The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club is one of my favorite movies and I have probably seen it atleast 20 times in my life. I remember one time I actually wrote down every word they said much to the chagrin of my best friend at the time. When ever I hear, Don't You Forget (about Me) I think of this movie. My favorite part was when Claire gave John Bender her earring. Who doesn't love a bad boy?



What are some of your favorite 80s movies? Did you ever fall for a bad boy?

Race to Nowhere

There is a new film coming out called, Race To Nowhere. I really hope that it will come to my area! It is about how our current educational system is pushing our kids to a Race to Nowhere. We are creating stressed out, achievement driven kids, but are they happy? Are they healthy? Do they even know who they are? Some things to think about when you are pushing your kids to sign up for one more activity.

Be sure to watch this film when it comes out:

Food, Inc. and King Corn

Check out these really eye-opening food documentaries.  Don't be surprised if you look at grocery store food differently after.

Kidney Stones

Last month, on Mother's Day to be exact, we had to take my hubby to the Emergency Room in the middle of the night. We spent 3 hours in the ER, and found out that hubby was passing a kidney stone. He passed the stone at home the next morning, but during the night he was in excruciating pain. His pain was so strong they had to give him heavy narcotics. It is a pain most of us would rather avoid!

Here is a video about Kidney Stones:



Hopefully this will help someone recognize the signs!

Child Targeted Advertising

Here is an interesting article, How Shrek and Dora are Making Kids Fat, that claims that child-targeted advertising which uses cartoon characters is making our kids choose foods that are not exactly the most healthy for them. I know that my kids would choose a product with Dora on the front if they had a choice. Interestingly, even when we go through the health food sections my kids want us to get the cereals with the cute animals on them, but then they are let down when they don't like the cereal. What do you think of these marketing tactics?
