Think Outside the Box at Children’s Museum of Atlanta

If you’re a parent think of Christmas morning or some other time when you child receives gifts that might require big boxes.  After they rip the present open, yell at the gift and then play with it, what do they do?   They play with the box.  The bigger the box the better.  If they can sit in the box or roll their toy cars through that’s awesome too.  Think Outside the Box is the new exhibit at Children’s Museum of Atlanta and is boxes, boxes and more.

Win tickets to Wizard World Atlanta Comic Con, May 30-June 1

This will be fun.  I fully credit comic books with making me the strong reader that I am today.  I’m also very much into pop (and poop) culture.  These roads will intersect in a big way at the Wizard World Atlanta Comic-Con May, 30-June 1.  The lineup is huge and I’m going back and forth in my mind as to who I want to see the most.

Free Beneficial Garden Bug Class this weekend at Pike Nursery

We love our garden, even though we don’t know everything about it and often lose more than half of our tomatoes, we love it.  There are also blueberries, raspberries and a couple other edibles in there, but their loss is usually greater than 50%.  Bugs can help me with this and this weekend Pike Nurseries is having a free class to educate folks about the good bugs that can help our gardens.

Extreme Dinosaurs review: Hands on enjoyment for kids

4 years old is a hot age for children and dinosaurs.  They know dinosaur songs, the names of more big ones than I remember and seemingly can’t get enough of them.  Extreme Dinosaurs is a new exhibit at Atlantic Station in Atlanta that has 17 audioanimatronic dinos that snarl, move and do things that will make children’s eyes open wide.

St. Baldrick’s is this weekend-Can you help?

It’s a cliché to say that Cancer sucks, but it does.  It’s the world’s worst night club with the DJ only having one song, it’s one you don’t like and it’s being repeated all night.  That song is a Cancer cell, a rogue cell that keeps cloning, over and over.  If it spreads, or metastasizes then it’s going to other organs and will cause real damage, in many cases terminal.  St. Baldrick’s is happening soon, it’s a fundraiser to raise money for children’s Cancer-can you help?

Are you going to a St. Baldrick’s event this weekend?  You can support the cause in advance or when you show up-either way it’s going to a worthy cause.
