<p>Do you love The Office as much as we do? We are always willing to watch re-runs (and even seek them out when there is nothing on TV worth watching) so when we found out that <strong><em>The Office! A Musical Parody</em></strong> was coming to Boston we couldn&#8217;t be more excited! </p>

<p>We can&#8217;t wait to see how this plays out on stage &#8211; the Pam and Jim love story, Dwight and Angela through the years and who hasn&#8217;t experienced a boss with characteristics like Michael? Add in a bit of Toby, Phillis, Andy, Creed Kelly and Meredith and you have <strong><em>The Office! A Musical Parody</em></strong>.</p>



<p><strong>Off-Broadway Sensation &#8211;</strong> <em><strong>The Office! A Musical Parody</strong></em>  <br><strong>&#8212; 4-Week Engagement November 5-December 1, 2019</strong> <br><strong>At The Calderwood Pavilion, Boston Center for the Arts &#8212;</strong>  </p>



<p><strong>BOSTON – September 4, 2019 &#8211; </strong>Dunder Mifflin is opening an office near you! Producers of the sold out, unauthorized Off-Broadway sensation <em><strong>The Office! A Musical Parody </strong></em>today announced the North American tour will play a four-week engagement at Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts, November 5-December 1, 2019.</p>

<p><em><strong>The Office! A Musical Parody</strong></em><strong>&nbsp;</strong>is written by Bob and Tobly McSmith<strong>,&nbsp;</strong><strong>directed &amp; choreographed by Donald Garverick,</strong>and composed by Assaf Gleizner.</p>



<p>It’s a typical morning at Scranton’s third largest paper company until, for no logical reason, a documentary crew begins filming the lives of the employees of Dunder Mifflin. Don’t miss this hilarious, unauthorized parody of your favorite TV show, now coming to Boston.&nbsp;<em>Mashable&nbsp;</em>calls the show &#8220;the world&#8217;s most elaborate inside joke, created with a whole lot of love, just for fans.”</p>



<p>Writers Bob and Tobly McSmith are ecstatic that &#8220;<em><strong>The Office! A Musical Parody</strong></em>is on track to be our most successful New York production in 10 years,&#8221; says Tobly McSmith.&nbsp;<em><strong>The Office! A Musical Parody</strong></em><em>&nbsp;i</em>s now one of the most successful off-Broadway shows in history. As Michael might say, ‘It&#8217;s been a dream come thru.’&#8221;</p>

<p>We love seeing all of the Halloween decor and costume inspiration from Dia Los Muertos &#8211; Day of the Dead &#8211; this time of year. When we came across this $1 light up skeleton pirate mask at Dollar Tree we knew it would be perfect for a colorful Day of the Dead mask!</p>

<p>Here is what you need for supplies (we purchased our at Dollar Tree):</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Light up mask</li><li>Color fabric paint &amp; glitter glue</li><li>Arlene&#8217;s tacky glue</li><li>Black permanent marker</li><li>Artificial flowers </li><li>Other &#8211; we had these items at home: white spray paint or primer, hot glue, scissors, covered surface</li></ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Getting Started</h2>



<p>Collect all your supplies and cover your work surface to protect it from all the glue and paint goodness that comes with crafting.</p>



<p>Remove the mask from the packaging and spray with a coat of primer or white paint. You can also cover it with paint and a brush but using a spray paint goes so much faster!</p>



<p>Once you have your dry skeleton mask its time to get creative! We started with the black, slick, fabric paint. We liked it because it is slightly raised and shiny. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="768" height="1024" src="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_092402-768x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8880" srcset="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_092402-768x1024.jpg 768w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_092402-225x300.jpg 225w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_092402-640x853.jpg 640w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /><figcaption>Start with outlines to the eyes, nose (fill in) and the teeth. </figcaption></figure>



