Blogging on the Brain

I know I've been quiet here recently. It's because I've been working on some new blogs. I'm totally bitten by the writing bug. Everything I do, I think, "Hmmm, that might make a good blog post." I need to start carrying around a notebook to jot down all my ideas.

I'd love it if you visit (and subscribe!) my other blogs. Each one is a bit more specialized, as opposed this one, which is kind of a mish-mash. I'd love to hear your feedback. What you'd like to see on each blog. Suggestions of topics, etc.

To make life easier, here are the links:

  • Cup of Creativi-Tea: I'm sharing all things creative, whethere it's cooking, sewing, or kid crafts. Maybe some bellydancing (that's creative!). I'm also adding lots of tutorials.
  • I'm Not the Nanny: Parenting stories, with some musings about raising biracial kids in a racially conscious world
  • Laugh in Bed: Intimacy and relationships. Maybe some sex.

I'll still post here occassionally until I get the other ones established! Thanks for reading!

Princess Tiana & Disney on Ice Giveaway!

Edited: Giveaway is closed. Congrats to Sandie!

Last year, I was lucky enough to get a great deal passes to
Disney on Ice. My almost 4 year old with the memory of an elephant has been asking when we'll go again. How the heck did she know that it was coming to the DC area in October?

I grew up watching women's figure skating competition--my parents loved it. I think that maybe because there were always Asian-American figure skaters in the top 5. Very rare to see many Asian faces on tv. But I digress. We're taking Sophia to see Disney on Ice again this year. This year's theme (for the Baltimore, MD & Fairfax, VA tour) is Celebrations! It'll be all about holidays and festivals. Even a ghoulish theme, for my currently Halloween obsessed child.

Here is a chance for my DC Metro readers to win a 4 pack of tickets to Disney on Ice Celebrations! for either the Baltimore or Fairfax tour. Keep reading on how to enter.
Disney On Ice presents Celebrations! Is one colossal party on ice, with all your favorite Disney friends! Enjoy a winter wonderland with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, a Halloween haunt with the Disney Villains, a Very Merry Unbirthday Party, a Royal Ball with the Disney Princesses and more in a magical medley of holidays, celebrations and festivals from around the globe. Come join the party!

Did you hear that? There will be princesses. You heard that right. Guess who will be making her debut? Princess Tiana, from the upcoming Princess and the Frog movie. I'm totally excited since Princess Tiana is the first Disney African-American princess. Plus we got a sneak peek at her this weekend at Blogalicious (more on that in another post). Sophia will be able to see a Disney princess that looks like her. If Tiana wore pink, it'd be perfect.

Disney on Ice will be at the Patriot Center from October 21st through Sunday, October 25th, and in Baltimore at the
1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore October 28th through November 1st. Taking the family out for a show might seem expensive, but I've been given a great coupon code to share with you!

Hey Kim. I use to sell Passion Parties with you (for a short time) under Kristen. I would love to win the Disney tickets. I have an 11 and 9 year old would love to go to this. Please let us know.

Sandie said...

My favorite is Belle, because she is smart, loves books, and fell for the Beast before he was a charming prince.

Aimee @ Smiling Mama said...

Yay! I am so hoping to win this. More for myself because as a kid I was always desperate to go to the icecapades!! It is impossible to choose a favorite character so I think I'd have to go old school with Minnie Mouse!
