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.

The 2014 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition review

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.

Living life like it’s Thanksgiving Day with my New Years Resolutions

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.

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.
