As you will see from critic Richard Roeper’s below review, the film was a bit of a disappointment. That said, we still can’t forget that mom-burn-out is very real and alive on your block and mine!

In my own family, my thirty-something cousin from Long Island reached the brink of her mom-burn-out recently. The mother of two elementary school age girls, she has been juggling the mom thing for many years, while holding down a high power, full-time professional gig.

Then one day, a post came from her Facebook page. “Enough of this“, she said. “Watch for something new – coming soon!”

Her new business venture, Out of the Box, provides custom-tailored, keepsake gifts for all your special occasions. I love the unique, hand-made look of all the items. They are not your typical store-bought – seen it a million times type of gifts.

Check out her neat assortment of new baby gifts on the Out of the Box Facebook page – from one-of-a-kind family trees, to new baby gift baskets!

For those in the New York area, craft workshops are offered too.

And the benefit of being there to document all those special – precious moments – priceless!
