It was great, she was dancing and singing and j...

This past weekend was a great one, being that I was able to take the kids to see Sesame Street Live!  Let's Party!  As I have mentioned before, Savannah LOVES Elmo, so I was thrilled when I got the invitation to go check out their live show.  I was worried for a bit, since Savannah wasn't feeling well... but the crew on Sesame Street must have made her feel better!      FTC Compliant Review Policy:  The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or reprenting PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.  Opinions expressed are my own and were not influenced by monetary compensation.  Once the show started, her eyes were glued to the stage. She was laughing and giggling and dancing in her seat the whole time.

When Broxton was younger, he loved Elmo and the rest on Sesame Street.  I was excited when Savannah followed in her brothers footsteps and fell in love with the furry little red guy as well!  You can not even begin to imagine my excitement when I found out that Sesame Street Live!  Let's Party! was headed to Infinite Energy Arena in Duluth!  That meant I could plan a great night with the kiddos and work on my whole "making memories" plan for our life!  FTC Compliant Review Policy:  The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.  Opinions expressed are my own and were not influenced by monetary compensation.  Savannah has always been a bit on the shy side, so last year when she ran up and hugged Elmo, I knew she had a friend in him!  I can't wait to see her face when she sees him up on the stage!  I just wanted to sh...

Savannah is a HUGE fan of Sesame Street, especially that cute red monster, Elmo!  If you follow me on Instagram , you know we had a blast when the Sesame Street POP UP TOUR: K is for Kindness came our way.  I was SO EXCITED to get to take Savannah and to see her little face light up seeing her friend made my day! This was the set for the event. Elmo and Abby came out and put on a show.  We weren't able to stay for the event, since Big Brother had a basketball game, but we were invited to a media pre-show to get to meet them beforehand.  FTC Compliant Review Policy:   The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

We are totally in love with Elmo around here.  Savannah seems to call Elmo "lalalala" for the most days, I guess because of the song for Elmo's World.  We always call Elmo by his name, but she still has her own name for him.  Well, I about FLIPPED when I received an email to let me know that the Sesame Street K is for Kindness Pop Up Tour was headed our way!   I know Savannah is going to be so excited to see Elmo and that happiness for her makes my heart smile so big!!!

I received an email and wanted to share: Sesame Workshop’s newest resiliency initiative Little Children, Big Challenges.   This bilingual, multimedia outreach initiative is for military, veteran, and general public families with young children, to help increase self-awareness, boost self-esteem, and help children persevere through changes. The project will debuted this week with a new anthem, “What We Are”  Little Children Big Challenges is designed to: Proactively help children build resilience factors that they can draw on during day-to-day transitions (such as beating the bedtime blues, trying new things, learning from mistakes, making new friends, accepting not being able to do what others can, resolving problems between friends) and challenging situations (such as sibling rivalry, bullying, relocation, divorce, and incarceration) Encourage parents, caregivers, and educators to use positive routines to help ...
