Recently we were approached by the folks at Pirate’s Dinner Adventure  with an opportunity to review their Pirate’s Dinner Adventure Christmas Show, “Pirates Take Christmas.” You can enter to win 4 tickets too! Enter below! I reached out to my sister to see if she would like to take her pirate-loving son for some holiday fun and here is what she wrote about her experience…

Pirate’s Dinner Adventure in Buena Park (across from Knott’s Berry Farm) is a dinner show experience like no other.

We took my pirate-obsessed son for his 3rd birthday and he was in awe the whole time.  So, when we got the opportunity to go again a year later, I jumped at the chance. Especially since we would get the chance to see the “Pirates Take Christmas” holiday extravaganza featuring Santa, Mrs. Claus and an elf, who are taken captive by the pirates. Well shiver me timbers!

The performance is so entertaining with impressive acting, singing and amazing acrobatics.  To get everyone in the Christmas spirit, the show includes some Christmas songs and the theater is decked out in holiday trimmings.

Holiday Gift Ideas for Older Girls

Recently my dear friend from college, Tara, Stella & Dot Stylist extraordinaire, sent my girls this super cute Poppy Bracelet Set from the Stella & Dot Girls’ Collection as a thank you for the hand me down clothes we passed on to her little daughter.  I think at some point I had heard that Stella & Dot had jewelry for girls, but I had never seen any before.  The bracelets are adorable, which is why I wanted to share in case you are looking for holiday gift ideas for older girls this holiday season.

Winter Fun at Kids Club!

I am a huge fan of the National Geographic Kids Club Cerritos events held monthly for kids ages 3 – 12 at the Los Cerritos Center for many reasons.

First and foremost, the folks over at National Geographic sure know how to put on a great educational event and the Kids Club events are completely FREE for families to attend.

So as if that wasn’t reason enough to love Kids Club, this month they are throwing in an extra reason to love them because the first 50 kids to attend Saturday’s event will receive a free pass to the Queen Mary’s CHILL (which I hear is supposed to be chill-mazing!)

But, it doesn’t have to be that way. With a little planning and perspective, you can find more peace this year with these tips on how to avoid holiday stress.
