During Bloomfield Farmer’s Markets on June 30, July 21, and Aug 18, they are offering “Let’s Grow Together,” which is a booth for kids to stop by and fill a pot with seeds and starter plants to take home and care for until the Rain Garden is ready for them to plant them.

Be a Superhero Campaign

Is There a Superhero in Your Life?

They may not leap tall buildings in a single bound or catch the bad guys, but there are superheroes amongst us - everyday, walk-around kinds of superheroes who inspire possibility, exploration and joy in the people in their lives.

If you know a dad or granddad who is a superhero to the children in his life, help his "virtue" reach even further this Father's Day with a donation in his name to the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh's Be a Superhero Campaign. The Museum created this campaign three years ago to ensure that economically disadvantaged children and families can visit the Museum and enjoy experiences that spark creativity, curiosity and a love of learning. A gift of $10 supports one child’s admission, while $100 supports admission for 10 children - so everyone can be a superhero to a child in need.

To honor the amazing fathers in your life with a gift to the Be a Superhero Campaign, just click here to donate or call (412) 322-5058, x241.

P.S. Since even superheroes have to eat, you might consider giving the dad in your life a very special dinner at Casbah restaurant on June 23! Learn more here.

Cirque: in Review

I was super excited a few months back, when a production company contacted me about promoting their Cirque du Soleil show that was coming to Pittsburgh!

They asked me to check out the show and, as you probably already know, gave us a family 4-pack of tickets to give away!

 {Lucky winner - Michaelena} =)

Cirque du Soleil TOTEM was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!

The acrobatics, the athleticism, the concentration.....how do humans do those kind of stunts?!

You may have seen the giant tent go up in the Strip District.

 It's hard to see in this pic, but there was a giant screen built into the floor that was incredible.

The live music, the sound effects, the dancing, the singing.....such a fun show. One thing I didn't expect was that there was also a lot of humor built in and was quite funny as well! 

It was very loud with lots of bright flashes and noises, so I don't know that I would recommend bringing children that were very young.

Thank you Hadley Media!

You can still book tickets here.
