What an incredible story! Hubby and I went and saw this movie last night, and it is now 
on our 
Top 5 Fave Movies list. Sandra Bullock is truly amazing in this heart-warming film. I absolutely adore her character (I swear I am a southern girl at heart), and I am in awe of of the self-less love that this family had for Michael Oher. Based on a true story, this is one movie you must see! 
I am also enjoying the red cups at Starbucks filled with the oh-so-yummy Caramel Brulee Latte (a grande, non-fat, no whip is only 310 calories). I am so not a coffee fan, but these little babies perk me right up when I need 'em the most! 
ure that this would be a fun start to the holidays, but for a Disney movie, it was scary!! My 3-year-old and 5-year-old didn't lose any sleep after seeing this, but there were some moments in this movie that had them gripping their chairs and hiding their faces! The graphics and animation were incredible in this movie, but I do not recommend this for small children.
Holy Hotness!! I saw New Moon TWICE in its opening weekend, and I will probably see it a few more times before I own it on DVD.
