Disney on Ice Presents Dare to Dream
After our most recent experience at Disney on Ice, I was torn about bringing Bug along to Disney on Ice Presents Dare to Dream. In addition to his issues with the sound, this particular show focuses heavily on princesses. In fact, it tells the stories of Tiana, Cinderella, and Rapunzel. But when I asked, he…

International Women’s Day–Building Each Other Up
Today is International Women’s Day. As you may know, women’s rights and gender equity are extremely important to me. I am horrified on a daily basis by the message that is sent to women and girls that we aren’t smart enough, strong enough, or worthy. And not only do we get this message from men,…

A Sneak Peek at Disney Pixar’s Brave
I got my first look at Brave while in NYC for Toy Fair. Mattel has some beautiful dolls and play sets that go along with the movie. But now I can’t wait to see it! Merida, the lead character, reminds me of LadyBug with her wild curls and equally wild spirit. Brave is due out…

It’s a familiar theme, written in a new way with beautiful illustrations and a nicely narrated audio component. You can take it at your own pace or have it set to “auto…

First Fondue
Big Guy and I LOVE fondue. We were so excited to introduce the kids to fondue earlier this month! LadyBug loved the bread (which I made from scratch) and the kielbasa. She wanted nothing to do with the cheese! Bug tried the cheese and decided that he wanted “just a little” on his food. In…
