Free Things To Do Over Spring Break
My kids are on spring break this week and already they are complaining about being bored. We are taking a big vacation later this year, so that doesn’t leave a lot of extra money for splurging on activities to keep them occupied this week while they are off from school. Fortunately, I have a great list of free things to do over spring break to help keep them busy. Each day, my kids take turns picking an activity off the list. Go on a picnic. Have a tea party. Fly a kite Stay in your pajamas all day and watch movies. Bake chocolate chip cookies and surprise your neighbors with a plate of home-baked cookies. (Of course make enough so you can have some yourself.) Camp out in your backyard overnight. Go geocaching or letterboxing. Chances are there are some hidden right in your hometown. Go on a long bike … Continue reading

The New Pixar Movie Brave – Does It Live Up to the Hype?
My husband and I took the kids last night to see the new Pixar movie Brave. I tend to love Pixar movies, even when I really didn’t have any desire to see them in the first place (i.e. Toy Story). My two youngest girls loved it, but I have mixed feelings about it. Parts of it were beautifully done, but I don’t think it was Pixar’s finest work. Brave Summary (from IMDB.com): Determined to make her own path in life, Princess Merida defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. Granted one wish, Merida must rely on her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse. Things I loved I thought the music in Brave was hauntingly beautiful. I love Celtic music. The animation that showed the Scotland countryside was gorgeous. Merida, the main character, is a bit rough around the edges and doesn’t really fit … Continue reading
A Wicked Good Time Seeing Wicked the Musical
I have a list of Broadway musicals that I just have to see when they come to the Schuster Center in Dayton, Ohio. Recently that list increased by one. My heart has been captivated by the story of the Wicked Witch of the West. If you haven’t had the chance to see Wicked the Musical yet, you don’t know what you are missing. The amazing songs and spectacular sets left me feeling like a little kid again, staring at the stage in awe the whole time. If you are only familiar with The Wizard of Oz, you don’t know the whole story. Glinda, the good witch, is actually vain and self-centered. Elphaba, who becomes the wicked witch, is actually kind-hearted, passionate, and always striving to do the right thing. Wicked the Musical takes everything you know about Oz and turns it inside out. Based on the book , by Gregory … Continue reading
