Circus Vargas REVIEW!!!

I went to see the Circus Vargas show at the Ontario Mills this past Friday. 

The show was AMAZING!!!  The energy from the performers and music filled the tent and everyone in the audience took in the energy and gave back.


My sons favorite parts were The Garcia Family Motorcycle Show and as my son put it THE SILLY CLOWN!  My favorites as a mom was before the show started they invite all of the kids (5 and under with their parent) to the center ring and get them to try some of the circus acts like juggling and balancing.  Seeing the kids faces with accomplishment was amazing.  My son was timid to try, but for the next couple of days he remembered and wanted to try everything and would say "REMEMBER MOM...." , "I TRY" and he is in the stage of "WHY!".  Teaching my son about the team work, practicing, and being just SILLY like the clown was the BEST.


Some tips
  Get there early for the Kids Participation Introduction.
   I recommend getting the souvenir cup with slushy in it...It lights up and when the show is over    you can turn off the cup (on the bottom is a button) and take it home for future use!
  The show is 2 hours long with a 15 minute intermission. 


Below is the current schedule for Circus Vargas

They have just added HOLLYWOOD to their tour.  Check out their site for more information  click here

Moona Luna - Pinata Party REVIEW

Moona Luna - Pinata Party!


The first time I listened to it was while making breakfast. My toddler and I danced and moved through the kitchen to Brinca, Jump (featuring Dan Zane)!

I am loving their music!  Their English/Spanish bilingual songs make it so much fun for me and my toddler to dance to. 


My favorites are Quieres Bailar?, Tomorrow's Another Day (Manana Es Otro Dia), and I loved seeing De Colores (All the Colors) on the album since it has been one of my favorite songs as a child.


Check out their video Todas Las Comidas



Moona Luna will be at LA Times Festival of Books on April 30th and May 1st.

Ice Pop Joy Book REVIEW

Ice Pop Joy by Anni Daulter

When I received this book about two weeks ago I was so excited to try out the recipes.  I started reading the book and the recipes and I found everything to be easy to make.  My toddler looked over my shoulder and saw the pictures and said "I want some".

Anni Daulter method is simple.  Use organic fresh fruits and vegetables, use natural sweeteners, and get your kids involved. 

Since my toddler showed interest I had him pick out a recipe.  He chose "Vincent's Chocolate Wonder"...it was meant to be.  He saw his name and he said "I want THAT one!"

I chose "Orange Joy" since we just went Orange Picking in La Verne and got ourselves a little juicer.

We went to the grocery store, did our shopping, put on our aprons, and started to work.  I had him chop up the chocolate (with a small butter knife) and squeeze the oranges. 

We LOVED them!  Now he wants to try other recipes.  I know soon we will be trying our own combination.
