The Panasonic HomeHawk Wireless Home Monitoring System was the perfect solution for securing our front door and offering me peace of mind.

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.

Upon entering the room, I knew we were in for a show….here’s why!

Most days when I pick up the boys from school it’s like pulling teeth to get an answer about their day. I get the typical “it was good” response or something similar. Except today was different. My little guy hopped in the car and his motor was running. He was so excited to tell me about the library book he checked out on recipes. “Mom I’m going to make fruit kabobs when I get home,” L said. After a quick stop at Publix, L piped up again, “mom what if we combined muffins with the fruit?” I told him what a great idea and said we’ll call them muffin fruit kabobs!
