There’s an old adage that “the only difference between men and boys is the cost and size of their toys” !

All my grandson Slugger who’s 3 talks about is “big trucks” – which to him, means only one thing – Monster Trucks!

Monster Jam Trucks

Both my husband and I attended the Hartford show at the XL Center on Saturday. My charming son-in-law’s parents were visiting from Vermont for his dad’s birthday, so we met them there along with the grandchildren and made it a family event. We all enjoyed the thrill of watching these beasts careen around specially built tracks, twist, turn, flip over and gyrate at the command of skilled drivers!  Slugger, however will have to wait until he’s 18 before he can become an official Monster Truck driver.  For now, he’s content to be entertained while watching the Monster Jam videos on my iPhone and sliding all over the floor wearing out the knees of his pants while he pretends he’s a Monster Truck driver while playing with his favorite Monster Truck, Grave Digger.

What is a Monster Truck?

Approximately 12 feet tall and about 12 feet wide, Monster Trucks are custom-designed machines that sit atop 66-inch-tall tires and weigh a minimum of 10,000 pounds. Built for short, high-powered bursts of speed, Monster Trucks generate 1,500 to 2,000 horsepower and are capable of speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. Monster Trucks can fly up to 125 to 130 feet (a distance greater than 14 cars side by side) and up to 35 feet in the air!

On the day before the show, the Monster Trucks were on display at several area Advance Auto Parts stores in the Hartford area. My husband and youngest daughter checked out Crushstation, from Maine. They had a chance to talk to the driver and ask questions. They found out that the body is made from fiberglass by a boat builder, and costs approximately $65,000 just for the body!

Before the show started, we all went down to the Pits to check out the Monster Trucks up close, check out the dirt track, and got to talk to the drivers. The lines were long and all the kids and grandchildren were patiently waiting to get autographs and a photo-opp! The Pits were open for 1-1/2 hours before showtime.

The audience was entertained with a pre-show exhibit of quad race wars before the actual start of the show. It was fun to watch and the kids were pumped up for the actual show to begin! The show itself lasted approximately 2-1/2 hours.

We all brought ear plugs because it’s quite noisy when the trucks start up and rev their engines. As this is truly an entertaining sport family event, there were many, many young children there. Earplugs and ear and hearing protection devices were available for purchase in the lobby, so we bought the grandchildren, ages 3 and 5 each a set. The kids enjoyed wearing them because they looked like they were wearing Monster Truck tires on their ears!

There’s an old adage that “the only difference between men and boys is the cost and size of their toys” !

Although I’m a mom of two girls, I now have a charming son-in-law and a young grandson, Slugger, who’s 3 years old.  I’m learning all about trucks and toys that little boys are interested in!  I just have to tell you that all Slugger talks about is “big trucks” – which to him, means only one thing – Monster Trucks!

Disney On Ice 100 Years of Magic is performing at the XL Center In Hartford, CT now through January 16, 2012. New England and Connecticut moms and dads, grandmom and grandpa can receive a $5 promotional discount offer on tickets! This is one event you don’t want the kids or grandkids to miss!

Connecticut was treated to Opening Night on Thursday of the Disney On Ice show at the XL Center in Hartford, CT and it truly was magical to watch the grandchildren enjoy  the excitement of watching their favorite Disney characters come to life before their eyes!

This year, Disney celebrates with 65 unforgettable characters from 18 beloved stories as they come to life in Disney On Ice celebrates 100 Years of Magic! Join the one and only Mickey Mouse, the irresistible Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio, and all the Disney Princesses in a skating spectacular you’ll remember forever.

Disney On Ice presents 100 Years of Magic!

I’m fortunate that my grandchildren live close by. We enjoy spending family time together and this time last year I had the opportunity to attend the Disney on Ice Mickey and Minnie’s Magical Journey with my oldest daughter, charming son-in-law and my two grandchildren; my grandson Slugger and granddaughter ‘Lil Moomette.  While the grandkids enjoyed last year’s show, what a difference a year makes in their attention span!

