Ultimate French Dip Recipe
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love this sandwich! Honestly I am not even a sandwich person – but this sandwich is the bomb! It was really pretty simple to make and costs just a fraction of what you would pay at a restaurant. However, I have to be honest I have paid $15+ for a French Dip at a restaurant and nothing has ever compared to this amazing Ultimate French Dip! Even better we paid less than $5 total in ingredients for 2 large French Dips (which really could have fed 4 people). Ingredients 1 baguette 1/2 lb cold cut Roast Beef 4-5 slices Swiss…

My family was so blessed to be able to attend the Opening night of Cirque TORUK Avatar. I have not seen a Cirque Du Soleil show in many years and was so excited to take my family to see this new show! Let me tell you we were not disappointed. The narration, costumes, music, acrobatics were all fantastic. The opening show went off without a hitch. There were no major errors, falls or glitches. In fact, I was so surprised by the superior artistry displayed by those who performed on the silks. The perfection and skill required to fly the kites and not get them tangled was phenomenal. One of my favorite…

Give Your Kids a Mental Break With Yo-Kai Watch
This post was sponsored by Nintendo as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. It’s hard sometimes to put life into perspective, but think about this. Kids from age 6+ are in school using a great deal of mental focus for about 8 hours a day. After school many kids go out for competitive sports and again use a great deal of mental and physical energy. I sometimes have to think about this and put things into perspective. Sometimes kids need a mental break and Yo-kai Watch is a perfect outlet. Yo-kai Watch is a video game that is all a…

The New Avatar Cirque Show Coming to Kansas City
Remember James Cameron’s AVATAR? Well, this brand-spanking new Cirque show (World Premier was just before Christmas) is set 2,000 years BEFORE that movie. With the award-winning director’s guidance, TORUK, is a magical world full of (yes, blue people) puppetry, technology and plenty of acrobatics. Narrated by a “Na’vi Storyteller” and populated by unforgettable characters, TORUK – The First Flight is a mythical tale set thousands of years before the events depicted in the film AVATAR, and before any humans ever set foot on Pandora. When a natural catastrophe threatens to destroy the sacred Tree of Souls, Ralu and Entu, two Omaticaya boys on the brink of adulthood, fearlessly decide to take matters into their own hands.…
