Billy Elliot has arrived in the 'Burg and you don't want to miss it! I attended the opening night performance Tuesday and I was blown away. It made me laugh, made me cry, and gave me the chills in my book when you add those 3 things together the sum is a perfect show.
I had heard of Billy Elliot before but I wasn't really sure of the plot line or had never heard any music from the show. Here is my brief attempt to summarize the plot.

Those of you who know me know I LOVE the theater, going to see a show is one of my favorite things to do with my daughter. Emilee’s first show was Annie in 2003. After that first show, she was hooked and since then we have seen at least 20 shows in Pittsburgh.
More recently we have been trying to see shows when we visit NYC. On our first visit to NYC we learned about the Wicked ticket lottery from a mother and her daughters we met while we were waiting in line to get on the set of... Lake Erie Shores and Islands ~ Perfect Family Getaway
Can you believe it is the middle of August already???? As much as I am ready for school to start, I am also sad that it flew by me so fast this year.

LEGO KidsFest... Enjoy a Relaxing Night In Pittsburgh at The Fairmont Hotel
A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of enjoying a complementary evening at the Fairmont Hotel in Pittsburgh and it was just what I needed to relax and unwind after a very busy week in NYC for the Toy Fair.
Over the last few years I have had the pleasure of staying at lots of fantastic hotels when I travel, the comfy pillows and inviting decor of each one is always what I enjoy the most. It never occurred to me that I could get the same experience without even having to leave my city!... Madagascar Live in Pittsburgh ~ Buy One Get One Free!

If you are a frequent reader of my blog, you know I love the theater and live stage shows. I have been taking my daughter to shows in the Pittsburgh theater district since she was about 7 years old. Now that she is a bit older we enjoy seeing shows in NYC (WICKED!!!) but I love that we can see the same great shows here in our hometown of Pittsburgh. (WICKED!!!) We are very fortunate to have the Cultural Trust here that is constantly bringing quality entertainment to our hometown.

You Are Never Too Old For Build A Bear Workshop
“You are never too old for Build A Bear Workshop” ~ words right out of the mouth of my 13 year old daughter that I loved hearing. I believe you are never too old for many things, Santa, Disney, lollipops, cotton candy and teddy bears are just a few. Thats why I love Build A Bear Workshop so much, it brings out the child in each of us and touches a place in our hearts that we sometimes “get to old for”
Build A Bear Workshop recently invited me to visit my local store...