Family Memories

Slugger is now 3 and in preschool and ‘Lil Moomette is 5 and is in Kindergarten.  Before the show started she recognized that one of her friends from school was at the same event, and they chatted up about how excited they were to be there.

The kids recognized many of the beloved Disney characters – Mickey, Minnie, Ariel from the Little Mermaid, Pinnochio, Pocahantas, Snow White, Lilo and Stich,  Toy Story, Beauty and the Beast as well as  The Lion King.

The XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut was the perfect venue for this kid-friendly performance.  While last year our seats were slightly to the left of center stage, and provided excellent viewing, this year they were even better!  We were right “on the ice.”  I was speaking before the show with one of the seating attendants who’d been with the XL Center for about nine years.  He told me that the Disney performances are set up to accommodate crowds of about 3,000 to make it a more “intimate” experience.

Prior to the commencement of the event, an announcement was made that there would be theatrical smoke, however it was safe and not hazardous to anyone’s health.  The audience was encouraged to take photographs to preserve family memories.

The average age group of the child attendees ranged from approximately 3 to 8 years of age. The performance thoroughly engaged the crowded XL Center and lasted approximately 2 hours, with about a short 20 minute intermission. There was just enough time to hit the restrooms and get a beverage, popcorn and cotton candy to keep the little ones happy.  Many of the little girls in the audience were dressed in Disney Princess costumes and tiaras!

Costumes were colorful and the action was non-stop! I didn’t hear any crying babies or see any fidgety kids!

Before the show started, I treated the grandkids to some souveniers – Slugger opted for a Buzz Lightyear toy, while ‘Lil Moomette came home with an Ariel the Little Mermaid doll. The enthusiastic crowd marched along with the skaters and the kids were treated to some pyrotechnics fireworks displays in front of the Magic Castle during the Finale for effect.

Memories of a lifetime for kids of all ages – the young, and the young at heart!

Take Small Business to the Next Level

Since I’m from New England, normally I travel up north to Vermont a few times a year, and visiting the King Arthur Flour company store or taking their baking classes is on my bucket list. My friend from New Hampshire keeps saying she’s going to take me there one of these days.

Supporting small businesses, especially a local small business, has always been a priority of mine. Just recently I participated in Small Business Saturday on Facebook. My mother-in-law was a local small business owner of a cheese and gourmet shop back in the 70s, although the most she tried to expand her reach was to open a second brick-and-mortar store in an adjacent town.

As a Tastefully Simple independent consultant small business owner, I have a website where I sell specialty beer bread mixes, dips and sauces. Since I’m a mompreneur, I rely on social media networking communities such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest to help with the web sales and internet marketing end of my mom-owned small business.

On the internet marketplace Bonanza, I’m also a small business owner and have a boutique website where I sell and offer vintage sewing and craft patterns and other home items for families.

Like King Arthur Flour, as a small business owner I’m trying to expand my reach via social networks, gain name recognition and develop a national customer base.

To attain my goals, I recently switched to using the Google Chrome web browser as my primary internet browser. After experiencing multiple browser crashes when using Firefox, I’ve found Google Chrome to be much more reliable than any of the other browsers I’d been using.

If you’re a small business owner, make it a New Year’s resolution to let Google Chrome help take your business to the next level.

Turning a New Leaf

What have we done?

Here I am, the blogging Baby Boomer Grandmom from New England.  NEW ENGLAND!

Land of four seasons – Spring, Summer, Fall and … Winter!

Winter – which in most people’s minds, means, snow, cold, more snow, more cold; ice, more snow and ice, slush ….  and real Christmas Trees!  You get the picture.

Having been married seemingly forever, we’ve always had a r.e.a.l. tree.  Right – REAL, as in not artificial.  Nope, not us.

There’s plenty of Christmas tree growers here in Connecticut, so the Hubster and I had been trudging through the woods (and agricultural Christmas Tree farms) here in Connecticut, in all kinds of weather (see above, and add rain) to cut down (with a saw), a real – live – natural Christmas tree.

