The weather has finally started to clear up in recent days. The snow has melted and we’ve been hovering in the 40s for our highs. That meant we spent part of an afternoon this past weekend running around the backyard with bubbles. It was a breath of fresh air (literally)...

Smallfoot, from Warner Brothers, has instantly become one of my favorite animated movies ever. The movie is visually stunning.
