Long ago, there was a beautiful princess. This princess loved to snuggle in her soft bed, but she was under an awful curse… she simply could not sleep, no matter how hard she tried.

Tonight, after all of my sessions, my sisters and I went to see Monsters University. Monsters Inc. was a favorite of ours when we were kids, so it was kind of special seeing it together… and pretty bittersweet. How tricky of Disney Pixar to wait exactly 12 years to release Monsters University after the first, […]
