Henry, a charming, yet mischievous elf has decided (against orders) to let the audience experience the wonder of the North Pole. He and his wife will keep you roaring in your seats with their adult-friendly comic relief peppered throughout the show. You’ll see everything from a Hannukah celebration to an intricate line dance performed on skates. Humorous vignettes, a 12-minute bite of The Nutcracker and flawless skating filled with awe-inspiring catches and gravity-defying leaps will keep you entranced throughout the entire production.
“It’s exciting to be back home in Atlanta producing The Holiday Ice Spectacular during the most festive and reflective time of year,” says Jeb K. Rand, creator of The Holiday Ice Spectacular. “It was our goal to create a holiday revue that will redefine year-end traditions for years to come, and I believe our audiences will agree that we’ve done just that.”

Reusable bags have become very popular with environmentally conscious individuals, but in a busy family, keeping up with eco-friendly bags can be challenging. While an individual may only need a couple of bags to hold grocery purchases, the bustling household usually requires many bags. Inevitably, the bags are left in the vehicle, forgotten until the point of unloading a cart of groceries at a check stand. An organizer would make it so much easier to remember.
The Tote Buddy is the perfect solution for the shopper who wants to be a responsible member of the global community. The Tote Buddy provides an easy way to store your reusable shopping bags, making them easy to retrieve for your next shopping trip. The Tote Buddy folds open for removing or placing reusable bags. Folded bags stack nicely in The Tote Buddy, with the handle of just one bag placed outside of the Tote Buddy for use as the handle of the entire organizer. The Tote Buddy is folded closed and secured with the Velcro strap. Hang it on a door handle, store it in the vehicle, or keep it in another convenient place for taking along on your next shopping expedition.
I love that The Tote Buddy takes up minimal space in a grocery cart, is easy for the bagger to use, and is convenient to place inside one of the shopping bags after the transaction is completed.Concern for the environment is one of many motivations for purchasing reusable bags. It can be difficult to keep track of several reusable shopping bags, though, and many people give up on their use because of this. The Tote Buddy provides an excellent organizational approach for managing multiple bags.

Halloween evening came to a halt about 14 minutes ago, it’s 12:14 am here. But I still have candy and chatting with friends on my mind.
The kids and I were very prepared for Halloween this year thanks to Pumpkin Masters‘ carving kits and Monster Pieces kit.
Madelyn, shown below, absolutely loved Pumpkin Masters Monster Pieces. I had thought that she could just paint a pumpkin this year but when these kits arrived in the mail I knew that Madelyn would be all over the monster pieces.
Sure enough she transformed her pumpkin from a dull, standard small pumpkin into a three-faced bilingual (Madelyn’s says so) pumpkin and one that is
clearly full of emotions. If the pumpkin’s three faces is any indication into his emotional health, you should be ware.
You can stock up on Halloween carving kits here at Pumpkin Masters store.
Madelyn took her new Pumpkin Masters lighted pumpkin bucket along for trick or treating and it was a huge hit, especially with the younger kids and girls. I guess they like lights. Sebastian put his Pumpkin Masters three light blinking brain in his carved pumpkin that we left on the front porch alongside our bowl of candy. He was thrilled to find that it was still blinking when we got home from trick or treating, hours after he turned it on. He was bummed (but probably inwardly happy) that no one came our house to get candy. Darn.. We have tons of extra m&m’s, twix, lolipops, and snickers bars to deal with here now. What ever will we do?
We gave 3 lucky Atlanta Moms readers a set of pumpkin/Halloween products at a recent get together/contest..
A Giveaway for you!
And now.. if you share a link to your creatively carved pumpkin from this year, we’ll enter you in a drawing to win $10 worth of Pumpkin Masters products for next Halloween. Gotta love being proactive, right? Tell us the age of the primary carver and helper (if any) when linking to your photograph.
