Despicable Me 2 Review by a Not-so-expert!

This 4th of July weekend I took my daughters to see Despicable Me 2. At first I was a bit reserved to take them being that the rating was PG but I realized I was overthinking things after I seen the movie. The movie is a sequel to the 2010 animated film Despicable Me. 

Despicable Me 2 focuses on Gru (Steve Carell) and his relationships or lack thereof. Gru is now a loving father and "good" guy; and although he is in a much better place there is still a void.  When I first heard that Gru falls in love, I thought the entire movie would be dedicated to him and his love-life.  This however was not the case.  The directors did a great job of mixing all aspects of Gru in this film. His role as a father, leader to his minions, his love-life, and his now "good" guy role are all intertwined to deliver a comedic, heart-warming film that my girls and I truly enjoyed.

Aside from the fact that my 5 year old has to go to the potty and my 2 year old decided to have her own sequel (number 2 get it?) during the film, I have no true complaints!

I will suggest limiting your kiddos liquid intake prior to and during the film; as well as taking them to the potty before the movie due to it being approximately an hour and a half in length. Also, as far as the PG rating it should not be a concern, like all animated movies these days there is some adult humor that will go right over your kids head. So no worries!

Summer Survival Tips for Mom

Summer is here and so are all the things that come with it! Swim lessons, t-ball, summer camps, vacations, birthday parties, family reunions, a house full of strange kids, and the list go on! Summer is an exciting time but it doesn't come without a price.  During the school year while the kiddos are away we as mothers work whether at home or for a company. Summer vacation tends to upset our regular schedule by having to adjust our duties in accordance with our children. Here are a few summer survival tips that have worked for me and other moms I know: Get prepared! Plan ahead and be prepared for summer vacation have an organized schedule of activities for your kiddos to do, in order to keep them busy and limiting interruptions. Also, plan your summer meals ahead as well. Plan for easy summer meals such as hot dogs and burgers that can be cooked on top of the stove or outside on the grill. Why even bother using that scorching oven this summer! Don't stress! Easier ...

And Baby Makes 3

I think back to when my 5 year old was first born. I must say it was truly a special time, saturated with some new experience daily. I can recall the very first night of her arrival; she slept through the entire night! I remember thinking, "Wow this is going to be a breeze!” Yeah, well definitely not the case. The next night...and every night thereafter, my sleep had become more like random spurts of unconsciousness. My husband (then boyfriend) and I were so sleep deprived that we envied the rest of the world, knowing they were nestled snuggly in their beds; while we took turns changing diapers and feeding our newborn. Truth be told, I even resented my husband at times as I would look over and see him sleeping so soundly! My husband and I have this unspoken game (I like to call it “sleep roulette”) in which we pretend to be in such a deep sleep, that we do not hear our daughter’s crying. That way, the other parent will get up and change a diaper, make a bottle, or give a glass o...
