GIVEAWAY: Family-friendly movie "Hero" on DVD, ends 8/30

Hero is coming to DVD on September 16th, and one of my lucky readers is going to win their copy early!

Official synopsis:
Hero DVD giveaway 2014 Yes/No Films

From producers of Alone Yet Not Alone, comes a heartfelt movie about legendary small town baseball coach, Joe Finn (Burgess Jenkins, Remember the Titans, Nashville, The Shunning), who after taking his shot as a scout for the big leagues returns home to discover the damage he's done by leaving his family behind. Now on a quest to rebuild his relationship with his son David, Joe forms a new baseball league to reinvigorate the underdog little league team his son had been coaching. Together, as father and son, they try to put away their differences and help bring their ragtag team of ball players, “The Gappers,” to victory.

Burgess, who has a child of his own, was excited about the film. “This movie really reinforces the importance of fathers in a child’s life. Sports can be that vehicle to solidify the bond.” George Escobar, a producer of Hero, wanted to make a movie that highlighted the real value in playing a sport and trying to win. “I grew up playing sports, and this idea of playing without winners and losers just seems like a missed opportunity to teach the kids how to train themselves to win. As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. A rival will push you harder than the desire to do your best.”

In a movie sure to inspire fathers and sons alike, Hero presents an all-star cast including Gregory Alan Williams (In the Line of Fire, The Preacher's Kid), R. Keith Harris (Big Fish), and Mark Joy (The Ultimate Gift). The film also includes a musical score by Grammy winner, Michael Omartian.

The movie's tagline is "Dads are a superpower," and it's a family-friendly movie that anyone can enjoy.

The Friday Five, 9/11/20: 5 things I've been up to this week

Image
Quarantine, end of week 26, which makes this 50% of the year. But more importantly: where were you on 9/11/2001? I still remember it: I was in my freshman year English class, and they announced over the loudspeaker that a plane had hit one of the World Trade Center towers. I turned to a friend and was like "What's going on?" and she said something like "I don't know but this is very bad." All after-school activities were canceled that day (swim team, for me), and for most of the day we just watched TV coverage. Pretty crazy that it was 19 years ago today. Grand Haven, MI beach and pier What I've been up to this week: A much-needed vacation . My last vacation or even my last trip was January in Vegas, before COVID-19 began. I've literally taken 0 days off of work this summer except for the Monday after the weekend of July 4th. Between that and my house stuff, I really needed a vacation. My boyfriend has Mondays and Tuesdays off work so we tra

Review and GIVEAWAY: Don Marcos Brand tortilla chips - a local Michigan brand! {ends 7/26}

Image
*Disclosure: I received Don Marcos products in exchange for this post. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. I recently was able to try some products from a local Michigan brand, Don Marcos—they're based right around the corner from me, in Southfield! Most likely, if you live in the metro Detroit area, you have tried their tortilla chips without even knowing it, because they are major distributor to a lot of local restaurants. I guess this makes sense, but I never really put two and two together: that tortilla chips are made out of cut up tortillas, which are then baked. Don Marcos sells the unbaked version, so I got to make them myself at home! They were super hot and fresh directly out of the oven, and very crispy, too. To make them was easy: I preheated my oven to 375 degrees, I sprayed the chips with vegetable oil, and I sprinkled some salt across them. You only have to cook them for 7-8 minutes. Don Marcos also sells tortillas, like the ones pictured a
