Angelina Ballerina The Musical Ticket (Four pack) Giveaway

ang_marquee

You've seen a lot about Angelina Ballerina here on The Culture Mom.  My daughter was obsessed with her when she was 3, 4, maybe even 5.  When she left that phase (she’s 7 now), I was kind of sad myself.  The sweet, innocent mouse introduced my daughter to ballet.  Her books taught her valuable lessons and morals.  I think that she is a wonderful role model for little kids. Which is why I am happy to announce to you that the Vital Theatre Company, the award-winning theatre company and producer of the long running family show "Pinkalicous, The Musical,"  … [Read more...]

Giveaway: Family Four Pack to the NYC Botanical Gardens Annual Holiday Train Show

New York CIty Botanical Gardens

Every December, we make an annual pilgrimage to the New York Botanical Garden's annual Holiday Train Show. It has become a special and memorable experience for all of us. When our kids were babies, their eyes popped out at all the moving trains buzzing around the room.  As toddlers, they started to chase the trains and watch the lights flashing around the room.  In recent years, now that they're ages 6 and 7, they have begun to ask about the incredible landmarks scattered through the exhibit and they’ve begun to “ooh” and “aah” the remarkable … [Read more...]
