vintage 1980's Disney on Ice poster

I used to see the television promotions for Disney On Ice when I was a little kid back in the early eighties. I thought the show looked so beautiful as I watched the commercials. But although my parents were great about taking us kids to lots of shows and amusements, we never got around to seeing those Disney characters on ice skates live and in person.

So while I claim that I now attend Disney on Ice to entertain and delight my own children, often the kid in our family who is most excited is me. But as I have written about previously, my son Charlie and daughter Eve thoroughly enjoy the Disney on Ice shows, and they are happy to introduce little sister Alice to this favorite family outing, too.

Disney On Ice Celebrates 100 Years of Magic  is here in Washington, D.C. at the Verizon Center February 15-20, and in Baltimore at the 1st Mariner Arena February 8-12.  The show features a retrospective of kids’ favorite Disney characters over the past century, beginning with ol’ Steamboat Willie himself and all the way up to the gang from Toy Story. Eve is especially looking forward to her favorite girl warrior Mulan. And my cheesy heart is ready to see the  figure skating art is choreographed to old school Disney songs I adore like “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.”

Tickets can be purchased at all Ticketmaster outlets via charge, by phone at 800-551-SEAT, via www.ticketmaster.com  and at the Verizon Center and 1st Mariner Arena box offices.

Who?Comics iPad App for Children Age 8 and Up

Our kids believe the iPad is a just one big gaming tool. Angry Birds was the gateway, opening up a world of fruity sous chef-dom,  cute monsters cutting ropes, even rainbow tooting unicorns.

You know, VERY intellectual.

I know there are a good deal of iPad apps out there that will better stimulate my children’s minds, I just have not yet explored. (I’ve added that activity to #549 on my to-do list.)

However, I do read to and with all three of children daily. Bring on the frozen Trader Joe’s nuggets, the bakery-ordered birthday cupcakes, even online games with burping candy, but I hope that the reading every single blessed day will somehow get me a passing grade when mothering report cards come out.

So when the Clever Girls asked if I would check out the Who?Comics biography iPad app for children, it seemed a worthwhile activity to share with Charlie (eight, in second grade) and Eve (nearly six, kindergarten). My husband Chris and I use the iPad primarily to read newspapers, magazines and books, as well as research the new headway made daily by app developers.  Why not involve the kids in also using the iPad similarly?

Official Who?Comics description:

Read about the lives and achievements of some of the greatest people in history, both past and present, in a 150 page long comic book form.
These comics are educational and fun to read. Instead of boring plain text, give your children a new, enjoyable reading experience that is light and easy to read in comic book form. But even before the children can start, parents won’t be able to stop turning the pages, too.

Who?Comics series contains the life stories of 10 of our greatest leaders of today and 19 historical figures of the past. Read and learn about the amazing lives of Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Clinton, Steven Spielberg, Joanne Rowling, Barack Obama, Warren Buffett, Stephen Hawking, Nelson Mandela, Jane Goodall, Bill Gates and much, much more.

You can even collect badges easily as you read the comic books and even try to find and collect hidden badges for each great figure.
Who?Comics provides a fun badge collecting experience that both children and parents will enjoy. Everyone can get caught up in the fun of badge collecting and eventually discover and develop their new found reading habit.

The who?Comics app costs $9.99 on iTunes. There are two free biographies included in this price, Bill Gates and Oprah. Additional biographies to store on your who?Comics bookshelf are $4.99 each. or you can buy the entire set of biographies – 30 titles – for $29.99.

Charlie was intrigued by the notion of learning history comic-book style. This was his first experience with a graphic book that was not a superhero or Super Diaper Baby. He chose J.K. Rowling’s biography as our first Who?Comic to read together. He’s a huge Harry Potter fan, and he has been intrigued by the idea that one person thought of all those stories and spells and fantastical names and plot twists. Although the comics are geared toward children age 8 and up, Eve heard us reading the comic in the other room and she jumped in the bed with us too. The J.K. Rowling was a great story to “hook” Eve since the beginning involves young Joanne “Jo” Rowling’s imaginative childhood and her little sister.

My kids loved reading this 150 page biography together. I read aloud, they read along with me and looked at the graphic manga-style drawings (podotree, the developer, is based in Seoul). I thought the fictionalized dialogue was a bit cheeser at times, but my kids responded to the dramatizations. I think they will better remember the stories because of the funny jokes and awkward lines. I have no idea how much of some of the lesser plot items in the biographies are based upon research, and which items were filled in by the authors in the spirit of items gleaned from interviews and other biographical sources.

