Winner of the Nickelodeon's Parents' Pick Award for "Best Children's Theater in Los Angeles," and named "Best of LA" by LA Parent and Los Angeles Magazines, now in its 7th year, the critically acclaimed "A Faery Hunt" is one of the most loved family shows in Los Angeles. The original tales carry simple but often forgotten life-messages including kindness, forgiveness, respect for nature, and tolerance. With the help of the faery folke, the children embark on an exciting adventure to assist the faeries on a quest for the Faery Royalty. In a gentle and fun way, the audience actually become part of the story. The shows are for children, boys and girls, and the young-at-heart. Most of the children come in costume -- it is not required faery fun. There is something in the show for the whole family -- beautiful faeries for the girls, action scenes for the boys and topical humor for the parents.   Groups and birthday parties are welcomed. http://www.afaeryhunt.com/  818-324-6802.

FREE Mt. Baldy Scenic Ride Ticket

We went last year in July and I was nervous at first.  It is a 15 minute ride each way with gorgeous views.  My toddler sat on my husbands lap (a requirement for his age) and I was still nervous.  My toddler loved it!  He pointed at different plants, birds, and squirrels.  He loved waving at the other people coming the opposite direction.


On top it is 10-15 degrees cooler.  We ate lunch and hiked...then took the ride back.  They have a restaurant on the top which I hear have great nachos.

Pocoyo - Let's Party DVD - REVIEW!!!!

Pocoyo - Let's Party DVD

Anybody who knows me can tell you that I love parties!  My son is just learning about buying gifts for others.  He tells me "Mom can I try out the toy before giving to ...."  I laugh to myself at how he thinks.  He is starting to enjoy giving and making gifts for others.

I love Pocoyo for how simple it is and how it interacts with the audience.  So when I was invited to review this I jump to the chance!  In this DVD Pocoyo discusses everything from inviting friends, party entertainment, making gifts, and sharing.  We loved the DVD!!!
