New Season of Transformers Rescue Bots Premieres Nov. 1

I was a huge fan of Transformers when I was a kid. I remember my best birthday was when I turned 7 and I received the Transformers Buzzsaw, Grapple and Inferno. I was pretty sure that my friends were the best friends in the universe. The theme song to the 1980’s cartoon is still among my favorites and I will forever make that Kee-kah-koh-kuh sound whenever I am folding/ bending/ or changing the shape of anything (and this happens quite frequently at Casa de Freeze). I also sometimes to it just to annoy my kids. Now, a new generation of […]

“R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour” Returns To Hub Network.

HUB Network’s Emmy Award Winning program R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour returns on October 4 with back to back episodes that feature two of TV’s most powerful teen actors. The Haunting Hour is based on the book series from beloved children’s author R.L. Stine, so while this series may be too scary for young TV watchers, it offers the right creep-factor for braver kids and tweens. My 5 year-old has gleefully watched episodes of the series by peeking through his fingers, but my sensitive 7 year-old gets goosebumps even hearing the mention of R.L. Stine.

The Hub Network and Awkward Family Photos team up for “Awkward Family Movie Week”

My family has taken some very strange Christmas card photos. Most embarrassing are several years where my siblings and I posed in swimsuits. Swimsuits!!!
