Road Trips, Childhood Memories and a New Movie….
A new movie that came out yesterday (May 15th!) on iTunes, Amazon and showing in various theaters across the country via Tugg, promises fun, childhood adventure and joy to audiences. Called a “modern-day tale of hope, faith and courage based on stories from the Bible” Beyond the Sun is the first movie to ever feature a guest appearance by the Pope himself! Seriously Pope Francis is in this film! Here’s the trailer: Since the film is about childhood adventures, I thought I’d share one that isn’t necessarily from my childhood – but that of my kids.

Subscription Box Review: Once Upon a Book Club
You guys know I love subscription boxes. I mean I really, really love them. I think it is really cool to get a box every month and be surprised by what is inside. Unfortunately, you can’t always guarantee that a box is good. Sometimes you get duds. Seriously I got a box once that had all this stuff free floating in it – looked like someone had cleaned out their junk drawer! I also love books. That’s a fact that is pretty well documented by the fact that I own Fiction Addict and Radiant Lit. At the beginning of the subscription box phase, I tried a couple of book themed…

Like most men, Bill doesn’t speak teenager and he’s not sure how to help his daughter get through the loss that he’s barely surviving himself. Just when he thinks that things couldn’t possibly get more difficult, the worst thing imaginable happens. His daughter Summer, and her best friend Haley, go missing. Days after they’ve gone missing, life takes another sharp, painful curve. Summer’s…