But then, most of what I know about Mark Zuckerberg I learned from The Social Network, so who am I to judge.

Since I let Charlie choose the first Who?Comic, I chose our second and selected the biography of Martin Luther King, Jr. I thought this biography was appropriately meatier. Charlie and I read this one without Eve, although I believe it was not too much for her. But reading about Dr. King one-on-one allowed Charlie and me to have some solid older kid discussions about civil rights, segregation and race. I read this one solo before involving Charlie, because I wanted to ensure that those topics were handled with age-appropriateness while not glossing over the severity and horrors of segregation and discrimination. I also wanted to see how Dr. King’s assassination was handled in pictures, and I believe it was portrayed accurately but not sensationalizing the violence. (The accompanying picture shows Dr. King wincing and falling as a bullet non-gorily enters his cartoon body.)

In summation, I think this is an entertaining and educational app. The proof for me? The kids enjoyed this app even more than me.

What are you doing New Year’s Eve? The A Parent in Silver Spring crew will be attending a family-friendly board game marathon (Apples to Apples, anyone?) with the kids at our amazing neighbors’. Chris and I have decreed NYE amateur night in DC and surrounding suburban hot spots, and besides, after 12 New Year’s together we have spent our share of twelve-thirty-ones drinking champagne from a bottle while dancing on a speaker (OK, that was just me). We had our wild date night on December 26 when the crowds were festive but less panic attack-inducing, and Grandma was in town for free babysitting.

Besides, there is no one else we’d rather ring in the New Year with than our three beloved babies. I bet some of you feel the same. So pop open the Martinelli’s and read on for ideas for your own kid-centric NYE parties!

Midnight Noon at the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore, featuring Milkshake

10:00am-2:00pm on December 31, free with paid admission, free to members. For the fourth year running, this fab family-friendly museum is celebrating New Year’s at noon so the little ones can be part of the fun. Music by Milkshake, crafts, hats and noisemakers, snacks, science and more! Details.

First Night Events in the DC Area – Alexandria, Annapolis, Falls Church, Fairfax, Leesburg and more

Instead of hitting “the club” (really, why is there always a “the” in front of club? is there only one?) with a bouncer, why not hit an alcohol-free family event with a bounce house? About.com DC has the scoop on all the local First Night celebrations in our area.

Outdoor Ice Skating at Rockville Town Square or Downtown Silver Spring Outdoor Ice Skating

Rockville just opened on December 28, and Silver Spring’s outdoor ice rink is perfect for kid beginners. Both feel festive and festivus-y, without the huge lines of the Scuplture Garden Ice Rink (though you can’t beat this downtown DC rink for it’s beauty).

So long 2011, and happy 2012 to you all!

Love,
Jessica, Chris, Charlie, Eve and Alice McFadden – The A Parent in Silver Spring Family

Our Christmas photos were all taken by the incredible Marian Lozano, whose session was SUCH a gift. And of course Marian captured our most wonderful Christmas gift of 2011: Becoming a family of FIVE!

The Water-skiing Santa
Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 2011, 1 p.m. FREE. This crazy fun event has a water-skiing Santa, flying elves, the Jet-skiing Grinch, and Frosty the Snowman performing on the Potomac River.  Best view of Santa and crew is from National Harbor. No matter the weather, this event is on!

Visit Santa at the Mall
Our-Kids has a comprehensive list of all the shopping spots where Santa is chilling in a comfy chair awaiting kid visitors and photographs. My personal endorsements for Santa meetings (as someone who once took her kids to City Place Mall in Silver Spring on Christmas Eve where an 18-year-old boy was playing Santa??) are:

• The Shops at Georgetown Park

• Mazza Gallerie 

• White Flint Mall (there’s a train)

• Tysons Corner Center (there’s a train)

• Westfield Wheaton (there’s a train)

• Montgomery Mall (there’s a train – check out this Facebook group, hilarious)

College Park Aviation Museum
One of the best miniature train displays is at the Aviation Museum, where the display is historically accurate and  trains, villages, tunnels and depots spark the imagination while bringing history to life. The display is on until the 23nd, but the museum is open every day except Christmas and New Year’s Day. Also, on Thursday at 10:30am experience the Peter Pan Club for preschoolers and on Friday from 2-4pm kids age five and up can be a part of the hands-on fun for Afternoon Aviators.

