At age 5 our older son had an encounter with a bookshelf that caused both of his front baby teeth to be pulled. From then on, we nicknamed him toothless. It would be more than 2 years until his permanent teeth would grow in! During that period How to Train Your Dragon (the first installment) had already released, and the second film was in production. J had an uncanny connection with the night fury dragon – after all they had the same nickname.
And finally, the long-awaited third installment is here: How to Train Your Dragon – The Hidden World releases in theaters this Friday, February 22nd! The boys and I attended an early screening of the film just a few days ago, and we couldn’t wait to share our no-spoiler movie review with all of you!

Disney’s Christopher Robin was beyond what I expected! I will be the first one to tell you, I’m not a big Winnie the Pooh fan.

The filmmakers have transformed this nostalgic, classic tale into a real-life charming film. Christopher Robin is beautifully created and full of heart and so much laughter.
