My daughter dislikes shopping.  A. Lot.  She doesn’t like trying things on in changing rooms, she doesn’t like waiting in line.

Therefore I spend a great deal of time shopping for her, either in the store or online.  She is so not a fashionista.  If she could wear sweat pants and a graphic tee all day every day, that would be her outfit of choice. 

So I’ve been trying to encourage her to ‘improve’ on her fashion choices.

When I was growing up, 3D technology was akin to red-and-blue cardboard glasses that were taped on the side of a Slurpee cup. Now it seems it’s rare for a movie to be released only in 2D with no 3D counterpart to view it in. But is 3D the best choice for families?

My husband and I, for one, love 3D movies; we even have a whole 3D system set up in our home. But our daughter doesn’t like 3D movies at all.
