I first learned about silly bands from my grandson and my co-workers' daughter. For a fad, it's not too intrusive, or expensive. Now, there is a movie coming out - TOMORROW in fact - featuring silly bands. Called, Bands on the Run, one of my youth film critics, Anthony Aranda (age 8) from San Diego has reviewed it for me. Here's a link to his review and you can read it below.

KIDS FIRST! launched a campaign in 2010 to find 5 kids nationwide to serve as official youth Film Critics for one year. The contestants drew more than 11 million votes! Something that really speaks for how committed they were to the campaign. Since January, the 5 winners and 2 alternates have been reviewing films, interviewing talent and attending Red Carpet Events. Kung Fu Panda 2 was recently reviewed by 13-year-old Gabriella Chu from New York City.

In 2008, hubby and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. Of course we wanted to do something special to celebrate – and so we did.

We took our then 10-month-old, 8-year-old, and our two moms to Paris.

Yup, we went on a multigenerational – 10th wedding anniversary – vacation. When I mentioned our plans to friends, they thought we were nuts. They were thinking, “Why would you take your kids AND both moms/grandmas on a romantic trip to Paris?”

With Memorial Day quickly approaching, I've been scrambling to put a fun family vacation together for my little family of three - my husband, myself and our one-year-old daughter Alyssa. My problem is defining our new "fun". Before Alyssa came into our lives, vacation planning was easy: we'd rent a beach house with a bunch of friends, beach all day and bar all night. Obviously those days have come and gone. The bar is no place for a baby and neither is a house filled with single middle and upper twenty-somethings.
