Expert Insight From Broadway Dance Studio's Karen Prunzik

 

Jeanne Furia Ozzimo my daughter has been a soccer player all her life. She is now 14 and thinks she is too old to start dancing. Is that true??

BLEED BLACK N GOLD? This is for you.

Christine and I ran across this dude at a fundraiser/ event for Steps 4 Sammy!  There were tons of booths to check out but our MK booth was situated directly across from his. Far enough that we couldn't get a good look but we could see it was something worth looking at.

Halloween Memories and Trick-or-Treat Tips

Halloween is one of our kid's favorite times of year, other than Christmas! Goblins and ghouls, and Free candy!  What a great scary night for kids to have fun!   It can also be a scary night of a different sort for parents.

Watching the news lately has been scary enough for me to know that I won't be letting Gracie Trick-or-Treat by herself ever.  She may think she is trick-or-treating by herself when she gets older, but I will dress-up and go undercover to follow her little butt ...

A Parents' Guide to Coughs

No mom enjoys hearing a child cough, even though pediatricians often remind parents that coughing is actually a good thing — it’s the body’s way of keeping the lungs clear and preventing pneumonia. But that doesn’t make the problem any easier for you or your child, especially when your little one can’t get a good night’s sleep because of a nagging cough.

The first question you need to ask yourself is, “How sick is my child?” says Benaroch. For instance, sucking in the ribs with every ...


Inside a Preschool Martial Arts Class

Mighty Dragons " ROAR!"

I've said it before and I'll say it again.  Tang Soo Do Imperial Dragon Karate School is top notch.  Peyton was literally doing PUSH UPS today in my kitchen.  She thought is was just so cool to show me.  This is my FOUR YEAR old  BARBIE PRINCESS TIARA GIRL.  The amazing thing was-  SHE WAS DOING THEM RIGHT!!  Another testament to Tang Soo Do's impact! I asked Christine to come with me today to view a preschool Little Dragons Class (Findlay Township Community Center)so that she ...

Getting Started

One of my favorite sayings is "I may be fat, but you're ugly and I can diet".

Pittsburgh International Children's Theatre

A Review of Duck For President, Fancy Nancy and other Story Books.

Growing up I wasn't introduced to the theatre until I was in my early teens.  My heart seized the first time I heard a musical number live.  Miss Saigon, NYC , blizzard of 1993.    The intensity of the music, the incredible voices of the performers, the stories.  Sigh.  Musical theatre is such a beautiful experience. 

This past weekend the Pittsburgh International Children's Theatre invited my girls and I to enjoy the Musical Performance: Duck For President , Fancy Nancy and other stories.
