School is almost back in session, and after we looked at TV's most memorable cheerleaders, I got some inspiration for this week's edition of Buzz Lines. Whether you love it or hate it, there's no denying that there are some amazing one-liners in the 2000 cheerleading flick Bring It On. Check out some of my favorites, and then tell me your own in the comments! "Cheerleaders are dancers who have Read more

Before Hayden Panettierre got her big break playing a cheerleader on "Heroes," she toiled away on the direct-to-video third installment of Bring it On, playing — you guessed it — a cheerleader. I can't even imagine how much ABC Family, which has the rights to the movie, must have celebrated when Panettierre got famous, opening up a whole new world of promotional possibilities (I've seen a Read more
Choosing the competition documentaries for this week's Movie Night got me thinking about all kinds of competition movies, both fictional and real-life. In recent years, it seems, there has been a surge in youth-centric competition movies in particular, including Stomp the Yard, Bring it On, and Take the Lead (which also would have worked for last week's teacher movies challenge!). But I want to Read more
It's finally here — the weekend where you pack up, suit up, or eat up to celebrate the start of warmer weather. For many, that also means packing up the car and heading somewhere to celebrate Memorial Day. Staying healthy on vacation, no matter how short, can be difficult, especially when you're on the road. It's so easy to pull over and grab fast food or gas station fare instead of searching Read more
I wouldn't dream of traveling without my trusty plastic folder! Be it for business or pleasure, I recycle the same one, slightly larger than a standard piece of paper that I've used since my college days. Mine's hot pink so it stands out in my travel tote amid magazines and other goodies and extra sturdy with a Velcro flap so things stay in better than pocketed, paper alternatives.

Woroch says, "The general rule for prepared foods is that they are more expensive, and it's cheaper to buy the ingredients to prepare yourself." Read more
Everything about Moonrise Kingdom is unmistakably Wes Anderson: the hazy cinematography, the clever dialogue, and even the use of the director's favorite actors. Indeed, Anderson isn't leaving his comfort zone as a filmmaker, but Moonrise Kingdom is still a pleasure to watch. Set in 1965, the movie tells the story of Sam and Suzy (newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward), preteen pen pals who Read more
Fresh green peas are the first sign for Spring and since they have a short season, I always get my fill before they disappear come Summer. And just in the nick of time, I spotted a new recipe from Michelle Obama's upcoming book, American Grown. The First Lady's pea salad calls for peas, shallots, leeks, and mint, all tossed together with a healthy cream dressing. After shelling the peas, they Read more
