Disney on Ice Princess Classics

We are a Disney loving family and the Disney on Ice Princess Classics did not disappoint. The show is jammed packed with all our favorite princesses and kept us entertained throughout the show.
I brought my six and a half year old daughter and my two year old son and both of them really enjoyed the show. My son was very scared and wanted to leave when the show first began because it gets dark and loud really fast. I planned ahead and brought a lollipop and he sat on my lap until he warmed up. Although, this is Princess Classics he was still able to really enjoy the show. The fun colors and music...Genie and the 7 dwarfs what's not to love!


I was disappointed to see the cost of the souvenirs at this particular event. A snow cone in a "keepsake" cup was $15, I recommend stuffing your kids to the gills before going otherwise the night can get a bit pricey.
The performers where fantastic it's incredible, I love watching ice skating they make it look so effortless. I loved seeing all the little girls dressed in there favorite Princess attire. And hearing them all yelling "NO" to Snow White when she was considering the apple. It was cute. The black lighting effect where fun during the little mermaid and the elephant and carrage with horses was equally impressive.
Do you want to catch the show before they leave town? You can catch the show at Oracle Arena the rest of this week into the weekend then next week in San Jose. Want to save money? Of course you do enter code MOM on Ticketmaster.com in the "MC Promotions" Box. The code is good for 4 tickets for $44 for Monday-Friday matinee shows, and $4 off Friday evening and weekend shows. In order for the code to be valid, you must purchase at least 4 tickets. Need to purchase more than four tickets? That's okay too any purchase above 4 tickets for the weekday show will still be priced at $11.


Thank You Mom Central and Feld Entertainment for sending us to the show!

Must See Sid the Science Kid

If you and your children have not watched the PBS show Sid the Science Kid I highly recommend turning it on. My kids love the show and it answers so many questions I don't always have the answer too. I recently did a review you can check out HERE.
Sid the Science Kid will be featuring a special episode on the H1N1. They will touch down on getting the shot, germs and staying healthy. I know so many people are on the fence about whether to vaccinate against H1N1 or not and I think whichever way you go this episode would be beneficial for you and your children to watch.
The H1N1 is a daily discussion everywhere we go and our children need to know the ways to help prevent the spread of germs. Unfortunately we had a all too real wake up call on how "real" the H1N1 virus is when a child from my daughter's school contracted the virus and died a few days before school let out. I know I want my daughter to watch the episode and will discuss and try to answer her questions.
The show will premier Monday, October 26th so mark your calendars! there will be a few rebroadcasts:

- Thursday – 10/29/09

- Sunday – 11/1/09

- Tuesday – 11/3/09

- Saturday – 11/7/09

- Wednesday – 11/11/09

- Thursday – 11/19/09

I hope you will find time to watch with your family.

Orglamix Cosmetics Review and Giveaway

I was given the opportunity to review some mineral eyeshadow from a Etsy shop called Orglamix. I jump at the chance. I love mineral make-up and love that she makes all her own products! She must be doing it right, since opening in July 2009 (yes just 3 months ago!) she has had over 800 sales that's incredible.


I chose to review the Twilight Collection. and when it arrived and I applied it I was surprised at how the vibrant the colors are. I like that I can chance the look from day to night just by adding more or not tapping off. You can go really subtle or bright and dynamic. Perfect for Halloween.
My daughter loved the make-up on me and told me how pretty my eye's looked... slightly envious. She may luck out and I may allow her to wear some for Halloween if the colors go well with her costume. These shadow have turned into my everyday shadows I love them so much. Thanks Classy Closet Review Panel (check it out to find more giveaways and more chance to win!) and Orglamix for the opportunity to review and host a giveaway.
