Review – GIFTED HANDS: THE BEN CARSON STORY
February 5th, 2009 | 
Author: I usually like the movies and original series that TNT produces, which is why I was elated when I was asked to review this movie. I decided to review it here on my homeschooling site because, although it is not about homeschooling directly, it shows the same values that we all hold. It shows a mom who “homeschooled” her sons while they were going to and failing at the Public schools. It was because of her non-tradtional way of teaching them and pushing them that made her son Benjamin Carson that great man that he became.
Oscar® Winner Cuba Gooding Jr. and Kimberly Elise
Star in TNT’s Inspirational GIFTED HANDS: THE BEN CARSON STORY,
A JOHNSON & JOHNSON SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATION® Movie
GIFTED HANDS, Based on Pediatric Neurosurgeon’s Moving Memoir,
To Premiere Feb. 7 at 8 p.m. (ET/PT)

Family Game Night @ Time To Play Mag – Party & Giveaway!!!
Some of my best memories are playing games with my family, both when I was a child AND now that I have children. Some of my favorite games to play as a kid where Yahtzee!, Scrabble, Uno, and Trivia Pursuit (although I”m much better at playing Trivia today than I ever was as a kid LOL!). I can remember no matter how many games or hands of cards we played, I was always begging for “Just ONE more!!” Of course if who ever I was begging gave in to my request, they’d get more begging after that game was done! LOL! Now, my sons are the ones begging for just one more game. Which usually makes my mom burst into laughter and tell me it’s my “comuppance”.
