When I was in school I had a friend whose father preferred his sister. The reason was that the father expected his daughter to cheer and the son to play football. Unfortunately for the son, he was just over 5ft tall. My friend could never get over the fact that he wasn’t acceptable to his father simply because of his height.

When my husband was about 12 or 13 years old he found his love for the Ramones. Simple and direct, they were a 50’s 60’s rock band with punk overtones. His analysis of their medium known works is not always punk-but also hard-rock with 50’s sensibilities. He even saw The Ramones in concert twice during the mid 80s in Charlotte NC.

Daddy Mojo works in social media, I work in technology and I’m also very nosey when it comes to our children – so I haven’t been very concerned with the iDevice revolution. I have a device and so does my husband, so to protect our children all we have to do is secure the connection in our house, right?

The Columbus Foundation has made floating museums of replicas of caravels (Portuguese trading vessels), used on Christopher Columbus’ first voyage to the “New World” in 1492. I had the opportunity to see them when the ships were at the Beaufort Harbor in SC. I went with our kids in addition to my parents and my sister’s family. A total of six kids were with us at ages 2, 4, 6, 9, 11 & 13.

We went to “Whales: Giants of the Deep” exhibit, because our 4-year-old son is so engaged with animals. I grew up in Atlanta, so I have childhood memories of Fernbank Museum, but experiencing it with my son gave me a whole new perspective.

Typically for my birthday my husband and I do a date night to a new sushi restaurant or new bar. This year, though, I thought it would be fun to spend the evening of my birthday with not only my husband but our oldest son as well. We went to see Ringling Bros. Circus, Built to Amaze. As the circus started after his bedtime he was out-of-this-world with excitement, which made me quite excited too. Other than splurging on cotton candy, I didn’t remember much at all about my own childhood experience at the circus and this was my chance to experience it all again with him.

Go big or go home? Not necessarily when you go to the Big Apple Circus. The Big Apple Circus is a more intimate version of Cirque de Soleil crossed with Barnum and Bailey Circus. I took my sons, ages 4 and 2, to see the circus with my 11 year-old niece who came to help. But between the clowns, the acrobats and the animals, they had us covered.