<p>Next while that dries, grab your tacky glue and the floral jewels. These can be added anywhere around the mask .</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="826" height="1024" src="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_092856-826x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8881" srcset="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_092856-826x1024.jpg 826w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_092856-242x300.jpg 242w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_092856-768x953.jpg 768w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_092856-640x794.jpg 640w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px" /><figcaption>Day of the Dead Mask DIY Craft</figcaption></figure>



<p>While the glue dries its time to start adding colorful dots, dashes, and more to bring your mask to life! There is no wrong way to decorate when it comes to these masks &#8211; enjoy and have fun!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_094256-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8882" srcset="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_094256-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_094256-300x225.jpg 300w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_094256-768x576.jpg 768w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_20191024_094256-640x480.jpg 640w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>We filled in the teeth with gold glitter glue and added some around the eyes too!</figcaption></figure>



<p>We trimmed the edge of the mast where the pirates bandanna was to even the face out a bit using scissors. When  your project has dried it&#8217;s time to add a floral headband to the top. We used a variety of artificial flowers and added them using a hot glue gun.</p>

<p>This is a show that all ages will enjoy! Mom&#8217;s Lifesavers had the opportunity to see the <a href="https://bigapplecircus.com/">BIG APPLE CIRCUS</a> under the big top &#8211; located right in the parking lot of the North Shore Mall! </p>



<p>Parking was free and super convenient, not to mention the BIG APPLE CIRCUS is right at the mall &#8211; located just off of Rt. 95/128 and Rt.114 in Peabody, MA &#8211; it is so easy to get to! </p>



<p>Check out the list of performers <a href="http://www.momslifesavers.com/big-apple-circus-returns-to-massachusetts/">here. </a></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mom&#8217;s Lifesavers Tips for Attending the BIG APPLE CIRCUS</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">First off &#8211; get your tickets before they are gone! </h3>



<p>These performances will sell out. There is not a bad seat in the house! The performers work their way through and around the seats &#8211; the benefit of the ring is that no matter where you sit you can see all the action. USE THE DISCOUNT CODE to purchase tickets! </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Save 25% on&nbsp;any Wednesday through Friday 7 pm performance, all price levels; good thorough May 3.</li><li> Use Offer Code FAMILY when purchasing at Ticketmaster; go to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="http://www.bigapplecircus.com/">www.BigAppleCircus.com</a>&nbsp;and click Buy Tickets </li></ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Get there early! </h3>


<p><!--EndFragment-->Take advantage of all that the big top has to offer and get there early. The tent typically opens 1 hour before the show. The BIG APPLE CIRCUS has pre-show entertainment that everyone will enjoy. While we were there we got to have photo ops with a stilt walker, a juggler, Peter Panic, and more. If your younger circus goers want to participate in a pony ride, there is a separate fee for this. The ride takes place inside the big top under the supervision of animal presenter, Jenny Vidbel,&nbsp; with the miniature horses and ponies used in the performance.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>About Jenny Vidbel and the animals: Jenny Vidbel is a third-generation animal trainer learning the art of animal communication from her grandfather, one of the greatest of his time. Actively involved in animal rescue, she more recently began adding dogs and farm animals to her animal family. Jenny and her animal family spend their time off at her beloved farm in the Catskill Mountains, where her retired animals spend the rest of their lives enjoying 100 acres of green fields, forest and even an apple orchard! &#8211; source www.bigapplecircus.com</em></p>


<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Take Advantage of the VIP Ticket</h3>



<p>Having the VIP pass and being able to say yes to unlimited popcorn and cotton candy made for a great day with the kids. I know our kids ate their weight in popcorn during the show! </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Take a Pre-Show Bathroom Break</h3>



