We took the kids last night to Disney on Ice Dare To Dream. I can definitely say it did not disappoint. Here are few pictures from our show:

Yes, it was just as fun as it looks. I love how they are able to take a story and put it on ice. This years show had Princess and The Frog, Cinderella, and Tangled. It never ceases to amaze me. The kids love it and so did Bill and I. Dare I say it, but I think Will was more excited than Madison! Here is what the kids thought:

Look like something you want to do with your family? Just remember that you can get 4 tickets for $44 on Weekday Shows or Save $4 on weekend shows with code MOM!

Let me know if you see the show and what you thought of it!

If you are a regular reader, you will know that I am currently working on a campaign with Disney and Champions For Kids. I wrote a post about how we give back to our local community. We donate gift cards to St. Columbanus Parish through our church, we take part in a teddy bear drive for domestic violence shelters, and donate what is needed for the homeless. Madison’s school has also started a toy drive. However, the toy drive we participate the most in is through Bill’s work. This is 9th Annual Toy Drive there. Last year, they were able to collected $879.00 in cash along with toys that people brought in. In all, they were able to purchase and donate over 600 pieces of toys, clothing, and coats! They also were able to purchased 16 small family sized dinner preparation sacks, where they put spaghetti, sauce, corn, juice, and several other non-perishable foods to a handful of families who were in need of food. Bill’s company has less than 50 people who work for it, so this is awesome. The part that I love the most is that it was 2 men who came up with this. We’ve donated every single year, and it’s such a great cause. I can’t imagine a Christmas without enough food or presents under the table which is why it is important for family to donate.

With the help of Disney and Champions for Kids, my family and I were able to create a stocking for a child. Here is what our shopping trip looked like:

As you can see, Madison and I had a good time. As I stated in my pictures above, our original goal was to put together a “girl” stocking. However, we couldn’t find enough smaller things that would fit in a stocking in the price range I wanted. However, they had plenty of “boy” toy things that would perfectly fit in a stocking. Also, we have seen Cars 2 and loved it, so Madison and I had a good time picking things out. What I didn’t expect was that when we put the stocking together, it was going to be like playing Tetris. I definitely had to have a plan to get everything in! My son was super excited at our purchases, so I know that the child who gets this will love the stocking! It was hard to not put the entire store in my cart.

I love that I get to teach my kids about being kind and helping others. Thank you Champions for Kids and Disney for this opportunity!

Simba, Mufasa, Nala, Timon and Pumbaa are back and better than ever this fall when Disney’s “The Lion King” roars into homes for the first time ever in Blu-ray high definition and Blu-ray 3D! The Oscar®- and Golden Globe®-winning film’s highly anticipated home entertainment debut kicked off October 4 in celebration of the epic animated movie’s Diamond Edition release. I have a nephew who is in love with this movie, so needless to say that my sister was sooooo happy to see it be rereleased! Subway was also excited so through October 30, every purchase of a SUBWAY FRESH FIT FOR KIDS™ Meal will include a FREE reusable meal bag featuring iconic Lion King movie characters and a coupon for $5 off the purchase of The Lion King Diamond Edition Blu-ray Combo Pack at retail. How cool is that?

Since I am such a fan of The Lion King and Subway, I have arranged for one lucky reader to win their own Subway prize pack. In it, you will find a Subway Lion King kids meal bag stuffed with a $25 SUBWAY Card AND The Lion King Diamond Edition Blu-ray Combo Pack! Here’s what you need to do:

My kids and I were lucky enough to go to Disney On Ice presents Mickey & Minnie’s Magical Journey this past week. I am always a fan of Disney on Ice and the Disney On Ice presents Mickey & Minnie’s Magical Journey show does not disappoint. I am always amazed how Disney can reinvent this show every year and show us something new. I was very intrigued with how they were going to do this show, since it had no princesses! However, Disney pulled out some of our most favorite stories instead:

My kids and I loved this show. It held their attention, and I loved remembering these older stories. (Side note: When Will was born, Madison wanted to call him Stitch!) I think Madison and Will’s most favorite part was the huge alligator (see picture in the slideshow). Disney On Ice presents Mickey & Minnie’s Magical Journey is definitely worth going to see, and I highly recommend checking it out when it comes to your town!
