From the acclaimed director of Anne of Green Gables...comes a new film meant to entice and captivate the musically literate. Based on the opera "The Magic Flute" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sullivan's newest movie release - "Mozart's Magic Flute Diaries" - tells the story of a young singer named Tom who falls in love with […]
Eating one-handed is a skill that I think most moms master within the first day or two of giving birth or adopting a little one. It's a survival skill, really. When my daughter was an infant, I ate one-handed at just about every meal (either that or I ate REALLY FAST while my husband or […]
