I am a highly educated woman living in the United States of America. My daughter started kindergarten this fall. She's already talking about college and all the fun she anticipates having in the years to come. For us this is normal. We send our daughter's to school without a second thought. We live in a country where girls are required to attend school or be homeschooled just as we require the boys. There are no separate rules for girls. We are fortunate that this mentality is our norm. Some are ...
Zootopia: A Place Where You Can Be Anything
Last night Peyton and I were lucky enough to get into a sneak peak of Zootopia! And when I say we were lucky I am not kidding. The place was packed! When we arrived an hour and a half before the start time the line had already formed. There were about 50 people ahead of us. And here I thought we were going to be the first ones there. Boy was I wrong. All the children in line were extremely excited to see Zootopia. Peyton has seen numerous trailers for the movie and her favorite character is ...
My Ipsy February Bag Has Arrived!
Every month I look forward to my Ipsy bag arriving. Sometimes it's the middle of the month. Sometimes the end of the month. I never know when my little bright pink bubble mailer is going to make an appearance in my mail box. But when it does I sure do get excited! This month was just an ok bag, there's a few things I will probably not use. But that's the beauty of the IPSY bag. I get to try products I would normally not buy and see how I like them. The little bag this month is super cute. I ...

Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker
If you spend anytime with Peyton you know she is theatrical. She also loves to take in live performances whenever she gets a chance. Typically we see plays but when the chance to see Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker I just had to jump on it. I've never been to a ballet either and have always wanted to. I had no clue what to expect but I was excited. When the big day arrived I dressed Peyton in an adorable dress and we headed off to the historic Orpheum Theatre. Once we found parking and ...
Bear Snores On
Peyton loves theatre so I try to take her to whatever performances we can get to. Stages Theatre is one of our favorite places to attend shows at. Why? Because the actors and actresses are children! Yes, there are some adults but for the most part there are kids acting at Stages and putting on incredible performances. Last weekend we took in Bear Snores On. You may have read the book, Bear Snores On, it's very popular in the preschool and kindergarten crowd. Peyton was thrilled to see one of her ...
