Disclosure: I received complimentary tickets to the show from Vee Corporation. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Today, Alex and I made our way to the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena in Green Bay to take Alexander and Ellie to see Sesame Street Live: Can’t Stop Singing.
This was my first time attending a Sesame Street Live event, Alex and Alexander attended a show back in 2010 when I was in NYC. I was so happy to be able to tag along this time and even more excited that we were able to get some free Meet & Greet Passes from a friend who wasn’t able to use them.
We arrived at the arena 90 minutes prior to the show to get in our Meet & Greet.
Alexander was beyond excited!
The kids got to snuggle with Elmo & Cookie Monster, and the Alex and I even got in on the action. From there we toured Sesame Street and took some additional pictures (stop by The Megalomaniac Mommy Facebook Page to see more!), and then we hung out in the Play Zone to see a few musical performances and warm up before the show!
All in all a good time was had by all. Ellie lasted the first 20 minutes of the show before passing out for a nap and woke up right as it ended. Alexander was glued to the show the entire time. Both Alex and I enjoyed the show and loved all of the different tunes….I am seriously regretting not buying the CD of the show so we can listen to them again!
Be sure to find out if Sesame Street Live: Can’t Stop Singing is coming to a town near you!
Our family never had the chance to get to the theater to see Brave on the big screen but I can guarantee that we will be watching it at home on the ‘big screen’ as soon as it comes out. This is a movie the entire family wants to see and we cannot wait for it to hit stores on November 13th 2012!
The exciting home entertainment debut of “Brave” will be available in multiple ways, containing exciting all-new bonus features that extend the breathtaking movie experience.
Be sure to stop back for more news on the release of this title!
In March, Alex, Alexander, Ellie, and I spent one Friday afternoon in a movie theater filled with other parents and kids, eating popcorn and sipping sodas. Our reason for being there….to see Dr. Suess’ The Lorax on the big screen. This movie was a hit with the 3 of us that day in the theater and now we are able to share it with the rest of the family! After our recent move into our new home, we curled up as a family and spent the evening watching The Lorax on Blu-ray.
Everyone loved it.
Ellie was in an trance watching it this time around. (She was just over 3 months the first time so she slept through most of it). All of the bright colors captivated her and she couldn’t take her eyes off the tv.
Not only did we love this movie, it really taught our little Alexander all about the environment and recycling!
The DR. SEUSS’ THE LORAX Blu-ray™ 3D Combo Pack also includes three brand new mini-movies including: Serenade – Two Bar-ba-loots — one love shy and the other suave and confident — battle for the heart of their would-be sweetheart with the help of a colorful cast of characters, including the Humming-Fish and Swomme-Swans.

Come hang out with Arnold, Gerald and the gang for more adventure-filled fun in the big city! Season Two, Part 2 delivers some of the best moments yet when Arnold enters an eating contest, Rhonda gets glasses, Phoebe becomes a power-hungry hall monitor, Helga uses Stinky to make Arnold jealous and more!
Once again, the gang is back in our home and I am reliving Hey Arnold! Zack & Libby have really enjoyed sharing Arnold and his friends with the 4-year-old Alexander. My only complaint is now Alexander refers to everyone as Football head!
Hey Arnold!: Season Two Part 2 features 10 original episodes from the second season of Nickelodeon’s Hit Animated Series on DVD from Shout! Factory.

The sweet and adorable Twinkle Toes character that girls have come to know and love overcomes her most secret fears and learns to celebrate her individuality with energy, pizzazz and super-cute shoes!
Filled with music, friendship, laughter and heart, parents and their daughters will want to watch Twinkle Toes: The Movie again and again. This charming story of courage, self-expression and finding the “sparkle” within will inspire Twinkle Toes’ legions of fashionista friends to develop their own talent and achieve their dreams.
The animated star of SKECHERS’ Twinkle Toes footwear line, Grace “Twinkle Toes” Hastings, is a fashion icon for the under-13 set. Hip, flamboyant and original, Grace embodies a combination of sparkle, sass and style, which has made SKECHERS’ Twinkle Toes footwear a favorite of celebrity kids and fashion divas alike. The SKECHERS Kids collection, including Twinkle Toes, is currently the number one children’s footwear brand in the United States.
SYNOPSIS
Twinkle Toes: The Movie is a sparkly, fun-filled adventure that will make audiences want to get up and dance! Grace “Twinkle Toes” Hastings has a big secret: she gets terrible stage fright in front of anyone except her fluffy friend Walter. As Grace works to overcome her fears, and makes some super-cool friends at her new school, she discovers that it’s OK to be herself and shine!
I sat down over the weekend with Libby, Alexander and Miss Ellie to watch Twinkle Toes and found it to be a quite enjoyable flick. It is a great movie for those aspiring dancers in your life and it even got my kidlets up off the couch and dancing along with the movie, especially this scene when Grace AKA Twinkle Toes gets her new shoes.
After seeing my kids get up and dance along and showing more interest in dance, I would recommend this movie to any parent who encourages their child to dance. Both the Alex and I enjoy watching dance shows and hope that someday we can take a dance class or two as well. Until then, I will just keep dancing in the comfort of my home with the kids!
You can find Twinkle Toes: The Movie in select stores or grab it online.
Also, please feel free to download and print this great Twinkle Toes coloring sheet too!
