Real Mountain Values started as a running joke between myself, Brianna Willis and my husband, Patrick. A certain politician ran a campaign that constantly discussed mountain values. To tell you the truth Patrick and I don't remember that much about the campaign other than every time we would see a sign or commercial we would discuss exactly what made up a mountain value... Shotgun weddings?

We would love to hear from you!

Got this from a Mr. Mouse. Heheh.

Movie Review: Little Red Riding Crap

If this was Red Riding Hood, I may have stayed awake for the entire movie.

Well, we have another winner this week in the contest of “The Crappiest Movie I’ve Ever Seen” Sweepstakes. Yep, it’s Red Riding Hood, “starring” Amanda Seyfried and Gary Oldman. What a crock.

When Brianna and I saw the trailer for this movie last year (I think it was at the Harry Potter movie), we both said, “Hmmm, well that looks like a pretty movie.” A long, flowing red cape against the backdrop of a snow-covered forest. This

Really Old Movie Review: Cars

Cars

RMV Rating: No Dirty Diapers

Yeah, it’s been a few years since Cars came out, but with McClain’s obsession with HotWheels and all other things car, we thought we’d watch it with him. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. I’m not sure where they got those cars that had eyes and could talk, but wherever they found them, they did a great job.

The plot, as you might expect, is pretty straightforward. Hotshot rookie car running for the “Piston Cup” must race in one final race to determine who wins the

More Convos from the Bungo

conversation

I admit, this week wasn’t the most original in terms of our discussions of American life, but we did manage to come up with a few conversation nuggets to hopefully add to your reading pleasure. One of the funnest things that has been happening for the last few weeks is that McClain is learning a whole lot of new words, which is really fascinating, and a lot of times, really funny. So as we continue to spread our wisdom on the blog, we’ll be adding some of McClain’s nuggets to the conversations. Of course, most of his expressions are

Another IPO That You Probably Missed in the News

This is the scene outside our house right now

This is the scene outside our house right now

In light of Facebook’s IPO this week, Brianna and myself have decided that now is the best time to finally make RMV public. So get ready, because Monday, we’re going to put out the opportunity for you to invest in Real Mountain Values and join us on this awesome ride that we’ve created. This IPO will generate not only some much-needed capital for some of the awesome projects we’ve got planned in the near future, it will, just like Facebook, literally create hundreds of millionaires overnight. Well, actually probably not.

Really Old Movie Reviews

It's green. What more can you say?

We just watched another riveting movie on Netflix last night: Green Lantern. This was about the sixth action-adventure movie in a row for us, so I think we’re going to change it up a bit and go with another genre for a while. But while I was watching this Oscar-worthy motion picture, I thought to myself, “Hey, we should do movie reviews for our Netflix rentals. Who cares if the movie is six months or 9 months or ten years old, maybe some of our readers would like to get a Netflix review of our movies.”

So here we are.

Sh*t Brianna Never Says

In honor of one of Brianna’s current favorite videos on the web, it is my duty to do a “Sh*t Brianna Never Says” list for you. I’m sorry my video-making skills are too substandard to actually make a real video, so you’ll just have to bear with me and read the list.

“I love when you fart”

“Yes! More cat puke!”

“That’s okay McClain. I never want you to tell me when you have a dirty diaper”

“Man. This ‘Walking Dead’ show sucks”

“No honey, you do too much work around the house already”

“Can you burp for me

Impossibilities Update: Couch Crafts

inventory

So here is where I am supposed to show you all the awesome things I have been crafting as I lay around babying my back…  Does homework count?

I’m not sure what exactly possessed me to take 15 hours of college credit, online, in the same semester I am having our second child.  Right…  What the hell do I think I am?  Superwoman?

So far the work itself hasn’t been horrifically challenging simply because it is the first part of the semester where you do review or learn basics. BUT (and this is a big but) online classes just take

A Few (Manly) Thoughts re: Pinterest

Yes, there is a desperate shortage of masculinity on this website. But I'm aiming to fix that.

Yes, there is a desperate shortage of masculinity on this website. But I'm aiming to fix that. Welcome to Manterest.com

Pinterest. Yes, you’ve all heard about it. It’s the next new craze to hit the outerwebs. Apparently with Pinterest, you can go to any website and if you like an image or the site, you can “pin” it to your “board” on your pinterest account. You can then look at this image again and/or share it with people that you know and people that you don’t know. And then it can be shared again, and again, and again. Basically,

To You:

Yes this is a Venus Flytrap

Yes this is a Venus Flytrap

We wanted to wish you the best holiday season with love from our Christmas decorated venus flytrap.  If you think that’s a little odd you can thank Patrick.  When I was in the midst of holiday decorating he suggested, “You should decorate my venus flytrap for Christmas.  I bet that has never been done before.”  I told him everything has been done before… Well I lost that bet.  Or at least couldn’t prove it through Google images.

So here you go world: Merry Christmas from Real Mountain Values… Venus Flytrap Style.
