  • The Show Must Go On

    Six kids under the age of nine, a terrible script with a good message, an undercover princess, a dancing old man, a Disney song on repeat all day long and hours of relentless practicing. What could possibly go wrong? Well, no matter what, the show must go on.

  • Two Truths and A Lie

    For today’s post, I wanted to try something a little more light hearted and hopefully still entertaining: Two Truths and a Lie (as well as the stories behind them.)
