This year they are really going the distance with the new circus show DRAGONS! Just the thought of it makes me fill with excitement! I’m not sure what to expect, but I know it will be sheer pleasure. My children are gearing up and counting down the days until the big night that  the circus comes to town.
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents DRAGONS is a once in a millennium event that honors The Year of the Dragon. Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson will preside over the fantastical celebratory tournament of circus champions that brings together mystic dragon lore with authentic circus feats. DRAGONS is a never before seen blend of renowned spiritual and real life legends.
Join the fun as you watch the Shaolin Kung Fu Warriors, charging Cossack riders, magnificent Asian elephants, fierce tigers and more.
The excitement is endless as tribute is paid to the dragon.
Don’t forget that Ringling Bros. DRAGONS opens an hour before the show starts so you can enjoy the All Access Pre-show! It is FREE to all ticket holders to the circus show. You can get right down on the circus show floor, grab some great pictures, autographs, learn about juggling and balancing skills and watch as  an Asian elephant paints a one-of-a-kind art piece.

J&Rjr. Now Open
1 Ann Street
NYC
212-238-9000
Recently, I had the pleasure of getting a glimpse of the 
brand new J&Rjr. located in NYC. It was a wonderful day spent with fellow publishers of Macaroni Kid and fellow bloggers with Momtrends. 
As if J&R was not already great, the new J&Rjr. addition is just as wonderful. My daughter charged through the aisles of the stores and was making a list of things she needed. There were plenty of things to choose from, that’s for sure.

      In the house we had the pleasure of meeting Jason Friedman, whose parents started J&R Music World 40 years ago. Continuing the tradition, Jason is behind J&Rjr. -how wonderful!

I can tell you first handed that this store is perfect for the younger crowd. The children present at the event were treated to a magic show, princesses, and a sample of The Amazing Max. The oldies were treated to Mimosas and brunch in the morning and a choice of drinks and lunchies throughout the afternoon. 
You can sign up for the J&Rjr. newsletter by clicking here!
You can check out the online site by clicking here!
At J&Rjr. you can find anything from toys, to clothing, all baby needs, electronics and more. There is also an event room that will be hosting many fun get togethers for children.
Our family loved J&Rjr. and of course we did not leave empty handed. Emily fulfilled some of her list with puzzles, paints and a stuffed animal. Of course, she told me we were going back to the doll section! If you are in the NYC area please be sure to stop into J&Rjr and take a look. You’ll love it, I promise!
Disclosure: Special thanks to J&Rjr for event and goodies.

Review: Monster Jam

Review: Monster Jam
Although I do have a 5 year old daughter, being a BoyMom for 21 years
 has given me a chance to explore my more
 adventurous side, to say the least. So when Monster Jam comes around, we are always in the house. 
Honestly, I can’t wait for it! It’s always an event filled with extreme energy that cannot be contained.
This year we had the pleasure of entering the Pit Party, an event that happens before Monster Jam. We had access to meet all of the drivers as they stood in front of their Monster Trucks! 
It was thrilling to see up close just how enormous those Monster Trucks really are.
We met up and got to chat with quite a few of the drivers. Most said they have been behind the wheel for quite some time. 
But the Pit Party was only the beginning of the fun. If you do go to Monster Jam, you can purchase Pit Passes at about $10 a person in addition to your regular ticket. It’s well worth it. If that’s not in your budget, don’t worry, you can still catch the drivers after the event. They usually are available for autograph signings.
As for the Monster Jam event itself, it could not have been any better. There is nothing more exhilarating  than watching your favorite truck come out and CRUSH a bunch of other cars. At our event they was high up in the air and the donuts(trucks going in a circle) were superb! As for me, my favorite part is the free style where the truck has 60 seconds to do what they choose. What a treat!
You can check out more about Monster Jam here! Don’t miss it when it comes to your area.
PS. Don’t forget your earplugs!

Harlem Globetrotters- Fun For The Entire Family

The Harlem Globetrotters
Fun For The Entire Family
Yesterday my family and I had a chance to take in a  Harlem Globetrotters game at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. I have been a long time fan of the Globetrotters and loved the cartoon on television years ago.
When I worked at the Meadowlands Sports Complex, I used every break to peek in at the Globetrotters during practice and their game.
So, yesterday was pretty special to me. Getting to sit down and watch the Globetrotters in action for the entire game was quite a treat! 
The combination of basketball skills and comedy was just right. It amazed me to see the team clowning around one minute and orchestrating a complex move the next. The team members danced, joked, jumped into nets, and carried each other on their backs. The audience was wild with clapping and laughter. There was also dancing to YMCA and of course everyone cheered to the music of Sweet Georgia Brown.
We also laughed non-stop when Globie entered the basketball court. The Globetrotters mascot was filled with surprises that had the people on their feet with laughter.
If you have a chance to catch the Harlem Globetrotters don’t miss out. You will not regret it!
