Movie Review: Catfish

With a title like Catfish and a simple poster like the above movie photo, probably not a lot of people are going to see this. I'm telling you, however, that it's intriguing. This movie is....like a train wreck. Strange, disturbing, but you can't look away.

The plot of the documentary Catfish, is a true story about a 20-something photojournalist and his online relationship with a family. The youngest member of the family, Abby, is a painter and sells her artwork for hundreds of dollars. She gets in touch with the main character, Nev, by sending him a painting of one of his photos in a newspaper. The connections are instantly made, and he falls for Abby's older sister, Megan, while simply texting, emailing, and sending messages and photos via Facebook. This movie is so bizarre, but at 90 minutes, it's an easy watch and the entire movie flies by because of what happens.

Watch it! It's so interesting. I would not let anyone under 16 watch it for sexual content, unless 14+ watch with an adult to explain some good lessons about the internet.

After you watch it tell me what you think! I'd love to hear your reactions.

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...
