Good for family Easy to learn Stopped my family driving me mad (0 more)
Went into my local game shop, explained I was goiyaway with the family and all we ever do in the evening is play the same 2 games of cards and I wanted to liven things up without frightening them with modern technology! This is what the guy recommended and it worked a treat. My mother has asked me to bring it over every time I visit. So long as you have 15-20 minutes to brush up on how the "dealer" role works the game moves at a good pace and no one feels like they are getting a bad deal as the game is easy to understand and those with poorer cards are compensated in the next turn.
Would highly recommend if going away or staying with young family to break the monotony.

I’m not sure who enjoyed the new Disney movie ‘Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day’ more, the adults or the kids.

 

Steve Carrell as the out of work, stay at home dad and Jennifer Garner as the stressed out on the go working mom are funny and quick witted.

 

There were lots of funny situations and lots of laughs from the audience as we follow the family through a day that is ‘cursed’ upon them by the midnight wish of their middle child Alexander (Ed Oxenbould) on his birthday.

Alexander wishes that his family, for once, would understand what it is like to be in his shoes and have a ‘Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day’.

What ensues is mishap after mishap for each member of their family, and ultimately, the lesson that no matter what, family is first and families need to stick together to overcome challenges.

I loved the movie, and my 6 year old liked it too, even though many of the jokes in dialogue were over his head.

I would give this movie 4 out of 5 stars, as a great family film, and great fun.

Between finishing reading Hello Beautiful and writing this review, this book has exploded. Oprah has taken it under her wing and shown it as the wonderful piece of work that it is to her followers. So, it has already been read by a lot of people - and rightly so. I loved it. Books about families and family relationships, whether they’re a difficult or loving relationship, are one of my most favourite things.

There are most certainly echoes of Little Women, but if you’ve never read it, it won’t make much difference to your enjoyment. You might want to try Little Women at some point though!

William Waters grows up in a very dysfunctional family, and is drawn into the Padavano family when he marries Julia - it’s a family he comes to love.

With themes of mental illness, family loyalties, love in all of its forms and loss, it’s a big read for only around 400 pages. The story just sped by, and I was bereft when I turned the last page.

I loved the world of William Waters and the Padavano sisters.

Highly recommended.
