A blog about a mom in progress
When I was invited to a Thanksgiving play with my two young children, I was delighted and excited to take them to experience a little theater at such a young age. Some of my most treasured memories of theater are my grandparents and aunts and uncles taking me to Burt Reynold’s Jupiter Theater as a kid to see musicals. Festival of the Arts BOCA and PNC Arts Alive presented two free performances of “Tough Turkey in the Big City: A Feathered Tale,” on Saturday,
Hamilton! The sheer mention of this perpetually sold out show about the life of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton is enough to get our hearts racing as it comes to Broward Center For The Performing Arts Dec. 18-Jan. 20. Millennials to Baby Boomers and beyond are clamoring for tickets. Pretty much everyone I know is praying Hamilton tickets are their Christmas and Hanukkah gifts this year. People are sharing #HAMILTIPS on how to score tickets.
It’s fall in Florida and while it’s not quite sweater weather yet, we can all sure use some pumpkin-flavored fun to get us all in the mood for this sweet season.

Few things in Boca Raton have remained the same since the early 80’s when my family moved there from Long Island, New York. I watched State Road 7 go from miles of endless strawberry fields to dozens of shopping centers and thousands of homes. As a very little girl in the ’80s, I remember going to the only Carvel in West Boca Raton, FL. It is still the only Carvel in West Boca Raton.
Disney On Ice somehow keeps outdoing itself. Show after show, this brilliant production team behind the brand finds ways to make an already exciting show even more enchanting. “Mickey’s Search Party” skated through BB&T Center Sept. 16 with Disney character favorites including Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy and skating segments from “Toy Story,” “Beauty And The Beast,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin” and “Frozen,” however, with this show, Disney enhanced the magic by adding elaborate routines from “Coco,”

As a kid, I always took my school projects seriously. Whenever we had to do book reports, science projects or dress up for anything at school, I was always all in. I wanted to get that 100 percent. I needed that “A” and most of the time, I got it. Now that I’m a parent, that same competitive spirit still exists in me. However, with a two-month-old and a four-year-old to manage with a full-time freelance writing career,
As soon as my son Jack was born in 2014, I remember getting annoyed whenever people would tell me “Enjoy every moment. It goes by so fast.” I would get angry at them and think to myself ‘Oh, yeah, right. I’m up all night. I’m covered in puke. Oh, wait, I just got peed on.’ But the truth is, four years have gone by in the blink of an eye. And while I will never miss getting puked or peed on,
Back to School snack time just got a lot healthier with 100 percent juice with no artificial flavors, colors or added sugar. My son, Jack Henry, better known as @Tinystyleguy sampled Apple & Eve Organics juices and shared his thoughts via YouTube.

El Toro Loco, FTI Torque, Grave Digger, Ice Cream Man and Xtermigator are some of the beastly monster trucks that will be roaring through South Florida for the first-ever Monster Jam dirt show at BB&T Center August 11-12. The new show will require BB&T Center to be filled with dirt as 12-foot‐tall, 10,000 pound machines fly through the air. Seriously, just when you thought Monster Jam couldn’t possibly get any cooler, they add a new dimension to the competition to kick things up another level.
