Review of the Zing Zang Zoom Circus

OK so check it out, Last night I got to go to the circus. It was so much fun! My four kiddos had fun even the babies! Before the show we got to go down to the floor to check out the clown university and acrobats doing their thing, plus we got to see the elephant Asia paint her masterpiece before our very eyes! We did not get the opportunity to check out the clothing they had to try on because it was crowded but it was fun. They do that one hour before show time and I recommend that you go as early as possible to get the show experience.

The show was fun it lasted about 90 minutes and had one intermission. There was so much going on during the show my daughter didnt know what to focus in on when all three rings were in use. The songs were catchy for the show and still are in my head haha. I like the fact that the circus used their own band for the music as opposed to recorded music because it sounded better in my opinion. Some of the acts were really neat like the dog acts where the dogs were doing stunts and some were even in costume! That was my sons favorite part. They had the human cannon ball and of course some magic tricks that I won't tell because you guys have to go see it! I fully recommend going to see the show.

Zing Zang Zooooom!

I am so excited. I was asked to be an ambassador to inform you guys about the upcoming Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus coming to our area!

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® presents ZING ZANG ZOOMSM

Through the mystery of magic and the mastery of skill, audiences will be spellbound as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® presents ZING ZANG ZOOMSM, a thrill-filled, mind-blowing circus spectacular where family fun is no illusion.

Magical Zingmaster Alex and his assistant, the alluring Levitytia, lead audiences through a kaleidoscope of color and imagery revealing extraordinary worlds of fantasy, flight and phenomena that celebrates the uplifting spirit of the circus and wards off a cynical Mr. Gravity and his team of “heavies” who try to bring everyone down.

Be mesmerized when a four-ton elephant disappears before your eyes, and a gravity-inducing nemesis transforms across species into a ferocious tiger. Stand in awe as a dazzling trapeze artist performs a perilous, anatomically unimaginable one-arm speed-spin high atop the arena floor, and two formidable, female human cannonballs are blasted through the air in a daring, awe-inspiring display of bravery. Become electrified as the dangerous double wheel of steel, the gasp-inducing high wire and soaring gigantic swings defy both gravity and logic.

Fun-filled magic merges with traditional circus arts to create a world of infinite possibilities where apprentice illusionists levitate their parents with a wave of a wand, and audience spirits keep rising as the high flying circus is (literally) turned upside down. Perhaps the most magical of all, watch in amazement as an incomparable array of exotic animals including a herd of majestic Asian elephants, magnificent Bengal tigers and elegant Arabian and Friesian horses join forces with our human performers to create an experience that will surprise and delight Children of All Ages, rendering us speechless and reminding us that the magic of The Greatest Show On Earth® lives forever in our hearts and imaginations.

Real life advice for moms by moms

Hey Mommies!

There is a new website to help mommies learn as they go from real life moms just like you and me, it is called Mamapedia

www.mamapedia.com

What is Mamapedia about?


About Mamapedia™

Questions and parenting go hand in hand. From the moment you discover you’re pregnant and wonder "what should I be eating?" to the day your child packs for college and asks "how much spending money will I need?" you’re constantly in need of advice. And there’s no one better to get it from than the ultimate experts: other moms.

This, in a nutshell, is why Mamapedia exists.

Mamapedia is your lifeline to millions of moms who’ve shared their real-world wisdom through local Mamasource online communities over the past two years. We compiled their answers, organized them by stage, and made them instantly searchable. We invite you to bookmark Mamapedia to find answers in a pinch, and to join your local Mamasource community so you can share what you’ve learned on your journey. And don't miss Mamapedia’s ever-expanding range of topics, including household, money, health, relationships, and many other things that moms are talking about.

Parenting is a learn-as-you-go job. So is running a company. We welcome your feedback about Mamapedia and Mamasource.

Frosted Flakes Kelloggs Plant a Seed Semifinalists

Mom Central teamed up with Kellogg's Frosted Flakes back in January to let our community know about its Earn Your Stripes (EYS) field renovation program that aimed to renovate neighborhood sports fields across the U.S. Since that time, thousands of fields were nominated some with as many as 700,000 supporters! Those fields have now been narrowed down to 100 finalists and your vote will help determine the winning fields.

The semifinalist fields were chosen based on the feasibility of the field makeover, the location and age of the field, how often it gets used, how many events take place, what teams use it, the number of other athletic fields in the community, the demand, condition, and the impact a field renovation would have on the community.

From May 1st through the 31st, you can vote for your favorite semifinalist field at www.frostedflakes.com. Do you have a field in your area that got nominated or do you like one with a particularly compelling story? We found a playing field close to the Mom Central office! Those who nominated these fields described the conditions as having inadequate grass, equipment, uneven playing surfaces and other problems. These renovations will help to build community and provide better places for kids to stay active and play.
