On our first visit to Walt Disney World my 4 year old daughter had set a goal to meet EVERY princess. Like every naive first time Disney World visitor I told her it would be no problem. Little did I know! After I made my promise to my little I emailed our travel agent and asked if there was a list of the princesses and locations. I thought this would be easy. Boy was I wrong!! Did you know that certain princesses are only at one of the parks! And then there’s certain costumes worn at ...
The Jungle Book
I'm sure you have all heard Disney's The Jungle Book opened last weekend. It was huge success! #1 at the box office and I can proudly say we were one of those families that took in the wildly popular movie this past weekend. My family LOVES The Jungle Book. We've read the book, seen the dvd and been to see it live. Now here was a chance to see a version with a real little boy playing Mowgli. We just had to make time to see it opening weekend! Since it was opening weekend we were also treated to ...
Never Be Left In the Dark
It's Spring time and heading into Summer time shortly. We have already seen volatile weather all over the place. And what happens when the weather turns nasty? Power outages. I find it distressing to be in the middle of a storm and be without power but I become even more stressed if I'm in the dark. As you all know I also have a little one. Peyton cannot deal with being in complete darkness. I have several night lights throughout our home so if she does wake up in the middle of the night there ...
Marvel Universe Live!
Peyton has been enthralled with superheroes for some time now. When I saw that Marvel Universe Live! was coming to the Twin Cities I just knew I had to get tickets for us. When I first went online and priced out the event I nearly had a heart attack! But then I remember a site I like to use for entertainment events. Goldstar, it's like Groupon for entertainment and shows. So I kept my eye on Goldstar and hoped they would have tickets to Marvel Universe Live! And sure enough they did! I was able ...
Challenge Your Mind
If you are looking for a fun and creative gift for a birthday party I suggest the Back Spin double sided puzzle. This is unlike any puzzle we have every tried before. It reminds me of a cross between a rubix cube and a puzzle. And it's double sided! So how does this work? Well, on both sides of the puzzle there are colored pods, in each pod 3 balls fit but the trick is to get all 3 balls in the color of the pod! The only pod that should have 2 balls is the purple the rest should all have three. ...
The Princess Twins and the Birthday Party
Peyton is just learning to read so I am always on the lookout for a good book to help her become excited about reading on her own. The Princess Twins and the Birthday Party is a level 1 reading which is perfect for those children just learning to read on thier own. I would say the reading level of this book is end of kindergarten or first part of first grade. Some kids maybe more advanced and able to easily read this book before then but from what I've seen in my daughter's classroom I would say ...
