Blissdom ’13 Agenda
Is Blissdom 2013 really THIS week? I’ll be packing over the next few days and heading across town on Thursday. As a planner, I have mapped out my tentative schedule. The problem is there are way too many great speakers, so I am not sure how to choose each session. I am hoping there are other attenders out there willing to share their notes, so I can get the most out of Blissdom. I feel fortunate to have this great conference come to my town. YEE-HAW! This is my first time, and I don’t believe you can ever be too prepared. 😉 Thursday10AM Wholly Guacamole Chef Experience (unofficial)3PM Photo Walk4:30PM…

The CROODS is a Rock Solid Family Movie
Personally, a good family movie is hard to find. Usually most of what you see is marketed as a kids movie, but some of the jokes are crude and geared toward adults. Fortunately, The CROODS proved itself to be a movie for everyone filled with stunning animation, suspense, laugh out loud moments and heart touching scenest. But even more I found something unexpected. THE CROODS is a rich story that bringing up the themes of family. It also shows us fear and how we can overcome it. I love the portrayal of the family and how creativity plays an important part in our life. DreamWorks’ THE CROODS hits theaters on March 22,…
