcement of a planned trip to one of the theme parks, or the opening of a long-awaited animated film.

Weekly Giveaway: Emmy-Award Winning Juno Baby DVD!
When I was pregnant with my first daughter six years ago (man, where does the time go!!), I was determined to only expose her to good music, good food, the sound of my voice (as well those of other family and friends), lots of hugging, kissing and cuddling. This, loosely translated in my world, meant no TV. [...]
