The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
This past week, Peyton and I had the opportunity to attend a screening of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. I went into it with the expectation that it would follow the traditional Nutcracker with a little twist here and there.

Selma’s Dolls: Unique Ragdolls with a Purpose
Chances are if you have a little one at home you probably have a doll or two or a dozen around the house.

I Come From Arizona – A Children’s Theatre Production
This past weekend Peyton and I took in I Come From Arizona at the Children's Theatre in Minneapolis. I knew a little bit about the production and I was eager to see this with Peyton as I thought it would bring up some very good talking points and be a chance to teach her empathy for others as well as talk about the challenging times' immigrants are facing here, in the US, right now. The main focus of the play is Gabi Castillo, a precocious Mexican-American from the South Side Chicago. Based ...
