Professional Bull Riding
Comes to NYC
Madison Square Garden

 It’s not often that the subject of Professional Bull Riding comes up in our house or in the NYC area. It was thrilled to find out that The Professional Bull Riders would be coming to NYC this coming new year! My family is so pumped to get a chance to join into the action and fun of seeing LIVE Bull Riders try to top each others time scores! The kids have been checking out the riders online and getting ready for the fun!

Kidlandia Where Kids Rule Their Own Kingdom

Kidlandia
Where Kids Rule
Their Own Kingdom
One thing that always attracts me to something is being able to personalize it!
My oldest son’s name is Louie and when he was a young child it was always so discouraging to look at personalized products and not see his name on the list. My husband still says I chose Adam for my second son’s name because it was the first name on the personalization chart!
Everyone loves to see their name in print and on a special item. 
When I first heard about Kidlandia, I was thrilled. Kidlandia can be found at FAO Schwarz and online at Kidlandia.com. It is a company founded by Brian Backus, who has been following his dreams for years!
At Kidlandia, you can create maps, place mats, pillowcase, mugs, puzzles and more that are personalized to your liking. What I love about Kidlandia is that it’s more than just a name on a product. You or your child can choose an item and that’s where the fun begins!
Adam’s mug he created online at Kidlandia.com
Adam chose a mug, then the character and different features he wanted to be shown. He also designed the back of the mug. When it arrived in the mail he was thrilled to see his creation come to life!
Emily, after much narrowing down, decided on the pillowcase. 
She worked for a while choosing which names she wanted and where she wanted them. She titled the pillowcase Emily Island and featured everyone she could think of on her island! There was Daddy Lagoon, Mommy Lake, Pirate Adam’s Bay, Lake Louie, Emily River and more. She even used our three pets, Biscut, Pebbles and Sweetie Pie in different locations on the pillowcase. She let her creativity go and it was very simple to accomplish. I honestly do not think she could believe it when the pillowcase arrived by mail and she actually saw her work come to life! Needless to say, both the pillowcase and mug are getting a lot of use time!
Em checking out the map at FAO Schwarz NYC.
 Later that night, she chose the same map to create at home on a pillowcase.
We also had a chance to check out Kidlandia at FAO Schwarz in NYC. 
It’s located on the lower level and has easy directions 
to follow to get the job done. You can print out a fun map
 right at the store in just 3 easy steps! 
Step1: Select a design.
Step2: Personalize with names and pictures.
Step3: Prints out in 3 minutes!
So much fun!
Kidlandia gives your child a chance to create a personalized creation of their own that they can keep forever! For more info please check out Kidlandia.com
You can also check out Play.Kidlandia.com for online play! 
The game is so much fun! My children love it. It’s easy to play and fun to create.
The Kreechurs are loaded with surprises to keep the kids coming back for more.
