The Honest Toddler speaks the truth, but I didn’t get it

I am sometimes behind the curve on things. I didn’t get Doctor Who until they had made about 40 episodes into the latest incarnation-now I love it! I ‘get’ Convos With My 2 Year Old immediately. The Honest Toddler is a twitter sensation that has a book out now that I just don’t get. Continue reading The Honest Toddler speaks the truth, but I didn’t get it

Big Daddy’s Rules-a tough dads tale on raising daughters is charming and funny

In Big Daddy’s Rules, Raising Daughter is Tougher Than I Look we meet a dad of two young girls. What initially makes the story engaging is that the dad is Steve Schirripa, actor and star of numerous TV hits including The Sopranos and The Secret Life of An American Teenager. Steve is also a very large, intimidating man from New Jersey. He fits the mold of an angry Italian onscreen and the written stories of him being a dad are educational, funny and something I could relate to.

Dad Spends a Night in the Mancave: Sherlock is top notch

I love my Roku. We disconnected cable many months ago, purchased one and live off NetFlix, the occasional Hulu and sometimes live TV. The benefit of this is that we’ve discovered dozens of new shows. I finally get Doctor Who now, which in turn led me to Torchwood (even better) and the new Star Trek movie led me to Sherlock. Continue reading Dad Spends a Night in the Mancave: Sherlock is top notch

Iron Man 3 is less Iron, more Man-but very entertaining

The next movie after an excellent movie is challenging. Iron Man 3 and The Dark Knight Rises should go bowling. They’d talk about how great they were, mention their previous entries and then Iron Man mentions that his previous movie was actually The Avengers. Then Batman would laugh, talk about the Justice League Movie (yeah…right) and Iron Man would go on talking about Avengers 2. Continue reading Iron Man 3 is less Iron, more Man-but very entertaining
