Paige and I have the pleasure of interviewing Leigh Anne Tuohy, the real mom behind the story of The Blind Side movie. If you haven’t seen this movie already, GO! Its fabulous. And, take the family! If you don’t know the story, Leigh Anne and her family took in and eventually adopted a homeless teenager. Through hard work, love and devotion they helped him achieve not only a college scholarship to ‘Ole Miss, but an NFL contract. This is the true story behind NFL Baltimore Ravens Offensive Lineman Michael Oher. Leigh Anne and this story will truly inspire you as a mother and a human being! Check out our website to see the special featurette from the movie! Thank you to Leigh Anne and Warner Brothers for making this interview possible and for brining us this great movie! Thanks to Dixie for sponsoring our show!

00:43 An Interview with Leigh Anne Tuohy!
Going to a movie this week? The Blind Side has to be the one you see! Paige and I both saw this movie and LOVED it! It is one of the best movies of the year and the perfect family movie for the Thanksgiving holiday. But it isn’t fluff. There is real substance here and I can only hope that everyone else has the opportunity to see it. Leigh Anne Tuohy took a chance and acted on her instincts as a mother. She made a difference in the life of a young person. We should all hope for an experience such as this. The movie was well done, well directed and well acted. Sandra Bullock was fantastic! And, surprise! Tim McGraw knocked my socks off. He was REALLY good! Go. See It! You won’t be disappointed!
Watch the featurette on our website and look for show #391 – we interview the mom behind the story, Leigh Anne Tuohy!
