Nanny to Mommy

When it comes to Christmas, I want my children to know the true meaning and why we celebrate the season. So if you are a mom like me, then go see IT’S CHRISTMAS AGAIN, in theaters for one day only on November 29th! IT’S CHRISTMAS AGAIN is a modern-day musical the whole family will love about one teenager’s journey to discover the true meaning of Christmas. A film with a beautiful reminder that Jesus is the reason for the season.

About IT'S CHRISTMAS AGAIN: Jake Young (Lawson Touliatos) wants nothing more than to spend his Christmas vacation with his girlfriend, Abbey Walker (Leela Owen). So when Abbey volunteers for her church’s Christmas play, Jake is ready to skip Christmas this year until an unexpected turn of events lands him in a field outside Bethlehem on the night Jesus was born. While on his journey with the shepherds to find the promised Messiah, Jake discovers the true meaning of Christmas. Coming this Christmas season, IT’S CHRISTMAS AGAIN is a modern-day musical the whole family will love!

While movies are mostly known for entertainment, it’s also a great source of knowledge and information for everyone, especially for kids — as long as you let them watch the right movies for their age. Kids are always curious. They always want to know things, and you have to feed their minds with the right information so that they can take those as they grow up. Fortunately, there are numerous movies, specifically written and produced for kids to watch.

Let’s dive into these kid-friendly movies you need to have your children, nephews, and even younger siblings watch to keep them entertained while instilling good morals in their minds. These movies are also available on major streaming services, like Netflix, Hulu, DISH TV, Apple TV, and more.

JERRY & MARGE GO LARGE is inspired by the remarkable true story of retiree Jerry Selbee (Cranston), who discovers a mathematical loophole in the Massachusetts lottery and, with the help of his wife, Marge (Bening), wins millions and uses the money to revive their small Michigan town.

This holiday season, the new chapter in Illumination’s smash animated franchise arrives with big dreams and spectacular hit songs as the ever-optimistic koala, Buster Moon, and his all-star cast of performers prepare to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet...all in the glittering entertainment capital of the world. There’s just one hitch: They first have to persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star—played by global music icon Bono, in his animated film debut—to join them. Please note this film is Rated PG.

After two years of a DreamWorks theater release, I am excited to announce Spirit Untamed will be riding into theaters on June 4th, 2021.

Today is our last day of school here and while our state is opening everything slowly, my family and I aren't quite ready to venture out yet. Normally, we are very social and we love going out to entertainment venues or traveling, so this staying at home life has been difficult for us to adapt to. I have trying my best to come up with activities for my kids to enjoy at home and I thought why not bring the movie theater to us. I received this projector a while back to review. But an at home movie night can be accomplished without a fancy video movie projector. Amazon and Disney+ are releasing movies early so you could rent one, make a bowl of easy monster popcorn, and curl up on your couch with the ones you love.

I received a complimentary copy of ABOMINABLE from Dreamworks Animation to provide this post. But, as always, all opinions are my own.

If you have been following me on Instagram, then you know my daughter had a slumber party for her 9th birthday. She had so much fun! We played games and made ornament crafts, but the hit of the night was getting to watch ABOMINABLE.

ABOMINABLE is “an epic, colorful journey home. Beautiful and exhilarating to behold” (Glenn Kenny, The New York Times). From the studio that brought you How to Train Your Dragon, this heartwarming and humorous story follows teenage Yi (Bennet) as she encounters a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China, she and her mischievous friends, Jin (Trainor) and Peng (Tsai), name him “Everest” and embark on an epic quest to reunite the magical creature with his family at the highest point on Earth. But the trio of friends will have to stay one-step ahead of Burnish (Izzard), a wealthy man intent on capturing a Yeti, and zoologist Dr. Zara (Paulson) to help Everest get home.

Having spent most of her life exploring the jungle with her parents, nothing could prepare Dora (Isabela Moner, Instant Family) for her biggest challenge yet – high school. When her parents mysteriously disappear while searching for the Lost City of Gold, Dora must swing into action and lead a group of ill-equipped high schoolers on a wild quest to save them. Hold on for a high stakes mission as Dora and her new friends navigate the jungle, outrun treasure hunters, and solve ancient puzzles to unlock the mystery of the fabled city.

Dora is all grown up in this new tale that actually has a playful nod to the original cartoon. My step-sister grew up loving Dora and being only a few years older while still loving cartoons, I loved her too. So when my daughter and I went to the movies, we saw the trailer for "Dora The Lost City of Gold" and were very excited. So we are thrilled to own it on digital and Blu-Ray now. And we loved the kit Paramount sent that included a Maglite as well!
