Sesame Place -A Great Summer Choice -Langhorne, PA

Sesame Place
A Great Summer Choice
Langhorne, PA
About 2 hours from NYC
I was very honored this year to be chosen as a Sesame Place Ambassador Blogger. It’s quite exciting for me, especially since I have been a Sesame Place fan for the past 21 years! 
It’s hard to believe that after all these years, our family still enjoys making memories at Sesame Place. Maybe it’s because my three children are all 8 years apart being 21, 12 and 5. Sesame Place is located in Langhorne, PA and so close to NYC! 
Every time our family thought they had seen the last of our favorite theme park, a new little one would come along. Don’t get me wrong, my older kids come along to share the fun with their little sister, but on the other hand, they never do complain about being there. It brings back memories for them of when it was their own Sesame Place magical time.
Recently, we visited Sesame Place and the day could not have gone any better!
We visited during Sprout Weekend! As part of Sesame Place’s events and concerts you can see many different venues of talent!
It’s very heard to choose just one. A few weekends ago we visited during the Lazy Town weekend and it was fantastic.
You can check out the Concert Series by Clicking Here! Although, most concerts are free, you have to book ahead online to reserve your spot! There are still plenty to choose from: Dan Zanes and Friends, PBS/Super Why Kids Weekend with Sid and Buddy,
Besides the great concert series, you can have plenty of fun for the full day! You will never go bored at Sesame Place.
Our day started with a special buffet breakfast that included a meet and greet will the characters from Super Why and Sean and Chica from Sprout! There are also a bunch of character dining experiences you can choose from. You can check them out here.
If you don’t want to dine with the characters, you can always catch a character on Sesame Street, at a show, or during the parade!
No matter how many times we visit, we never leave without seeing the parade! You won’t want to miss it when you are there.
It was great weather for swimming on our trip and the kids could not wait to hit the water. After breakfast we headed to a little splish splash time. What I love about Sesame Place is that there are so many different areas for water fun! You can choose what is right for your family. If you have toddlers, they will probably love the Teeny Tiny Tidal Wave(a wave pool for the little ones). 
After drying off, we headed to one of the shows, the parade and of course the game section (the kids had to try their luck before the ride home).
Did I mention we always stop for a yummy treat?
We have a great time every time we visit Sesame Place and it’s a park that just keeps getting better!
We love it and you will, too!
Open EVERY DAY this summer!

APASSIONATA “The Beginning” First Time In North America

by 1 Comment

APASSIONATA
“The Beginning”
First Time In 
North America
Recently, I had the chance to attend APASSIONATA with my family. I really had no idea about what to expect. I had never even heard about the show before. 
Our family does enjoy shows and horses are very high on the love list for my daughter and me. 
I must say that APASSIONATA surpassed all of our expectations. Over forty horses with many different talents entertained us for hours. 

There was a special VIP section where guests were served wine and a light dinner. Those guests were given a very close up experience being seated on the floor next to the entertainment.
There was not a bad seat in the house where you could not enjoy  APASSIONATA. 
Although APASSIONATA is new to the USA, it has entertained many during the past ten years in Europe. Now the US can enjoy the magical talents of this magical adventure.
Although the focus may be the horses, there are also many talented riders, trainers and dancers that bring the show to life.
The lighting is vibrant and the backdrop is constantly changing to take us through the journey.
We were surprised to see the different breeds of horses including Friesians and Bretons.
The music featured entertained our ears as the horsemanship entertained our eyes. It was very hard to take your eyes off this dramatic theatrical event.
APASSIONATA “The Beginning” is great for people of all ages. If you are someone who enjoys horses, or just a show that is out of the ordinary, you will love this show.
It hit every mood with the different acts, including excitement with horses jumping over fire, love between man and horse, skill, and adornment. Along with that you can see horses just running free chasing after each other and others able to perform difficult tasks.
All in all this show was a wonderful theatrical performance by horse and man.
If you have the chance to see APASSIONATA “The Beginning”, please don’t miss it. If you love horses, you will love this show!

TORY JOHNSON’S
SPARK & HUSTLE
Launch And Grow
Your Small 
Business Now
Available June 5, 2012
Being a classroom teacher for twenty years, I never really had any thoughts of being an entrepreneur. Since leaving teaching, the thought has crossed my mind more than once. Tory Johnson’s Spark & Hustle has really ignited my desire to follow
 my true passion in life. 
Working for myself and chasing my own dreams has always been in the background, something that seemed so far out of reach. I must say that after reading this book, I have had to rethink many of my excuses that have blocked to path to my own success.
Tory Johnson shows the world how to turn passion and purpose into profit!
I was so pleased to dive into Spark & Hustle: Launch and Grow Your Small Business Now, published by Penguin Putnam, as part of the Role Mommy Book Club. 
The book was inspired by thousands of past conference attendees who wanted a take home guide.That is exactly what this book is, a step by step guide to creating your own success where you are your own boss. 
What I loved most about the set up of Spark & Hustle is the clear cut organized path to success plan. In the words of a teacher, it’s a workbook to your own success!
Topics were touched upon from discovering your real spark and stepping outside of the box to make it a true success.
There are questions for you to answer that will guide you and checklists to help you keep track of your goals and the way to attain them. Tory Johnson has done all the legwork that would take you years to figure out. I just love it! 
Creating a one page business plan to guide your company’s launch  and tips about business laws had me feeling like I could “do this”.
After reading Spark & Hustle: Launch and Grow Your Small Business Now I felt empowered! I felt like I had the information I needed to get myself organized and heading in the right direction.
Spark & Hustle is available by clicking here.

Open publication – Free publishing