<p>Take advantage of getting there early and make sure everyone in your party uses the portable toilets before the show. These are meticulously maintained by staff and there are hand washing stations there as well. The lines at intermission (is only 20 minutes) for the bathrooms are long &#8211; your best bet is to go before the show starts and after it ends. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are hearing whispers of snow (a four letter word in April) for later this week &#8211; that calls for a warm and easy meal with everyone on the go and after school activities.</p>
<p>When my friends hear me say the word &#8216;popovers&#8217; they say &#8220;No way &#8211; I could never make those.&#8221; but you can and it&#8217;s easier than you think.</p>
<p>I love the idea of making soup and popovers from scratch &#8211; my grandmother taught me how, but after a full day of family commitments and being &#8216;on the go&#8217; &#8211; I wanted comfort food for the family but needed something that required little prep.</p>
<p>Here are 2 items I keep in the pantry for just this type of occasion: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/King-Arthur-Popover-Mix-9-Ounce/dp/B007ZXBSGU/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1365375748&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=king+arthur+popover+mix" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">King Arthur Traditional Popover Mix</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Creek-Country-Kitchens-Creamy/dp/B00BLYBLF2/ref=sr_1_7?s=grocery&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1365375812&amp;sr=1-7&amp;keywords=Bear+Creek+Creamy+Potato+Soup+Mix" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bear Creek Creamy Potato Soup Mix</a>.</p>

<p>This soup only requires you to add water and the popovers just need a few ingredients, eggs, butter and water &#8211; pretty simple stuff that even I usually have on hand.</p>
<p>The soup is easy to doctor up to make it just the way YOU like it &#8211; add some crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, sour cream or chives &#8211; add as little or as much as you like &#8211; the soup comes together in 15 minutes.</p>
<p>The popovers take a bit more attention and time &#8211; but the end result is delicious. Make sure you let the batter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes (that can be tricky, but without letting the batter rest the popovers will come out flat).</p>

<h3>These food tricks are the sweetest kind for April Fool&#8217;s Day.</h3>

<p>We gathered a few candies disguised as foods perfect for tricking even your smallest family members on April Fools Day.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2060" src="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/AprilFools-PeasandCarrots.jpg" alt="AprilFools-PeasandCarrots" width="600" height="200" srcset="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/AprilFools-PeasandCarrots.jpg 600w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/AprilFools-PeasandCarrots-300x100.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<p>This can of Peas and Carrots by Jelly Belly we found at our local Marshall&#8217;s shopping store in the gourmet food and candy section for $3.49.</p>
<p>You can also find them on Amazon <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Peas-and-Carrots-1-LB/dp/B01NH5O70G/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1490804865&amp;sr=8-2-fkmr1&amp;keywords=jelly%2Bbelly%2Bpeas%2Band%2Bcarrots&amp;th=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
<p>We love that they look SO real &#8211; especially plated! So very perfect for April Fools Day food pranks. Jelly Belly&#8217;s Peas and Carrots are proudly made in the USA!</p>
<p>My kids are going to be protesting about eating their Peas and Carrots when in fact they are a sweet chewy candy &#8211; ha ha ha!</p>
<h3><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Breakfast on April Fools Day</span></h3>
<p><a href="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/AprilFools-FriedEggs.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2061" src="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/AprilFools-FriedEggs.jpg" alt="AprilFools-FriedEggs" width="600" height="200" srcset="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/AprilFools-FriedEggs.jpg 600w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/AprilFools-FriedEggs-300x100.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">This year to pull one over on the kids, we&#8217;ll be serving eggs sunny side up &#8211; I mean GUMMY side up!</span></p>
<p>We found these gummy Fried Eggs at <a href="http://www.dollartree.com/home.jsp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dollar Tree</a> made in Spain by <a href="http://www.vidalcandies.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Vidal</a>. We also found a brand on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Frutti-Mini-Gummy-Fried-Candy/dp/B00318AV5M">amazon</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m wondering if our son will squirm when he sees these eggs on his plate!</p>
<p>These gummy Fried Eggs are perfect for pulling one over on the kids. We paired the gummy eggs with some small pumpernickel bread for added effect.</p>
<h3>Did Your Parents Ever Play an April Fools Day Food Prank on You?</h3>
<p>As a child I was so afraid to eat an egg. It didn&#8217;t matter how you planned to serve it up &#8211; there was no way I was going to eat it &#8211; scrambled, hard boiled, in an omelet &#8211; nope, not going to eat it. So if eggs were on the menu for breakfast I was allowed to make my own bowl of cereal or some toast for myself.</p>
<p>Then one day, which happened to be the first day of April, my father served me up a big sunny side up egg on my plate. He said there was no other options today.</p>
<p>I cried. Yes, I cried. Dad said, &#8220;She can&#8217;t leave the table until that egg is gone completely.&#8221; I gasped, gagged and cried some more. I sat there for almost an hour (it felt like 5 hours). Dad just chuckled away cooking up some more eggs for his breakfast. My younger sister quietly sat eating her serving of egg.</p>
<p>Then he finally broke down. Dad told me to stop crying &#8211; I guess it wasn&#8217;t funny anymore &#8211; and told me<strong> the &#8216;egg&#8217; was made out of white chocolate!</strong> No wonder my younger sister ate hers without any complaints.</p>
<p>Happy April Fools Day!</p>

