We try to collect "Curious George Books" for all the experiences "AJ" has had. Such as when she went to the chocolate factory (post coming), going to the donut shop and zoo. There are so many books out there, but I thought I would list a few of our favorites from our fun.
Curious George
Curious George Goes Camping
Curious George Visits the Library
Curious George Visits the Zoo
Curious George and the Donut Delivery
Curious George and the Pizza Party
and SOOOOO Many more

Blogs I love
I would be remiss if I didnt write about some of the blogs I read on a regular basis and why I love them.
1. Frugal Family Fun Blog - this is one of my favorite blogs ever. It has craft ideas, ideas to use recyclables, great ideas on fun ways to interact with your children, and do it all without breaking the bank. http://www.frugalfamilyfunblog.com/
2. Teach Mama - this site has lots of educational ideas most from a reading or math basis using things you probably already have. One of my favorite blog articles was using silly bands for math. Lots of pdf downloads of the worksheets are available too. http://www.teachmama.com/
3. Pink and Green Mama - found this one through another blog, I love it for the art ideas with recyclables, such as the heart shape crayons, and the toilet paper roll finger puppets. http://www.pinkandgreenmama.blogspot.com/
4. Chalk in my Pocket - found this blog again through someone else, I think through a comment on facebook. I have enjoyed the nature ideas for toddlers and the recipe for the baked apple chips. http://www.chalkinmypocket.com/
5. Schick Fun Ideas - this blog is a friend of mine and has a lot of ideas for many different things, children's sermons, activities, educational ideas for toddlers and school age, and just general thoughts. http://www.shickfunideas.blogspot.com/
These are my current go-to sites for advice and ideas. They are all unique and I like different things about each. Do you have a favorite blog or do you also follow one of these. I am always finding more, and I will put some more reviews out there as I try more.

Experiences .... Veggie Movie
The newest of the movies in the Veggie Tales line is "Twas the Night Before Easter", a tale of the true meaning of Easter.
Recently our friends at PHBC hosted a movie event with games, crafts, snacks, and fun before we shared the movie on the big screen.
I highly recommend this fun movie this Easter season for the whole family.
PS> The next movie to hit the line will be this summer "The Princess and the PopStar" - - - looking forward to the next movie event.

Experiences are Memory Makers
Ever since "AJ" was born, we have taken a trip to Kraynaks in Sharon, Pa for Easter and Christmas Lanes. This year was no different. (Also we go early in the season so we can go more than once).
Two weeks ago we went to Easter Lane and got a big kick out of watching "AJ's" reactions change as she gets older. The first thing that we saw when we walked in was "Dora" in a spring shower and she is our current favorite. Our other favorite display was the "Sesame Street/Muppet" Wild West Show. If you live close to it , check it out because it is fun and FREE!
At gas being almost $3.50 a gallon to make it worth your while, be sure to also check out Daffin's Candy, Philadelphia Chocolate, The Shop at O'Neil Coffee (good stuff, trust me), and the $3.00 theater. All of these shops are in Sharon and have unique offerings.
PS> Dont tell my friends at "Hershey" I am sending you elsewhere for chocolate
PPS> There is a factory tour at Philadelphia Chocolates on April 9 from 9-4...maybe worth the trip that weekend.

Blog Me
This is my first attempt at a blog. It will be my way to share ideas with family and friends. It will also be a way to share links to other great blogs I love and follow (and hope you will too).
Our family of three is always on the move, and finding new experiences is one of my favorite things to do. The newest experience we had was finding that our local mall has a family fun night the third Tuesday of every month. My daughter for privacy sake will be referred to as "AJ" in this blog.
This month we participated in the Movie Mile (2 laps around the white tiles on the mall floor) and got entered for a chance to win passes to the movies and pizza. Each time we came past the sign-up table there was a juggler, juggling different things. "AJ" got so excited to see what was next. We didn't get a phone call about tickets the next day, so I'm guessing we didn't win. Maybe next month.
If you are in the Venango County area, go to the Cranberry Mall and check out the Family Fun Nights... It was a cheap and fun event.
