I finally watched Coco, after much prodding from my teen daughter. I honestly thought this movie would be really stupid, and the trailers did not catch my interest. So I finally let the kids talk me into watching this for our movie night (spearheaded by the teen daughter that loves this movie). I was so wrong about this movie- while it had its dry points, it was overall a great one. This is a great way to introduce The Day of the Dead, and could be helpful for children experiencing a death in the family/close friend to understand that those we lose still live on in our memories and should still be celebrated. If you haven't seen it yet, make the time to watch Coco.

Bittersweet drama, a little dry
As interesting as the parallel dialogues were of both father and daughter, the story fell short slightly of its potential. It felt a little repetitive at times and ended rather suddenly with not much conclusion. It was sweet but it didn't quite reach the point of cementing a moral of the story.

My 12-year-old daughter has been making slime for a while now, so I thought she'd enjoy this book. She did find some inspiration and ideas to add to the recipes she was already using, but nothing really brand new. If you haven't tried making slime yet, this would be a perfect place to start.

Interesting story
Okay, so essentially this book is about a crazed mother who has trained her daughter to do one thing: get revenge on someone who broke her heart. There are many twists and turns, and sometimes you will probably be like “what the heck am I reading?”, but it kept me hooked and turning the pages.
