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.

Discover the Dinosaurs is a traveling exhibit that features dinosaur attractions of a wide variety. The entire exhibition is broken up into two distinct areas. The exhibit area features the moving, roaring dinosaurs that will captivate your child’s imagination. The other areas like the Dino Dig, Dino Theater, Dino Den, Dinosaur Rides, inflatables, gem & fossil panning, mini golf and gift shop make up the other half. Our review of Discover the Dinosaurs says that it’s a great time for kids, but parents need to be aware of a couple things in order to really appreciate the event.

When they dropped off the 2014 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition for me to test drive I was immediately taken back by how big and red it was. Granted the red will vary, especially if yours is a different color. The size, however, will remain the same and it’s a big full size truck. “Wow, it’s like a TARDIS”, I said to the person dropping off the truck.
Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day are bookend holidays. You’ve got major religious holidays between them and all sorts of retail sales, family obligations and social events jammed in too. The bookend dates, and the New Years Resolutions that follow, highlight things that we could and in some cases should do every day. However we’ve become conditioned to think that if it doesn’t happen on that day then you have to put it off until that date next year in order to start again.

This is part of a compensated campaign. All thoughts are 100% my own. Having said that, I really do love giving my wife and family quality gifts, it’s even better when she gives you that look like “oh, I love it!”. Yeah, so Christmas is literally just around the corner. Do not freak out if you need to get a couple more items. Don’t even freak out if you need a personalized item that will blow the socks off of that special someone. Personal Creations has some of the most unique items on the market, can personalize all of them and your wife/girlfriend or you will love them.
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.

For our oldest son’s Halloween party at school we were responsible for the drinks, cookies and music. I asked my wife if she had Thriller on the MP3 player. Thriller is a lot of parent’s default Halloween music, more for the memories of the video than the music itself. It was then when I was about to dust off my moonwalk shoes that I found about a family friendly free Halloween music for kids playlist that Disney put out.
