Batman vs Superman Candy Strawberries
In case you haven’t heard, there are going to be a few superhero battles this summer. The first clash to hit the big screens is Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Turn Your Easter Basket Into a Planter
Spring is such a beautiful time of year. It is also the most colorful time in the desert, although there are only a handful of colors represented.

Disney’s Zootopia
I have a confession to make. Even though both of my kiddos were excited to see Zootopia, I seriously dreaded having to sit through yet another movie with talking animals and cute characters. I reluctantly dragged myself to an advanced screening of Zootopia and for the first five to ten minutes, it appeared that my […]
Eddie the Eagle
Eddie the Eagle is the story of Michael “Eddie” Edwards, a young man with a life-long goal of becoming an Olympic athlete. Many kids dream of someday earning Olympic gold but in Eddie’s case, it seemed as if his chances were slim to none. Health issues, financial struggles, and a non-supportive dad all seemed to ensure […]

Unbound: Empowering Women Across the Globe
As an American woman, I have had opportunities that many women around the world will never have. These opportunities have included receiving an education from an early age and the freedom to choose between a full-time career, staying at home, or a combination of both. In addition to intellectual opportunities, I have an advantage over many […]
