I had wanted to see Storks when it was in theaters a few months ago. I don’t remember hearing much about it before it was about to be released, and then it was gone almost as quickly. Apparently it made a decent enough amount of money, so why didn’t I hear much more about this?…
The annual Washington State Fair, or “The Fair”, or even “The Puyallup” is one of the largest in the nation, and part of that is due to its concert lineup. This year The Fair will run from September 1 through September 24 (closed Tuesday and Wednesday) with concerts most, if not all of those days….
Sesame Street characters Elmo and Abby Cadabby are going to be at Southcenter Mall this Saturday, February 4 as part of the Sesame Street: K Is for Kindness Pop-Up Tour event from 11 – 4. A 15-minute live show will be performed at 11:30am, 1pm and 2:45pm. This is a free event and partly timed…
So I picked up Dropkick Murphys new album. And I decided to spring for the deluxe edition. This comes with a 26 page book featuring lyrics, photos and more. I was looking forward to this item.

What is it about this show I like so much? I mean, it’s a fun, silly show that is aimed at kids, but I am enjoying the heck out of it. Maybe it is the fact there are no pretensions about trying to be something it isn’t. LEGO Nexo Knights follows the adventures of some…
James Patterson has co-written a large number of books. He is almost more brand than author at this point. And this is where the Middle School series of books comes in. Co-written with Chris Tebbets initially there are installments co-authored (and I use that term loosely, because I’m pretty sure Mr. Patterson doesn’t do much…
Yes, this is Monday. I know this is late. This post was actually ready to go up on Friday, but I was busy getting ready to go to Cub Scout Winter Camp. And that will be a separate post. Here are a few pictures of the kids and what they have been up to recently….
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, and chances are you haven’t, you will have noticed a drop in the frequency of direct parenting related posts. It isn’t for a lack of content. Just this morning Tevye took off his pajamas and underwear to dance – because last summer watching the gymnastics he…
