Gnomies World by Beyond Words Films (The Secret, What the Bleep?)

Posted on

Let the children be filled with wonder and touched by peace.  Gnomies World is a darling movie about merry band of characters who live in the woods, go on peaceful adventures in nature, and bring laughter to all.

Searching for children’s films that help your kids relax? These five elements create physiological and hormonal shifts in the body:

  • Healing nature.Studies show that observing nature creates a shift in the body’s physiology.
  • Sound therapy. Music is well known to shift mood. Listen for music that creates relaxation in the body.
  • Laughter.The laughter response is well documented as an effective way to relieve stress and release feel-good endorphins in the body.
  • Peace and positivity:Snarky sarcasm may seem funny, but this type of “put down” humor loads kids with negative thoughts.
  • Laid-back pacing:Modern media is over stimulating to kids. Kids relax with slower, more organic pacing closer to real life.               Gnomies World is available on DVD or VOD from Beyond Words Films (The Secret), or FREE on Amazon Prime.

Happy Birthday at The Ditty #TastyTuesday #GroovinEats

Posted on

We got together for a Sunday Brunch at The Ditty to celebrate another birthday. I thought about celebrating being 29 again but I realized that we have lost a few friends who will not be 66 this year. I have to remind myself to embrace all the days. So we started with Bloody Mary and Pineapple Daiquiri. Welcome 66.

Choosing our meal was easy because it is all a home run. I got the Chicken Waffles and ate it all up. My sister Marianne,  went for the Breakfast Burger always a safe option and this was topped with an egg.  Merci went for the Short Rib Hash (my choice for the next time) and Marlene got the Avocado Toast which I know first hand to be delicious. So we drank, we gabbed and we ate the afternoon away. When I am with these women I don’t feel a day over Fabulous. I loved that we sat in the front of the restaurant, we tried to sit outside in the back but there was a private party. So we got to watch the world go by as we celebrated another birthday together. With thanks and a breeze.

Take the time to celebrate the times of your life with the people in your life, who ever they may be.  It’s funny but my favorite age in NOW.   Happy Birthday To Me and Happy Birthday To You. Now let’s make a wish.

Spring Concert #Songsintheair #Flowersofspring

Posted on

I tell you there is nothing like a Spring Concert!

A concert that has children singing in almost perfect harmony.  A harmony that brings children hand in hand, and gathers parents and grandparents in a auditorium to hear their little ones, and big ones, sing spring in.

All together now!  Show off your spring sing.  

The band played in time and the beat went on.

The flowers were in full bloom.  The sweet smell of harmony was in the air.

The spring concert was complete.

Complete with the sound of music of our little song birds.

It’s Spring!