<div>My sister has the green thumb in the family – over school vacation week she will have all the kids in the neighborhood building fairy houses for their rock and flower gardens.</div>
<div>Over the summer months the kids will visit with their creations, make &#8216;home improvements&#8217; and &#8216;additions&#8217; and let their imaginations take them on a fairy adventure through their neighborhood.</div>
<div></div>

</div>
<div></div>
<div>You too can welcome Spring by building a fairy house with just a few supplies and a little imagination.</div>
<h3>Start with a Base</h3>
<div>We started by purchasing a wooden base. We have found that inexpensive wooden bird houses from your local craft store make a great base and help the kids get started giving the house a basic shape to start working from.</div>
<h3>Decorations and Adhesive</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_19?url=search-alias%3Darts-crafts&amp;field-keywords=aleene%27s+tacky+glue&amp;sprefix=aleene%27s+tacky+glue%2Caps%2C299" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Aleene&#8217;s Tacky Glue</a>, or thick white glue that will adhere to wood and dry clear &#8211; we let the kids load up the glue, it works very well and it&#8217;s thick consistency holds even heavier objects (like rocks and shells) in place.</li>
<li>Mosses, bark, twigs, small stones, dried leaves, acorns, mulch, mini pinecones and even feathers were collected in and around the yard.</li>
<li>Looking for a beach cottage for your fairy &#8211; try collecting shells, sand and driftwood to add to your fairy house.</li>
</ul>
<h3>&nbsp;Getting Your Fairy House Move In Ready</h3>
<ol>
<li>Prepare your work area, outside is great but if temperature and weather isn&#8217;t working in your favor, a plastic tablecloth or newspaper makes a great work surface and clean up easy.</li>
<li>Help the kids prepare by going on a nature collection in the yard &#8211; any little pieces that they find can be incorporated.</li>
<li>When you are ready to start decorating, apply a layer of glue to the wooden base, one surface at a time and add your treasures.</li>
<li>Let everything dry overnight and you&#8217;re fairy house will be move in ready once dry.</li>
<li>Place your fairy house outside and add a walkway, rock picnic table, or even their own mini garden.</li>
</ol>

