As for me, this movie stars Hugh Jackman…..need I say more?
Overall, the entire family really enjoyed this movie.
Here is a brief synopsis of the movie:
Set in the not-so-distant future where boxing has gone high-tech and 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots have taken over the ring, the film stars Hugh Jackman (X-Men franchise, Australia) as Charlie Kenton, Evangeline Lilly (TV’s Lost, The Hurt Locker) as Bailey Tallet, Dakota Goyo (Thor) as Max Kenton, Kevin Durand (I Am Number Four, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) as Ricky, and Anthony Mackie (The Adjustment Bureau, The Hurt Locker) as Finn.
I was actually really surprised by this movie and honestly did not expect it to be as good as it was! I thought that is was a great movie for the whole family to enjoy! What I really appreciated about the movie was that they showed how a father and son can mend a broken relationship when brought together by something that they both love to do. For me, that part really hit home and I think it had an affect on my 2 older children as well. The relationship between Charlie and ax was depicted quite well in the movie and was very believable.
After watching the movie, we checked out the bonus features. We really like watching the Building of the Bots and learning how they created each of them and brought them to life in addition to seeing how the actors interacted with the bots for the film.
Be sure to check out Real Steel on DVD & Blu-ray January 24th!

Sorry for the lack of updates……we had a baby!
Ellenore Marjorie joined our family on 12/17/11 @ 1:48am weighing in a 6# 2 oz and 18.5 inches long. She arrived 4 weeks early so we have been getting adjusted around here!
She just celebrated her 1 month birthday and here she is to say hi!
Last year sometime, the Libby convinced my mom, Granny the Great, to buy her The Hunger Games.
This was the first time I had ever heard of the book.
A few months later, Zack asked me to grab him Mocking Jay while I was at Barnes & Noble one day because he desperately needed to read this third and final book in the trilogy and the waiting list at school was a mile long.
Upon hearing about these books, the Alex picked up The Hunger Games and read it and then got on my case to order Catching Fire so he could read the trilogy as well and it was the only book we were missing…..so, I ordered it.
I had zero…absolutely NO desire to read any of these books.
All I have heard for the last few months out of my husbands mouth is Anne, I really think you would like the books, you should read them…..blah blah blah…
Then over the weekend I had Zack get The Hunger Games off the shelf for me.
I decided the time had come to check it out. It seemed like everyone I knew in real life and on the interwebs was reading these books.
Personally, I blame it on Brittany and her Facebook posts, the tears she shed and the fact she read the book in 12 hours!
So it began….
Sunday night as I lay in bed I started reading it.
Less than 24 hours later…..I finished the damn book.
Yes, I was sucked in.
Instead of doing housework, responding to emails, blogging etc…..I read.
I read while I was nursing Ellie.
I read while I ate my lunch.
I read while Ellie and Alexander napped.
I read while Alexander watched the Power Rangers.
I just read and read until I finished the book.
I loved it.
Except for that one part when that really bad thing happens and I cried.
That part did not make me happy.
I slammed the book on my desk and told the Alex I was pissed and didn’t want to read anymore.
10 minutes later, I picked the book back up and continued.
Now I am reading Catching Fire. I am only about 50 pages in but I can already feel it sucking me in.
Oh and I finally caved and watched the trailer for The Hunger Games movie and now I am dying to see it.
So, if you are looking for me here, on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest etc. and can’t find me it is because I am off reading!
Before I became pregnant with Ellie, I was headed in the right direction with my weight loss. I kicked off 2011 with the plan of taking back control of my life and losing weight and getting healthy. I was doing great, I had lost almost 30 pounds and then boom……we found out I was pregnant with Ellie. Needless to say that was the end of my weight loss for the next 36 weeks.
Goodbye weight loss journey.
Hello healthy pregnancy weight gain.
Yes, this pregnancy I managed to keep my weight gain to a minimum and only gained 17 pounds.
Yay me!
This time around I was more cautious about what I was eating and how much of it I was consuming. I didn’t want to end another pregnancy down and depressed and struggling to lose weight once again.
This time, I did it right.
I gained 17 pounds in the 36 weeks I was pregnant.
In the past month since Ellie was born, I have lost 42.
I don’t know how I have done it, but I did.
Well, I know that 6 pounds 2 ounces was Ellie, approximately 2 pounds was the placenta, another 2 pounds each for the amniotic fluid, uterus and maternal breast tissue. There is also the approximate 4 pounds of maternal blood and another 4 pounds of fluids in the maternal tissue plus another 7 pounds of maternal fat and nutrient stores. All of that adds up to 29.2 pounds and then there is the added benefit that I am exclusively breastfeeding Ellie.
So yeah, I’ve lost 42 pounds in 1 month.
I couldn’t be happier.
Now I just need to lose at least 130 more and then I will be happy!
I can do it.
I am on the right track.
Now I just need to wait until my check up in a week and a half so I get the okay to start exercising on a regular basis again!
Here’s hoping I can stay on the right path this year!
(P.S. Did I mention that on December 24th, 2011 I celebrated 1 year of being smoke free???!!!)
