The Zookeeper's Wife & $25 Fandango Giveaway


This seems like an extremely timely post as our family just visited the zoo!  I wanted to share with you a preview of The Zookeeper's Wife starring Jessica Chastain and Daniel Bruhl, it looks so good!  It will be released 3/31.  It is based on a true story of Antonina and Jan Zabinski, a Christian couple and zookeepers in Warsaw, Poland.  When the Germans invaded and World War II began, Antonia and Jan refuse to stand-by in the face of so much suffering and persecution.  They join the resistance, and use the zoo as a hiding place and refuge to save hundreds of Jews from the Nazis - risking their own lives in the process.

I'm so inspired by Antonina and the courage she had during a very difficult time in history.  It got me thinking about women in my life that inspire me when challenged with tough life issues.

I am so thankful for my Mom.  I must admit that I took her for granted during most of my childhood but I am extremely thankful for all the sacrifices that she and my father made for us growing up.  She worked hard, long hours at an exhausting job (as did my father) to help provide and care for me and my siblings.  I know that we were challenging and tough at times but hopefully my parents think their sacrifice was worth it.  This inspires me with my own kids.  Sure there are challenging days, but I am inspired to be the best for them that I can - be all that I can be!

Check out the trailer below for The Zookeeper's Wife and don't forget to enter the $25 Fandango e-gift card giveaway as well.
