For the last several weeks, everything in our house has been about Knights in Shining Armor, jousting and the like. When the boys found out that we were going to Medieval Times, they watched a few videos and got super excited!

The entire evening was a rousing success.

When you approach the castle, you enter and are immediately checked in. You’ll then have time to take a look in the gift shop or have a beverage while you’re waiting to enter the arena. You can also have a photo taken with the princess or the king. Each guest is assigned a Knight to cheer on. Ours was the Black and White knight. You are allowed to enter the arena as you are called by color. The process goes smoothly and quickly.

Guests sit in bleacher style seating with long tables in front of them. (Tip: go to the bathroom before the show starts – it could be hard to get out if you’re in the center of a row…plus you don’t want to miss one exciting minute of the action!).

You will have a dedicated server and you’ll eat everything with your hands! The boys thought this was too cool. Our menu consisted of:

Tomato bisque
Roasted chicken (an entire half a chicken!)
Freshly baked bread
Herb crusted roast potato
Sweet corn on the cob
Lemon pound cake
Unlimited soft drinks

As soon as the food is being served, the show begins. There are knights and kings and princesses and horses! The show starts with beautiful pageantry and the introduction of the knights, to which there is wild roaring and cheering throughout the arena. The knights participate in contests both on and off their horses, and our boys were simply entranced. There’s even a bad guy.

Finally, the winning knight fights the bad guy to the death. But don’t worry – it’s not gory or scary. Our knight, the Black and White Knight, won the day and the boys cheered until they were hoarse.

After the show we toured the castle grounds and the medieval village displays. We homeschool, so this was a perfect time for some education.

All in all we had a wonderful time and we can’t wait to go back. If you’d like to visit, you can check out this link to find a location near you.

A few days ago we received this hilariously funny “Watch Ya Mouth Throwdown” game to take a look at and share our thoughts with you.

Our thoughts? It’s hilarious!

This game is a little different than the original ‘Watch Ya Mouth’ game. It comes with a deck of Throwdown Cards that have different challenges on them (like putting the mouthpiece in your mouth, holding a pen or pencil in your teeth and drawing a picture).

The game comes with all sorts of fun “Props” from balls, to straws, to noisemakers guaranteed to make each throwdown a barrel of laughs!

And there’s one thing we can definitely promise: there WILL be drooling!

To get your own, go here on Amazon. This would make a super gift, or game to have on hand when you have company!

Christmas is a magical time for children, and to make it even more special, have Santa send your kids their very own package from PackageFromSanta.com!

It’s simple to order and personalize, and there are three packages to choose from.

Ours included a free personalized video and our little guy will also be receiving a phone call from Santa closer to Christmas.

You can get your package in three easy steps:

1. Choose your package

2. Personalize it

3. Watch your kid go bonkers!

The audience waited in eager anticipation. Everyone in the room could feel a palpable excitement, an expectation that something amazing was about to occur before their very eyes. And not a single soul was disappointed by Cirque du Soleil’s breathtaking show, OVO.

Ovo has been performed for more than 4.5 million people worldwide after its premier in Montreal in 2009 and now OVO is bringing this same incredible production to towns all over, giving families the opportunity to experience the phenomenon that is Cirque du Soleil.

“Ovo” means egg in Portuguese. And let’s face it, a lot of our companion creatures get their start right inside this very oval. The show is a non-stop amalgam of movement and dancing and acrobatic feats that you’ve never seen before and could not have conceived or imagined. This teeming ecosystem of creatures is surprised one day by an egg that appears in their midst, and they’re outrageously curious about this object that represents life to them.

But don’t think that there’s no story here: au contraire! An adorable ladybug and her companion embark on a journey of love and the whole audience falls in love right along with them.

The cast of “OVO” is comprised of 50 performing artists from 12 countries and the highlight of the show for us was what appeared to be a “Trapeze” act…only without the Trapeze.

Check out the trailer:

There are so many words that could describe this show: beautiful, sensual, exciting, physical, intense, entertaining…I could go on and on.

If you have the opportunity to see this show, run, don’t walk to grab your tickets. You won’t be disappointed! To see if OVO is coming to a venue near you, click here.

This is such a cool gift idea for a kid’s room! Available at Target and Target.com, there are several 3DLightFX nightlights that you can choose from. You’ll find Star Wars, Marvel Characters, Sports, My Little Pony and tons more.

This goes beyond a normal, boring nightlight. Your kids will love them!

When mounted to the wall with the cracked sticker, it will appear as though the character smashed through your wall! All Lights are LED lite and battery operated and use 3 AA batteries sold seperatly. They have a convenient ON/OFF/Timer switch, ideal for rooms with limited wall outlets. Don’t forget to buy one for each kid in your family!

3DLIGHTFX 3D Deco Lights are the perfect gift or just something special for your kids’ room. They have a full range of comic book, super hero, Disney Princess, sports and car lights that look as though they are popping right out of the wall!

We got the Hulk nightlight for our boys, and they are thrilled! Unfortunately, the photos we took disappeared when we did our last phone update! But I can tell you that for about $25, you can make your kids excited about going to bed, and that’s priceless! The nightlight comes with a sticker that easily attaches to the wall and makes it appear that the nightlight is “bursting” through the wall. So cool! And several of them actually have a “set” so that you can get a head and a hand or two. Our boys love their Hulk fist, and love showing it off to their friends.

Are you looking for a gift for your child that keeps on giving? Long after the Barbies have been put away and the toy trucks have lost their wheels, the gift of language will last for an entire lifetime.

Let’s face it – your kids have a wish list of toys that you go on an all-out hunt to find. Then several weeks later you find that these toys no longer hold your child’s attention, and they likely don’t aid in learning or spark creativity.

But how about a gift that keeps on giving? When you give your child a subscription to MuzzyBBC, you are literally giving them the opportunity to do better in life and in learning.

Studies have shown that learning language skills at a young age is far easier and important than learning as an older student or adult. For young children, another language simply becomes part of the fabric of their life.

Muzzy was developed by the BBC and has already introduced millions of children all over the world to the benefits of learning another language. Your child will be entranced by the fun character in the animated videos, and they won’t even realize that they’re learning. The advantages are too numerous to count.

Muzzy has 190 fun conversation and vocabulary games that will turbocharge your child’s language learning and have them begging for more. They will hang on the edge of their seats wondering what happens next to Muzzy, all the while learning a new language.

 And get this: your membership includes 7 languages! There’s English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Korean and Mandarin Chinese. You can access the program on any web enabled device, so when your kids have 10 minutes sitting in the car or a waiting room, they can have fun learning!