Over the years, we’ve had some that barely fit through the door.  Actually, the first year we were married and in an apartment (where no live trees were allowed), we ever so silently dragged our real.live.tree up the stairs and through the hallway and set it up in our living room.  Until, oh, maybe February?

When it was dry as a bone, we then opened the living room window and shoved it out from the 2nd floor to the ground, where it landed – not a needle on it!

Although the homes decorated for Christmas with live trees look pretty, talk about having to clean up a mess every year – with the dry heat here in New England, cleaning up the pine needles that have fallen to the ground, or that the various fur balls over the years have chewed up, is certainly a challenge.

So what makes this year different than all those others?

Now that the kiddos are grown and launched, I am simplifying my life and have decided I wanted an artificial tree.  Mostly because they come pre-lighted, and I don’t want the hassle of having to string the lights by myself since nobody else will help me.

We drove for about 5 hours looking everywhere – Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, Home Depot again, and finally gave up trying to find one that looked like a natural Christmas tree.  Not to be one to give up, a light bulb went off and I got the idea to call my brother-in-law (he & sister-in-law with the straight out of  Martha Stewart Living beautifully decorated home) and asked where they got their artificial tree.

So off to the locally-owned Vinnys we went.  They had such a beautiful selection and even the Hubster is happy!  Only thing missing was the real.live.tree smell.  Nothing that a  Home for the Holidays Yankee Candle couldn’t fix.

And of course, to go with my beautiful tree – I found the most gorgeous vintage Battenburg Lace white Christmas tree skirt on Bonanza!

So here it is, in all it’s splendor, and my very favorite Christmas ornaments adorning it for the very first time.

Do you have a real.live.tree or have you gone the artificial route? Link up here!

I am sharing my holiday home decor and cleaning tips for the chance to win prizes from The SITS Girls and Great Cleaners.

 Yankee Candle Co.

The candle scents are delightful, and each one becomes a favorite!  Years ago there was also an antique car museum that the Hubby would enjoy visiting, but sadly, it’s no longer there!

We took the grandkids on a daytrip and enjoyed the Christmas Village, dip-your-own DIY candles, visit with Santa, the food court, Pandora jewelry display, New England furniture decor,  specialty foods and so much more!

 

 

 

 

My favorite scent for Christmas is Home for the Holidays.  What’s your favorite Yankee Candle scent?

Victorian Architecture in Hartford

Some of these historical homes and apartments along Capitol Avenue in Hartford are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

I took these scenic photos of many of the beautiful brownstone buildings, doors and ornate wrought iron gates while on a daytrip walking tour of Connecticut’s capitol.

New England Photography

From Wickipedia:

The term Victorian architecture refers collectively to several architectural styles employed predominantly during the middle and late 19th century. The period that it indicates may slightly overlap the actual reign, 20 June 1837 – 22 January 1901, of Queen Victoria.

Power Outage Light

While our family enjoys camping as a hobby, we don’t enjoy camping out in our own home during a snow storm. Although we have a generator, it’s a good idea to have emergency apparatus such as LED battery powered camp lights and LED  lanterns, as well as a flashlight lamp at the ready, should one … run out of gas.

We’ve camped at KOA Campgrounds of America in Vermont; State Parks such as Hammonasset in Connecticut and Pawtuckaway in New Hampshire.  As a family, perhaps our favorite place is camping up at Cape Cod by the National Seashore in Massachusetts.

My daughter and charming son-in-law could have used some of the lighting products from Powermax, a company that sells quality flashlights and lanterns.

Either a flashlight lamp or a LED lantern would have come in handy  one night while  camping at Rocky Neck State Park in Connecticut.  While set up in the tent area before the kids bought their RV Pop-Up, the nightly pilgrimage to the restroom facility was quite a hike along unlighted, dark wooded paths.  If it wasn’t for my son-in-law from Vermont recognizing the snorting sound that a skunk makes, he and my daughter would have had a chance encounter of the unpleasant kind with a skunk who was just out and about minding his own business!
