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 ...
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.

It’s a Peppa Pig Extravaganza!
Living in the United States makes it hard to find much with Peppa Pig and her family on it. Though I will say over the past year I have started to see more of it. Peyton has been in love with Peppa, George and all her friends for years. We've watched every single episode more than once and I can even recite a few them from memory. But beyond the television and few stray toys here and there that has pretty much been it. Until.....Peppa Pig Live! Peppa Pig's Big Splash decided to tour the US. Oh ...

Real Life Mean Girls
Some days I look around and feel like I'm living in a real life version of Mean Girls. I thought that cliques and passive aggressive behavior was reserved for high schoolers. But evidently I was wrong. Very, very wrong. This past month has been extremely stressful and the true colors of people have come out more than I ever thought possible. In the first part of the month my personal life was hit with a huge blow. The school district we live in decided they were going to close 3 out of our 9 ...
