Monster's Masquerade: Win 4 Tickets

Have you been paying attention to all the awesome events being held by the Omaha Children's Museum this next month? October is full of great events and activities for dressing the kids up in costumes (if you're like us, also an excuse for mom and dad to dress up!)

Kevin and I absolutely love dressing up for Halloween....and try to keep costumes a surprise! This year we are working on 2 costumes for Lorelai because we love it so much. Hint: One of them is a superhero that I've been sewing this week, and we will be debuting it at the DC vs Marvel event at OCM.

The other event we are most excited about at the museum this October, is the exclusive Monster's Masquerade (Exclusive means tickets will be limited, so grab them while you can!)

The Monster's Masquerade is on October 20th from 6:00- 9:00 pm. A few things you'll see there: mini pumpkin painting, monster-themed activities and crafts, tasty treats and live music from the Beatles cover band "Come Together." Come enjoy this family-friendly costume ball (and get more use out of the great Halloween costumes you picked out this year!)

When: Saturday, Oct. 20, from 6 to 9 p.m.

Where: Omaha Children's Museum , 500 S. 20^th St.

Cost: Tickets are $20 each for members and $35 each for non-members.

Even better...we are giving away 4 tickets the event! How do you win? Leave a comment here or on facebook telling me what your favorite halloween costume was as a kid (or adult!)
Giveaway will end Oct 5th

Traveling with Kids: Setting them up for successful flight

Each flight we take with our kids, we are often overwhelmed by fellow passengers commenting on how great our children travel. I won't even pretend that it has anything to do with my parenting or my children's innate ability to be good travelers. By no means does that come without a lot of behind the scenes work, thought and preparation. Our children are not naturally good travelers...rather we do everything possible to set them up for a successful (i.e. enjoyable, quiet, and somewhat relaxing) flight.

Do you want a toddler that doesn't make a peep when you travel? How about a baby who doesn't fuss too much? Here are a few of our secrets to setting your children up for a successful flight
It starts before you even book your trip.
Schedule your flight at a time that works well with your child's sleep schedule. That means no getting in at midnight, no leaving at 5 a.m...and for us we often try to avoid nap time as much as possible (once are kids are down to 1 nap a day…

Things You Learn About The Newborn Phase The Second Time Around

Look, we've all been there. As a first time mom you are totally crazy. You need every little thing imaginable to be able to raise your baby. Your baby has more places to be set down than you have chairs for everyone else in your house...crib, saucer, bumbo, highchair, rock-n-play, play mat, swing...you get my point.
Now second time around, you might just do things a little differently! Here are a few things I learned my second time around:

My biggest secret? Your baby wakes up less at night the lower you turn down the monitor volume.
Think on that a minute...does that make me a bad mom? No! It means that I'm not waking up at every little thing! And allows Pepper learn to put herself back to sleep on her own after playing/talking a bit.

Don't even bother buying a baby book or it will be filled with "Date baby laughed 3 months?" Yep..the question mark is actually written in the baby book, because I'm not 100% sure when she laughed.

You will forget everything tha…

Omaha Performing Arts: WeBop

If you're anything like me, you want to find all kinds of activities for your kids to get involved in as a way to educate, entertain and cultivate their physical and mental growth. For little ones, sometimes that is difficult to find. We've explored swim classes, sports, gymnastics...all great things, but we really wanted to look at something else for Lorelai to experience.

Music is such an important part of a child's life. Personally I believe that my involvement in music at a young age made me more successful and well-rounded! Due to involvement in choir, musicals and band I was able to gain confidence at a young age for public speaking, since I was familiar with standing in front of an audience. I also feel that reading music is such a great skill for children to learn as they grow older, along with familiarity with instruments, and to appreciate the arts. Not only that, music can help a child learn and retain information (example...do you still sing your ABC's in y…