<p>It seems like it is always allergy season here in New England. There is the Spring pollen, the Summer haying, the Autumn decaying leaves and the Winter dust mites &#8211; and those are just a few!</p>
<p>After years of chronic sinus infections I was finally tested for allergies and found out that dust mites were my greatest allergen challenge. The rugs, mattress, pillows, down blankets and curtains were all contributors to my allergies and I needed to &#8216;allergy proof&#8217; to make it my sanctuary.</p>
<h3>Getting Started</h3>
<p>Jumping right into allergy proofing my bedroom was a little overwhelming &#8211; but I have learned over time some of the littlest changes make the greatest difference.</p>
<h3>The Air &#8211; Finding the Right Air Purifier</h3>
<p>That&#8217;s right, the air. The air in our homes comes from so many places depending on the season. In the winter it&#8217;s the forced hot air which means changing our furnace filter more frequently than recommended &#8211; it makes a difference but it doesn&#8217;t capture all of the &#8216;extras&#8217; that are in our homes air. In the summer its the air conditioner &#8211; I&#8217;m always cleaning out the filters on that too, ugh.</p>
<p>The first thing we did to rid our bedroom of allergens was to choose an air purifier.</p>
<p>We chose the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.honeywellcleanair.com/air-purifiers/buy-honeywell-air-purifiers/honeywell-tower-air-purifier-hfd-120-q/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Honeywell QuietClean Tower Air Purifier</a> &#8211; it operates so quietly, emitting just a little white noise that I find great for having in the background when sleeping. AND it captures 99% of airpborne particles like smoke, dust, pollen and even pet dander.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_5961" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/TipsAllergyProofing-collage.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5961" class="wp-image-5961 size-full" src="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/TipsAllergyProofing-collage.jpg" alt="Honeywell QuietClean Tower for Allergy Proofing Your Bedroom" width="500" height="500" srcset="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/TipsAllergyProofing-collage.jpg 500w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/TipsAllergyProofing-collage-150x150.jpg 150w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/TipsAllergyProofing-collage-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5961" class="wp-caption-text">Honeywell QuietClean Tower for Allergy Proofing Your Bedroom</p></div></p>
<p>The Honeywell Quiet Clean Tower Air Purifier also has a permanent filter that can be washed clean. Not having to purchase additional pricey filters is a Mom&#8217;s Lifesaver.</p>

Check out these top 10 reasons from <a href="http://www.honeywellcleanair.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Honeywell.</a></p>
<h3>Your Mattress, Pillows and Blankets</h3>
<p>Encase your mattress. It sounds simple and it is. I purchased a zippered mattress cover to cover the entire mattress &#8211; it does not have to be plastic. Today&#8217;s allergy products are soft to the touch, yet have a protective barrier. You can find one at a big box or bedding store.</p>
<p>My husband has a favorite pillow, the thought of replacing it wasn&#8217;t even up for discussion. We did purchase a pillow cover for it, a simple solution that provides big results.</p>
<p>We gave away the down comforter and switched to a down alternative comforter. Down alternative comforters are easy to care for, can be washed and dried without care and today you can find them in many colors.</p>
<h3>Window Treatments</h3>
<p>I grew up with curtains on every window. Not anymore.</p>
<p>I have replaced our heavy curtains with a sheer panel on top of a washable blind in our bedroom.</p>
<p>Now I am able to easily wipe down the blinds and throw the panels in a hot wash.</p>
<h3>Rugs and Carpet</h3>
<p>My allergist recommended getting rid of our carpeting. I thought this was a daunting task, but since we were concentrating on the bedroom it was actually manageable.</p>
<p>We pulled up the wall to wall carpet and replaced it with an adhesive vinyl tile. I was hesitant but wasn&#8217;t ready to commit to putting down a wood floor. The solution actually was affordable and worked out great, not to mention how easy it is to clean.</p>

<p>We love decorating eggs for Easter. The possibilities are endless, especially today with such a wide range of craft products available. Our tweens love getting in on the action too when it comes to decorating, but were looking for something a little different than traditional colors and methods.</p>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">We found a dozen chalkboard painted eggs at <a href="http://www.target.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Target</a> for $3 in the holiday section. The package came with white chalk and we had some colored chalk markers at home &#8211; we thought this would be a perfect treat for our tweens and teens.</div>

