When it comes to movies or TV shows, I am a big fan of those including Ashley Judd. There is just something about this lady that I really like. A couple days ago I started watching Missing, The Complete First Season which consists of 3 DVDs that include a total of 10 episodes.

Synopsis: After Becca Winstone’s son disappears while overseas for a summer internship, she takes it upon herself to travel to Europe to track him down. It soon becomes clear that Becca is no ordinary soccer mom, but a former CIA agent deactivated after the devastating death of her husband. If she wants to find her son alive, Becca will have to rely on old friends and old enemies thus reopening old wounds.

After watching the first episode of the first DVD of the set I was hooked. Through all 10 action packed episodes, Becca (Ashley Judd) goes out at extreme lengths to find her one and only son. Being a mom, I love the compassion that this character showed for the only thing she had left in the world. During these episodes this lady takes some criminals down.

Take a peek at some footage of Missing below:

 

I love movies with action and suspense and I love the role that Ashley Judd plays in this movie. The ending was almost perfect until it leaves you hanging for the next season which I read online that was cancelled which is a big bummer since I really enjoyed watching it.  Even though I am disappointed there is not going to be a second season, I still recommend watching this show!

Right now Amazon has Missing, The Complete First Season 3 Disc DVD Box Set on sale for only $25.95 and FREE Shipping!

Do you have a little girl that likes to play with dolls? For me, I have 3 daughters and have bought and seen quite the variety of dolls throughout the years, including the ones that I have played with myself being a girly girl.

Recently I received a doll to review that is super adorable. The doll is one of the Gund Girls and her name is Sloan. There are actually 4 different Gund Girls, but I chose to review Sloan because she loves hanging out on the beach with her friends and best of all, her style is a hippie California chic. Since I was born and raised in California, I thought it would be perfect to add Sloan to our family.

Since school is out for many, the Gund Girls are great for a summertime pal, especially for road trips, daycare, camp or maybe a day at the beach. As I mentioned before, there are 4 different dolls that each come with their own personality and style.

Here are the Gund Girls:

• Brooklyn – she  is a shopper
• Emma – she is artsy and loves to paint
• Deedee – this girl is adventurous
• Sloan – the California girl that loves the beach

These cute, soft and stylish dolls are 17″ and retail for $30.00 on the Gund website. You will also find lots of other fun teddy bears and other soft toys for kids on the Gund website at: https://www.gund.com.

If you are looking for something special for your child to give to their dad, Hallmark has a CUTE  8.5″ X 8.5″  recordable book “Dad & Me” that allows you to record your child’s answers to questions in the book. This is a hardcover book with 16 pages that features 1 minutes of recording time per it’s 2 page spread layout.

Although this would make a great Father’s Day gift, it would be great to give to dad for any occasion. There is also a version for grandpas too!

For the last couple months, we have been using the VTech LS6475-3 which is a neat phone system that not only includes two handsets, it also includes a cordless headset that comes in handy for my husband since he is the only that is usually always on the phone.

What I love about this system is not only does it provide you with multiple ways to chat with your friends and family, it also has a handy answering machine service to record messages from your callers when your not home or just don’t want to talk. I tend to avoid the phone sometimes and like that it can hold up to 14 minutes of recording time. …
