Last year we saw The Backyardigans Quest for the Extra Ordinary Aliens and we enjoyed it so much that we just went and saw it again when it came to town.

Our family really loves The Backyardigans. The creativity that goes into their shows on TV and Live are incredible. It truly reminds me of being a kid and in the backyard, make believing and playing with my friends. Every time I watch The Backyardigans it is like a personal journey back into my childhood and it brings great memories and smiles to my face.

Both times we have seen The Backyardigans Quest for the Extra Ordinary Aliens, my little one has been in a trance watching every move of each of the characters. Her favorite character is Pablo, although she loves them all. This time she brought her plush Pablo and was holding it up to and dancing with it.

The wonderful thing about the show is that the kids are entertained by an amazing story line that has all the familiar songs built in. So the crowd was up and singing and dancing along with the characters on the stage. At one point the kids all ran towards the front of the stage and were dancing. It was quite the awesome sight to see.

Last year when we saw the show it was at the Abbotsford Sports Center. This year the show was at the Abbotsford Arts Center. I was more impressed with the Abbotsford Sports Center Venue. The Sports Center Venue is newer, cleaner, bigger and you are able to get snacks at intermission. The Abbotsford Arts Center is older, smaller, and the only way to get snacks it to line up at a vending machine that was emptied out before everyone could get something. That is a difficult thing when you have little ones wanting a snack.

Both Venues the seating was awesome and allowed for great view of the stage. The seats were comfortable and I like the access to the booster seats for the smaller kids at the Abbotsford Arts Center.

During the show this year, there was a small technical difficulty with the background images displayed on the screens. There are two large screens that images are projected onto to help make the scenery complete. At one point in the show the screen displayed an error message and then went black. It was black for about three minutes before they had it up and working again. Honestly though, I think it was just the adults that would have noticed the technical difficulty. My little ones and the ones around us did not even blink or make a comment at the black screen.

There was memorabilia available for sale and to me it seemed in line with the prices that are typically found at live shows. It is possible to find the products for less at stores, but as I said, the prices were definitely in line with what is charged at live shows. I was a little disappointed that they only had size 2 available in all the shirts. There were a lot of plush character stuffies and DVDs of their TV shows.

To make sure you know about The Backyardigans' tour dates, you can bookmark their Official Website. I would also recommend that you bookmark Koba Entertainment who is the company that brings us all the live shows for The Backyardigans, Caillou, Franklin, Doodlebops, Max & Ruby, Toopy & Binoo and Richard Scarry's Busytown.

I also recommend that if you wish to be the first to know about the Koba Entertainment Live shows coming to a City near you and to even receive pre-sale show codes, that you sign up for the Koba Entertainment Newsletter. If you are on Facebook you can also Follow Koba Entertainment on Facebook. Koba Entertainment runs contests on their Facebook page and one of the best was the PlayDate of a Lifetime that is now over, but where one lucky fan received a playdate with their favorite character from The Backyardigans or Toopy and Binoo. What an amazing playdate that would have been.

If you are looking for a show to go see, make sure to keep in mind that Richard Scarry's Busytown might be coming to a City near you soon. Tickets are already on sale and we have our tickets.

Our American friends are very lucky because the Max & Ruby Bunny Party is touring in the USA and tickets are on sale now for that show as well. I really wish this show was coming to Canada as my little one is CRAZY about Max & Ruby also. Hopefully they hop up North to Canada.

For other Max & Ruby fans, the Bunny Tales DVD is now available.

If you have a little fan of Toopy & Binoo and live in Quebec, then the tickets for their February 7 March 2012 Quebec Tour are now on sale for Toopy & Binoo And The Marshmallow Moon. We have seen the Toopy & Binoo and the Marshmallow Moon show and if it was coming to a Venue near us, we would be going to see it again.

For those Toopy & Binoo fans that have been waiting and wanting a Patchy Patch plush doll, he is now available.

I hope that you enjoy the shows as much as we do.

Phineas & Ferb The Best Love Tour Ever

We were recently lucky enough to get to go see Phineas & Ferb The Best Live Tour Ever. I have to say that the show was spectacular.

