Watch This With Your Kids – Who Is Simon Miller?

August 3, 2011 By Elizabeth

This Saturday, August 6th, Walmart and P&G present the newest Family Movie Night feature, Who is Simon Miller?, starring Loren Dean ("Bones") as Simon and Robyn Lively (regular on TV & half-sister of Blake Lively) as his wife Meredith. Simon's frequent business trips have created distance between him and his 18 year old honor student daughter Sarah and 15 year old video gamer Kevin. But this is no business trip, as Meredith and her kids learn when they discover a stash of passports hidden in a desk drawer, each with Simon's face but a different name. And then Simon calls, but only to tell them not to tell anyone he's gone, not even the authorities. Meredith, Sarah and Kevin band together to solve the mystery of who Simon is and where he has gone. Who is Simon Miller? is fast-paced and exciting while remaining family-friendly in keeping with the genre. I recommend watching this with your kids this Saturday night! … [Read more...]

Change of Plans Sneak Peek and Giveaway

January 7, 2011 By Elizabeth

This Saturday night, gather your family around the TV and tune in to Change of Plans, the third made-for-TV movie from P&G and Walmart.

From what I've seen so far of Change of Plans, I think we're going to enjoy that one too! Starring Brooke White, Joe Flanigan and Phylicia Rashad, Change of Plans airs on Saturday, January 8, 2011 at 8/7c on FOX. Brooke White ("American Idol") plays Sally Danville, a musician married to fighter pilot Jason (Joe Flanigan, "Stargate: Atlantis").

A phone call from caseworker Dorothy (Phylicia Rashad, The Cosby Show) surprises Sally with the news that her best friend from college has died in a tragic accident while serving in the Peace Corps, and that she has been … [Read more...]

Back to School Shopping: Walmart Vs. Target

September 2, 2010 By Elizabeth

Image via CrunchBase I realize school has already started for a lot of your kids, but here in Michigan, school doesn't start until after Labor Day. I got an email about checking out the great prices on back-to-school supplies at Walmart, and since I've always bought school supplies at Target, I was curious to see what the differences were in price. Walmart offered to send me a gift card and a list of recommended school supplies so I could do some comparison shopping between the two. WALMART: I set off for Walmart with my list and the kids, and found the Back-to-School section right at the front of the store. There were multiple aisles filled with multiple blue cardboard boxes STUFFED with school supplies. We started at the top of the list and got shopping! This was the list Walmart sent me, I think it's based on what the average shopper needs for kids of varying ages: Avery Durable View Binder - 1 inch - $2.50 Big Brite Liner Highlighters - 5 pack - $1.50 Bic … [Read more...]
