We laughed our way through Despicable Me the first time, and then when we saw Despicable Me 2 this summer, it was even better. I am thrilled to be putting this Blue Ray DVD under the tree this year (and […]
We have two girls age (almost) 10 and 7. They are into this whole Christmas thing, they understand the experience and know what to expect. They have enough Decembers under their belt to be well …
Ok, ok, I lied. We don't call this STOUP, we actually call it GOOP. But that is a terrible title, so I changed it. Please don't call me "inauthentic" … it just didn't seem write to …