When I looked around the audience, even the adults were smiling and singing. The show was for sure a fun event for all ages and I recommend that you check out the locations that it is coming to and go see it if you can.

The show was a live performance with a story line that followed the format of their TV show along with a concert all wrapped into one. It was very enjoyable. I would go see it again without hesitation even if it was the exact same show that I would be seeing.

In the Venue we were at, there did not appear to be a bad seat in the house. With ticket prices at: $26, $32, $55 and $70 plus service charges via Ticketmaster, it is apparent that Feld Entertainment made sure to have a price range for almost everyone.

This is how Feld Entertainment explained the show;

"Feld Entertainment’s latest live stage production, Disney’s Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever! takes audiences on a wild adventure with Phineas, Ferb and the entire Tri-State Area gang, as they spend the last day of summer creating the greatest invention ever. Inspired by the hit Disney Channel series and TV’s #1 animated show among tweens ages 9-14, Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever! is packed with witty humor, high-energy choreography, brilliant lighting effects, audience interaction and 14 hit songs from the animated series plus a never-before-heard original song written by “Phineas and Ferb” creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh.

Disney’s Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever! brings these television characters to life for the first time. Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Isabella, Baljeet, Buford and the rest of the Tri-State Area crew go from video to live action before the audiences’ eyes as they slide from the screen onto the stage. The performance unfolds as the gang decides to put on a show to make the last day of summer the “best day ever” but soon realize that they have too many great ideas for the show. Phineas and Ferb build an idea mash-up machine to combine their favorite ideas into fun and exciting musical numbers. Meanwhile, the audience sees Agent P, the alter-ego of the boys’ pet platypus Perry, in a way he’s never been seen before, doing stunts and tricks as he attempts to ward off Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s most evil ploy yet.

“For the first time ever, we take characters that begin our show in animation and have them transform into live action right in front of the audience’s eyes,” says Producer Alana Feld. “While maintaining the integrity of the characters, we present them in a whole new way that can only be done on stage.”

The story for Disney’s Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever! is woven around the popular songs from the series. Throughout the performance, audiences will rock out to “Gitchee Gitchee Goo,” “Squirrels in My Pants,” “Backyard Beach,” “Busted,” “Today Is Gonna Be a Great Day,” “Summer Belongs to You,” and more, plus the all-new song, “We’re Gonna Put on a Show,” which was created exclusively for Disney’s Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever! by Povenmire and Marsh.

“Seeing Phineas, Ferb and the gang interpreted in a live stage show is a bit surreal and emotional,” Povenmire and Marsh declare. “After living with them as drawings and animation for so long, it’s amazing to see them actually moving around and feeling very human and real. We love it.”

Directed and choreographed by two-time Emmy®-nominee Fred Tallaksen, Disney’s Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever! features nonstop musical productions where Tallaksen combines slapstick comedy, classic and contemporary movement, tumbling, and amazing stunts to draw families into a well-known yet never-before-seen world.

With four Emmy nominations under his belt, writer Bradley Zweig creates a parallel universe on stage, with outrageous inventions and surprises advancing the plot that was derived from the content of the songs. “We have an amazing script, and our cast has done a remarkable job bringing each character’s role to life,” says Tallaksen. “The flashy dance numbers, amazing lighting effects and in-your-face acrobatic action really blows audiences away.”

Audiences will enjoy an assortment of different dance styles and movement throughout the show, including a reggae hip-hop beach party; a Broadway chorus line with top hats and canes; futuristic-themed acrobatics; and flashy, contemporary dance routines. The seemingly random changes in topic and quick movement from scene to scene that are hallmarks of the television show are exhibited on stage using pop culture references and unexpected events. One of the most memorable moments is when the boys combine Baljeet’s idea for a Bollywood number with the Fireside Girls’ desire for giant marshmallows. Tallaksen blends an Indian dance celebration with giant marshmallows.

One of the more critical elements in bringing this animated gem to life rested heavily on Costume Designer Cynthia Nordstrom. To accurately represent each character’s persona in relation to their environment, she had to follow the geometric designs, funky symmetry and block colors native to the TV series.