<h3 dir="ltr">Easter Egg Designs For Tweens</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
<p><div id="attachment_7615" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7615" class="wp-image-7615 size-full" src="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ML-TweenEggsCollage.jpg" alt="Easter Egg Designs For Tweens" width="512" height="726" srcset="http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ML-TweenEggsCollage.jpg 512w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ML-TweenEggsCollage-212x300.jpg 212w, http://www.momslifesavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ML-TweenEggsCollage-300x425.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /><p id="caption-attachment-7615" class="wp-caption-text">Easter Egg Designs For Tweens Mom&#8217;s Lifesavers</p></div></p>
<p>The great thing about these pre-painted chalkboard eggs is that there is no prep work needed. Simply open the package and get decorating. Our kids loved the white on black contrast &#8211; they tried a few with the colored chalk markers but were happier with the results of the white on black.</p>
<p>We used both stick chalk and a white chalk marker. The design possibilities are only limited by your imagination. Stripes, dots, drawings, swirls and more.</p>
<h3>Displaying Eggs</h3>
<p>How do you display your decorated eggs? Our family purchased a tuft of artificial grass that we use a centerpiece for the eggs on our table. Hint: the grass also makes for a great place for the eggs to &#8216;dry&#8217; if you use a chalk marker.</p>
<ul>
<li>Vase &#8211; repurpose a vase and instead of filling it with flowers try these chalkboard eggs &#8211; they will definitely be the talk of the table.</li>
<li>Egg cups &#8211; yes, egg cups. Using a traditional egg cup and placing a non-tradition decorated chalkboard egg in it will create quite a contrast.</li>
<li>Trays- there are some great metal trays that make perfect decorated egg displays. Add a little artificial grass or moss and create an amazing centerpiece.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Playing Under the Big Top at Assembly Row April 7-May 6</h3>
<p>Big Apple Circus returns to the Boston area and we are so excited! It is their 40th anniversary season!</p>
<p>The show was amazing and  absolutely the most perfect family entertainment for ALL ages. All 3 generations of our family attended on Sunday, April 8th and made memories! It was awesome. To see my niece&#8217;s jaws drop during the trapeze  and my mom and son laugh non stop during the water scene, it was totally priceless for me. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this performance!</p>
<p><em>Mom&#8217;s Lifesavers was provided with tickets to the show to facilitate this review. All opinions expressed are our own. </em></p>

</ul>
<h3>#2 You&#8217;ll see the big top set up at Assembly Row, Somerville, MA</h3>
<p>There is plenty of free parking available in adjacent lots to the big top or you can park in the are parking garage.</p>
<ul>
<li id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1521758197463_24207" class="yiv7865950509MsoNormal"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1521758197463_24397">The big top is located just off </span>Grand Union Blvd., Somerville, MA</li>

</ul>
</div>
<h3>#3 Show time &#8211; there are plenty of things to do under the big top before the show begins.</h3>
<p>There are 2 schools of thoughts to this one.</p>
<ul>
<li>One, get there right before show time and head straight for your seats.</li>
<li>Two, hang out under the big top, get your face painted, take a pony ride or visit Francis the miniature horse and have your picture taken. All these fun activities will cost a little extra and have lines associated with them, the earlier you are there the more time you will have to do these extras.</li>
<li>Security: Screening of bags take place at entry.  Leaving your snacks and drinks at home is a good idea,  they will not be allowed into the big top.</li>
<li>Note: By arriving 30 minutes before show time, we were able to pose for a picture ($25 includes a Big Apple Circus frame, 3 pictures (printed while you wait)  and a digital download) use the restrooms (portable bathrooms) and have enough time to purchase lemonade and popcorn for the show.</li>
</ul>

<h3>#4 Food &amp; Drink &#8211; You will find all the circus staples under the big top.</h3>
<p>You&#8217;ll find:</p>
<ul>
<li>Popcorn, soft pretzels, boxed candy, cotton candy, slushies and lemonade are all available at the concession stands</li>
<li>Cinnabon &#8211; yes, that&#8217;s right, Cinnabon! Enjoy a hot cinnamon roll during the show</li>
<li>Dippin Dots &#8211; the kids love them</li>
<li>Beer and Wine &#8211; there is even a separate location to purchase beer and wine</li>
</ul>
<h3>#5 Showtime &#8211; Sit back and enjoy the show.</h3>
<p>There is a 15 minute intermission about an hour in. There are a few moments when the performers will be out in the audience, be ready to laugh!</p>
