I have a confession to make…I never played with Barbies. I was a bit of a tomboy as a kid. Well – I take that back. I was a closet girlie girl. I had a few Cabbage Patch dolls, a Poochie Dog Stamper and got excited over a Hello Kitty notebook. But in public? I…

UP!
I got lucky. Erica was slated to review UP!, but it accidentally got shipped to me instead. I had really wanted to see UP! in the theaters, but time just flew by, (pardon the pun,) and I didn’t get to it. When Jackson arrived home from school yesterday, I said, “Guess what arrived in the…