“Creating the costumes for this show certainly had its challenges,” explains Nordstrom. “We needed to be mindful of the acrobatics in the show, particularly involving Agent P and Dr. Doofenshmirtz, so crafting costumes that supported a lot of unusual motions was imperative. In addition to the intricacies involved in creating durable attire, we still needed to make sure the outfits translated into real life and accurately portrayed each of Phineas and Ferb’s visions.”

Every costume was specifically customized for each scene and incorporates a unique fashion form that captures the humorous and edgy elements from the show, from pants with squirrels on them to LED outfits for the disco miniature golfing number.

The eye-catching props and set pieces play pivotal roles in placing the characters in their surroundings. Scenic Designer and Feld Entertainment’s Vice President of Scenic Elements, Rick Papineau, and his team spent more than 4,000 hours designing and building an iconic on-stage setting.

“We really enjoyed creating an assortment of displays to satisfy the various wacky inventions in each production number,” says Papineau. “The props immediately set each scene, and the most important factor is making sure they are recognizable and relate to the overall theme of the show.”

One of the most impressive scenic pieces in the show is a 13 foot tall monster truck with giant marshmallow tires piloted by Buford. Other props and scenic displays include customized scooters with marshmallow launchers, a science lab to accommodate Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s crazy hijinks or “-inators,” and a custom-made jungle gym for Agent P, complete with treadmill. Perhaps the most critical piece that Papineau designed is the giant slide that transports the characters from the video screen to the live stage, which sets up the entire show.

Enhancing the impact of the props in Disney’s Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever!, nearly 1,000 lighting and video cues are triggered by software that helps create all the different settings in all the production numbers. Lighting Designer Sam Doty designed 27 gobo patterns that transform the stage, going from a bright and sunny summer backyard to a mysterious purple and green ambiance for Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s lab.

Disney’s Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever! is playing in more than 80 cities throughout North America and, with a high-powered storyline and award-winning musical ensembles, will have audiences everywhere experiencing the fun of summer — all year long!"

Above states that the show is for Tweens, but I think that they are truly underselling the show. My 4 year old attended the show with us along with our Tween and my 4 year old was enjoying the show just as much as our Tween. A glance around the audience showed that there was a large attendance of the younger than Tween crowd as well that were all singing and bopping along to the music and excitement in the show.

I loved how all the characters entered the stage and I will not mention how they did it here as I do not want to wreck it for you. It was very impressive for the crowd. I also loved how the show interacted with the audience. Here is a tip for you, if your little one gets asked to go with one of the supporting characters, tell them to say yes. It will turn into an awesome experience that they can brag to their friends about. That is all I will say

As far as the memorabilia goes; they were all typical costs for items found at Disney events and all well done so you will likely want to purchase at least one.

There are shows running from now until into April. Check out the Official Phineas and Ferb Tour website to see if the show is coming to a city near you.

About Disney’s “Phineas and Ferb”

"Created by Emmy® Award-winning Dan Povenmire ("Family Guy") and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh ("The Simpsons" and "Rocko's Modern Life"), this stand-out comedy series follows Phineas Flynn and his stepbrother, Ferb Fletcher, as they set out to optimize every day of their 104-day summer vacation, dreaming the impossible dream – and then doing it, including building a rollercoaster or a beach in their own backyard. Unbeknownst to them, their pet platypus Perry has a double life as suave secret Agent P, deftly battling the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz to save the world. Meanwhile, older sister Candace is aghast at her brothers' antics and makes it her life's work to tattle on them to Mom and Dad, though somehow she can never seem to catch them red-handed.

Renowned for its sophisticated and good-natured humor, clever songs and noteworthy guest stars, "Phineas and Ferb" is a fan favorite in every major territory. It airs on Disney Channels and Disney XD channels in more than 168 countries and in 34 languages, reaching more than 279 million unduplicated Total Viewers worldwide.

With a 100 episodes and counting, a live action/animated talk show and an upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie, the success of "Phineas and Ferb" has created demand for extensions of it and opportunities for other Disney divisions, including Walt Disney Records, Disney Consumer Products (action figures, apparel, accessories, grocery and health and beauty items), Disney Publishing (books, comics), Disney Interactive Studios (Nintendo DS and Wii games) and Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment (DVDs)."

