My husband and I approach the gate and smile as we take in the site of the blue and yellow big top. We are about to see the new performance, Amaluna, by Cirque du Soleil. I was invited to attend as a blogger so I meet and greet the press team and then I am given my tickets for the show.

As a mom of three who loves reading and who sells children’s books, there are a lot of books that come my way on a daily basis for review or comments. Some are not in relation to my blog or my children, and some, quite frankly just don’t fit the bill. I take book reviews seriously when it comes to dishing out money for a book for your children’s education or for your 2-3 minutes of time alone in between taking care of your family and the day to day mama chores.

One of my little ones got a hold of the digital camera the other day. This is his view of a perfect summer day:

I don’t know about you, but this time of year feels like everything is passing at warp speed! Even with my tips I still feel that there are not enough hours in the day.

It’s no secret in our home that Papa MOE is the worst eater in the bunch. Friends and family have poked fun at it for years, and I have tried with him, like a Mama tries with her children, to get him to eat better. It’s not that he eats terrible food. Whatever I’m making is what’s for dinner, so the main meal is healthy. But Papa MOE…just can’t get himself to eat vegetables.
I’m not joking.
