Family Movie Night: TRUTH BE TOLD ON 4/16/11 FOX TV

Our family is thrilled that P&G and Walmart are continuing their partnership to host fun family movie night presentations on FOX TV. We have thoroughly enjoyed these outstanding family-themed films with relevant topics and family-friendly themes. What a breath of fresh air! We're hosting a family viewing party on Saturday night with lots of friends and snacks - no drama, no parking, no gas, no expensive movie tickets, no outrageous soda and snack charges or lines at the theater....

Millions of families are rediscovering their family rooms and actually
watching TV ... together. Thanks to Walmart and P&G, great family
movies are now being broadcast FREE on network TV. Their mission is to offer great quality movies that are good for the entire family.


We serve up lots of snacks and goodies to enjoy throughout the movies - we munch and discuss some important topics while watching and following the movies. These movies have built-in teachable moments (remember those awesome "After School Specials" of the 1970-80's???)- PERFECT family entertainment! Past movies we enjoyed over the past year were the "Jensen Project" and "Change of Plans". My kids and I discussed the topics raised including honest, responsibility, sacrifice, and empathy. All the core values I strive to share with my children in a special package topped with POPCORN!

The premiere of “Truth Be Told” is on Saturday, April 16th on FOX at 8pm/7ct. Please visit the official Family Movie Night “Truth Be Told” website: http://www.familymovienight.com/truth-be-told/ and Facebook page www.facebook.com/familymovienight

Here's a brief peek into the movie:

When leading marriage counselor Annie Morgan (Candace Cameron Bure) is offered an opportunity to host a relationship talk show, she jumps at the chance. But fearful that being single might ruin her big break, she conspires with an old college friend and recent widower, Mark Crane (David James Elliott), to pose as a married couple with kids. Their story starts to unravel when Annie and Mark join her eccentric soon-to-be boss (Ronny Cox) for a weekend at his ranch in New Mexico. Comical misunderstandings mark the event as Annie struggles to keep up the ruse, finding herself emotionally invested and conflicted by her own conscience. Will she confess the truth about her marital status and her feelings for Mark... and will the truth set them free.

I had an opportunity to view a preview trailer and LOVED Candace Cameron Bure as she wrestles with important themes of honesty in a family-toned manner.

U by Kotex Makes A Difference

I know I wrestled with my tween years and maturity, so I'm so excited about U by Kotex for my daughter! She's already starting to ask questions, and we're preparing for the inevitable, and Kotex is "on our side"! It's so important to keep an open, honest dialogue with our children - especially about their body image and self-esteem issues.

U by Kotex is working hard to build confidence in young girls and their health issues. The topic of menstruation can be awkward and uncomfortable, but Kotex is a brand leader and is making use of today's tech savvy young ladies by providing a creative video and social media component to help girls shape and define their maturing bodies in a reassuring and fun manner.

U by Kotex products features fun, bold colors for their feminine protection line of Clearwear Pads, Click Tampons and Barely There Liners. Each provides soft, secure protection that is designed small and "hip".

My daughter and I were just beginning to explore these items so she could put together a "mini-emergency kit" for her backpack at school. She was somewhat mystified by the variety on the store shelves, but also overwhelmed by the sizes and types. The U by Kotex products truly gave her a tremendous relief and they are "cute, colorful and small". My daughter is so very relieved to have found the perfect fit for when her time arrives!

She even had a fun dream after we put together her U by Kotex kit for school that she shared with me - she was recommending this to her friends at during their lunch break - like a real spokesperson. All her girlfriends were so enthusiastic and appreciated the info - Kotex really gets our kids!

Visit http://walmart.com/ubykotex to learn more about the U by Kotex line, get some free samples and download a fun Daily Journal IPone or ITouch app that lets you take pictures, add play lists and geo-target your location for each entry. Also check out the funny new commercials, you can check out some of my favorites like this one: http://bit.ly/dsdQ0c. You can also visit the U by Kotex website at www.ubykotex.com for a sample kit - just perfect for your daughters' mini-emergency kit like Kristen's!
