Big Apple Circus delivers in an intimate big top experience

Go big or go home? Not necessarily when you go to the Big Apple Circus. The Big Apple Circus is a more intimate version of Cirque de Soleil crossed with Barnum and Bailey Circus. I took my sons, ages 4 and 2, to see the circus with my 11 year-old niece who came to help. But between the clowns, the acrobats and the animals, they had us covered.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey bring Built to Amaze! to Atlanta Feb., 5-17

I was provided with a family 4-pack of ticket in exchange for this posting.  All thoughts are our own.  Elephants are really cool, so are tigers, lions and bears. It was on the way out of the last Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey show that our 3 year old said, ‘can we go back to the circus tomorrow’?   Ah, children and their concept of time, it’s precious.  However, in real world time I knew it would be a year before they came back and we’ll see how interested he is then.

Closing schools due to cold weather is wrong in Atlanta-here’s why

I live in Atlanta.  Atlanta doesn’t get too cold, it’s one of those cities where the schools close when we get an inch of snow under the shade tree in the middle of a field and TV news is covering it.  During the recent Polar Vortex, like many other cities in the country school was cancelled.  What Atlanta shared with some cities is that school was cancelled simply due to the cold.   What about the children who don’t have winter coats was the rallying cry on social media supporting the decision.

A visit to Festival of the SEAson at Georgia Aquarium

On a cold, rainy Sunday we received tickets to the Festival of the SEAson at Georgia Aquarium, featuring SCUBA Claus, the FantaSEA in Lights, Mermaid Performance and Seaside St. Nick. Not that you really have to convince our children to go see animals. This, however, was different – we were combining Santa Claus and animals – not to mention that this was the first family trip out together in at least a month, since the entire family has been sick with stomach flu, foot & mouth or colds since mid-November. To put it simply: excitement was off the charts.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer shines at Center for Puppetry Arts

As if we need another excuse to go to Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, my oldest son and I went to see the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.   It is so much fun to do mother-son dates now that he is 4 and can sit through short presentations.