If you are a regular follower of my blog then you know how much I love Teething Bling pendants.

If you have not heard of Teething Bling then I am about to tell you about a product that I think is stylish and practical all wrapped in one to make an amazing product.

That is a photo of the Amethyst Donut Shaped Pendant and is one of my favorites. Honestly thought, it is truly hard to find just one favorite. I love so many of them.

If you are not sure what the Teething Bling is for, it is a teether and necklace all wrapped into one. Makes for a gorgeous and styles pendant around your neck and a teething product made from a food-safe, phthalate-free, federally-approved silicone for your little one. With a Teething Bling around your neck, your little one will be able to use it instead of your collar bone, shirt, other metal necklace and so on. Brilliant idea and amazing product.

To be honest, my little one is too old now and does not need a Teething Bling anymore, but that does not stop me from sporting the bling around my neck. I find it stylish just as itself

The newest member to the Teething Bling family is the Ring Pendant.

We are so happy to announce that one of our fans will be the lucky winner of a Teethling Bling Ring Pendant of their color choice, courtesy of Smart Mom Jewelry.

The contest is open to Residents of Canada & the USA who are over the age of 18 years old.

I feel extremely lucky to live so close to the Capilano Suspension Bridge. It is a breathtaking to say the least.

I could probably not write one more word and just show pictures to you of the Capliano Suspension Bridge and you would want to be going. I will write a few words though, but first a picture.

There is enormous history to the Capliano Suspension Bridge that starts back in 1888 when "George Grant Mackay, a Scottish civil engineer and land developer, arrived in the young city of Vancouver in Canada. Mackay purchased 6,000 acres of dense forest on either side of Capilano River and built a cabin on the very edge of the canyon wall. The bridge, and Mackay's cabin, became a popular destination for adventurous friends, dubbed Capilano Tramps. After his death, the hemp rope bridge was replaced by a wire cable bridge in 1903."

You can read more about the History of the Capilano Suspension Bridge on their Official Website under History.

You can also check out all the Awards that the Capliano Suspension Bridge has won.

I keep saying Capliano Suspension Bridge, but there is more to this attraction than a breathtaking Bridge.

"Originally built in 1889, Capilano Suspension Bridge stretches 450 feet (137m) across and 230 feet (70m) above Capilano River. Since then much has been added to the twenty-seven acre park. CLIFFWALK is the park's newest attraction - a cantilevered walkway clinging to the granite cliff high above Capilano Canyon. Treetops Adventure, seven suspension bridges through the evergreens taking you up to 100 feet (30m) above the forest floor, offers a unique squirrel's eye perspective of the forest. Guided nature tours, the Kids' Rainforest Explorer program and the Living Forest exhibit enhance this unique rainforest encounter. Enjoy musical entertainment and First Nations culture. Take photos at the Totem Park and with the Capilano Tramps. Top it off with a visit to the gift shop full of quality merchandise from all over Canada and great homemade fudge! It's all in a day's fun at Capilano Suspension Bridge."

I recently had a chance to try out the Lalabee Bathworks line of products and I was very impressed with all of their products.

I am always very interested in trying out creams, soaps and bum balms because my little ones in my house have eczema. So we are always searching for great products that work well on helping their eczema and not stinging their skin when applied.

Every time I get a new product to try, I try it on myself first. I really love how silky the Lalabee Bathworks cream is. The gel body shop is really nice as well.

For both products you do not need to use a lot at all. The cream covers very well with a small amount and leaves the skin silky smooth and feeling refreshed. A small dab of the soap on a sponge or bath puff cleans the entire body. So both these products go a long way.

I am also so happy to say that the Lalabee Bathworks products worked amazingly well on my little ones for their eczema. The products did not sting them and left their skin nicely moisturized and feeling so soft. These are products that I will for sure rely on to use for my little ones.

Right now I am having an Auction on my Facebook Page and you can bid on some Lalabee Bathworks Products there, but only until January 7th, 2012 when the Auction Closes.

Additionally, courtesy of Lalabee Bathworks, we are giving away three Bottom Balms to three of our lucky fans.
