I have something for you.

And I am so freaking excited to do this!

First – you knew it was coming – I have to tell you a little story.  Actually, it’s, um, something of a historical scenario.

I always thought I would be able to take my little ones to Sesame Street Live!, or a modified version of Swan Lake.  You get the idea.

Let me clarify what I’m telling you here:  Our family is so lucky.  We have been so very, very blessed.  Really, all my sarcasm and snarkiness – I know it has its place.  Given the chance to relive the earliest years of my girls, if I had to choose between staying home with my kids and being able to take them to theatre events, I’d stay home with them, hands down.  (Though I might plan better for tequila to be a more regular part of each week….)

Not taking Claire to see Stars on Ice, or getting Kate to see Barney Live?  Not a huge deal in the scheme of life.

And now?  NOW I get to help YOU take your kids – or your grandkids, or your niece, or your favorite neighbor – to one of those special performances that hold children rapt with attention and allow them to feel the magic of a live performance.

SO….what is it?

Four Tickets To See

Now, if you don’t know about the Wiggles, I KNOW you know someone who does. And who would be nothing short of ecstatic to help the Fab Four from Down Under celebrate their Big Birthday!
