I have adored Bambi since…well, ever since I can remember. It’s a movie that captures the heart of all who watch it. It truly is a beautiful movie.

Exorcismus- To Watch, or Not To Watch
| February 28, 2011 | Posted by barb under Reviews |
|
Scary movies are hard to review, and I say this only because—what I find to be down right scary, may not be at all scary for you. For me; if I watch a movie, and it’s “that scary,” I won’t get any sleep for weeks. If it isn’t all that scary, then I’m upset because… Keep Reading…

Bagel Spice Review
| February 23, 2011 | Posted by barb under food, Reviews |
Most times; a spice is a spice is a spice…to me. I don’t usually get excited about stuff like this. I mean…I love them, I use them, and I think that they can truly enhance the flavors of any dish. But honestly, there’s never been a moment where I went ‘gaga’ over a spice and… Keep Reading…

I was Unplugged Yesterday
| February 20, 2011 | Posted by barb under Family, home |
That’s right…I did a blog ‘detox’ (clearing my head) for a little over 24 hours. And I have to say…I am pretty impressed with how little I agonized over being away from my blog. It was pretty hard at first, but once I started cleaning—there was nothing to it. I only jumped on my computer… Keep Reading…
