The Circus is Coming to Phoenix!

If you've been around here for a while, you know how much my family enjoys the circus!  We are very excited to see the latest Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey show, Legends, when it comes to Phoenix from June 25 - 30, 2014.

We will be there opening night, cheering on the clowns and amazing aerial acts. If you want to go, I can offer you a $5 discount on tickets.  Just use the code MOMSAVE at www.ticketmaster.com to save $5 per ticket.  (Valid for all shows. Only one discount can be applied. Not valid on Ringmaster or VIP seats.)

One of the things my kids especially love is the All Access Show that you can attend before the actual show begins.  Performers and animals fill the arena, and are accessible to everyone.  My kids always love getting a picture with a clown when we go.

2014 National Stuttering Awareness Week

Who knew when I had Nate, that his birthday would fall during National Stuttering Awareness Week and he would stutter?  Nobody!  But, it does!  This week is National Stuttering Awareness Week and today is Nate's 12th birthday.

Nate is extremely kind, compassionate, intelligent and giving.  He loves his family and will do just about anything for his siblings. He has a strong love of soccer, and plays his hardest on his club soccer team.  He loves to serve on the altar at Mass, and his favorite role is carrying the crucifix during Mass. He's also musical, and excited that we are looking for a string bass for him to call his own this summer.

He is my selfie partner, the child who will always care for me when I'm not feeling well, and is the most empathetic of my three children. He will go out of his way to make sure others feel included.  He is a thinker, and is always considering how others feel, as well as how things work.

Today, we made a video about stuttering in honor of National Stuttering Awareness Week.  Here it is!
