What To Expect When You´re Expecting

I’m sure that all mamas out there have heard about, read and recommended the best seller pregnancy book What to expect when you’re expecting to friends, co workers, family and  probably even strangers. Well, to my surprise the self help guide is now turning in to a movie with a very interesting cast.

“What to Expect” follows five couples who are preparing for the best and worst of having a baby. The ensemble cast includes Banks, Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Anna Kendrick, Matthew Morrison, Brooklyn Decker, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock and many more.

I think it’s going to be hilarious. Can’t wait to watch it!

Caine’s Arcade – A little boy’s dream

I was checking out some local blogs this morning and stumbled on this video from Q8 Blend’s blog. Caine Monroy is a 9-year old boy who spent his summer vacation building an  DIY cardboard arcade in his dad’s used auto parts store. Day after day he would design, develop and create different arcade games using cardboard boxes and some of his old toys as prizes for his customers. It was his dream to have customers play at his arcade stations and one man made it all possible.

The imagination and creativity of children is limitless but as  parents specially here in Kuwait are we holding our children back ? Are we giving them everything on a silver platter ? Are we giving them the opportunity to be the best they can be ? Just a little something to think about.

After filming the video, the film makers created Caine’s Scholarship Fund & Caine’s Arcade Foundation

We posted the film with an initial goal of raising a $25,000 scholarship fund for Caine to help with his education. The first day the film was posted, over $60,000 was raised. A week later, we received a matching dollar-for-dollar seed funding grant of $250,000 from the Goldhirsh Foundation to help start the Caine’s Arcade Foundation to help more innovative kids.

There is so much good in the world and starting off with just one man, a total stranger has changed Caine’s life forever.

SMILE, BE THANKFUL, BE POSITIVE AND ALWAYS REMEMBER THERE IS NO LIMIT WHEN DREAMS ARE INVOLVED.

The Bully Project

Bully the documentary weaves together the stories of five families dealing with the long-term effects of school bullying in the United States— two that have recently lost their children to suicide and three that are experiencing it day in and day out. The Bully Project is the first feature documentary film to show how we’ve all been affected by bullying, whether we’ve been victims, perpetrators or stood silent witness. The world we inhabit as adults begins on the playground.

The Bully Project opens on the first day of school. For the more than 5 million kids who’ll be bullied this year in the United States, it’s a day filled with more anxiety and foreboding than excitement. As the sun rises and school busses across the country overflow with backpacks, brass instruments and the rambunctious sounds of raging hormones, this is a ride into the unknown.

After just watching the trailer my heart goes out to all the children and families that have been affected by bullying. As a mother  I would like to believe that I’am raising 2 wonderful boys who are confidant, secure , who will not give in to peer pressure and who will stand up to anyone who will even try to put them down. It is important to talk to your children, be involved in their daily life, ask questions about school, friends and activities  they do at recess. Make sure they know that you are there for them and that they can come and talk to you about anything and everything. Make sure they know that you will always be on their side and that they can trust you with any problem they have because we also have bullies in our schools.