Christmas at Mount Vernon
Mount Vernon is decking the halls for a special daytime program November 25 – January 6. Holiday visitors will enjoy themed decorations (including 12 Christmas trees), a gingerbread replica of the Mansion created by former White House pastry chef Roland Mesnier, chocolate making demonstrations, and a rare opportunity to tour the third floor of the Mansion. In 1787, George Washington paid 18 shillings to bring a camel to Mount Vernon for his guests’ enjoyment. During Christmas at Mount Vernon, visitors can meet Aladdin the camel. Christmas at Mount Vernon is included in general admission: $15 for adults, $7 for youth (6-11), and free for children five and younger. Mount Vernon is open every day of the year.

Seasons Greenings at the United States Botanic Garden
See the outdoor train garden, enter the Conservatory and enjoy a colorful display of poinsettias and other winter-blooming tropical plants, and the National Mall in miniature, a replica created with natural plant materials. 100 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC at the foot of the U.S. Capitol. Regular hours 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Open until 8 p.m. with live music on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout December.

Bowling
One snowy Christmas break we started the family tradition of hitting the bowling alley when the kids were off school, and it stuck. Highly recommend bowling to the holiday tunes for daytime fun.

Please tell me that YOU too are in the midst of mad holiday shopping.

If you were one of those awesome types who had this all done last month, the cards addressed, the names drawn in your family gift exchange, the packages wrapped and sent and perfectly selected for each loved one’s personality and needs…well, I salute you. (And I will try not to hate.)

But if you are anything like me and the mad mad mad mad crazy year I am having, RIGHT NOW is when I am finally getting my Christmas and Hanukkah gift act together. This morning was spent selecting items for family members and busting out the credit card for lots of online shopping.

Smart phones and tablets are two gifts which are especially needed by loved ones — much more necessary and coveted and up for daily use than another cashmere sweater — but those seem to be the hardest to purchase for another. Seriously, what will make someone happier than a brand new fabulous phone? Or a sweet Samsung Galaxy Tab that your gift recipient can begin surfing the web with right on Christmas morning?

Thankfully, T-Mobile has made the process of selecting and purchasing personal technology devices like smartphones such as the myTouch and the myTouchQ and tablets for our spouses, parents and kids easy and affordable!

I was excited to connect with T-Mobile, not only for the giveaway of the myTouch phones here on A Parent in Silver Spring, but also at a special blogging expert holiday shopping event. At the event, local bloggers and I learned from T-Mobile the following useful tips for selecting a smartphone or tablet as a gift (two items that I know my own mom, on her old flip phone and ancient desktop computer, can really use!)

The fabulous #TMobileHolidays #DC blogger event at the Tysons Corner T-Mobile store.

• It *IS* possible to purchase a smartphone for someone who will pay for service on their own account. You simply purchase the device at the no-annual contract price and pair it with a Monthly4G prepaid service so the recipient can start using the phone right away and decide whether or not they want to sign up for a contract term later. T-Mobile offers a variety of Monthy4G no annual contract and Pay by the Day plans.

• You can purchase a smartphone and service for the recipient on your existing account just by adding a line or upgrading a line. T-Mobile offers a Value family plan with unlimited talk, unlimited text and unlimited data with 2 GB of high-speed data for only $49.99 per line for two lines.

• You can give a smartphone as a gift to someone on your family plan as an upgrade and activate service after the phone has been unwrapped to maintain the surprise!

• Your gift recipient can return and exchange their technology gift. Upon activation of a new account, T-Mobile contract/upgrade customers have a 14-day trial period (30 days in California) during which they can cancel service without paying an early termination fee. For phones purchased from T-Mobile at full price without a contract or service, customers may return the device within 30 days. In both contract and non-contract scenarios, the following restocking fees apply: $25 for phone-first devices and laptop sticks, $50 for smartphones and $75 for tablets and netbooks.

I hope these tips are helpful to those of you, who like me, are frantically shopping for our people from our computers right now.

And I hope these two randomly-selected myTouch winners, drawn from all of the comments, Tweets, Facebook Likes and Shares on last week’s post, are filled with holiday spirit at their good luck:

• Lolli of Better in Bulk won the myTouch with her comment regarding plans and gifts!
• Cristie Ritz-King of The Right Hand Mom won the myTouchQ with her Tweet entry!

Thank you everyone who entered! I hope you enjoy the holiday gift giveaways and may you all have very successful (and easy) gift procurements in the next crazy weeks.

Fabulous blogs in attendance at the #TMobileHolidays #DC event and GREAT reads!

For our family, heading to National Harbor to check out ICE! and all of the Christmas on the Potomac features at Gaylord National Harbor has become a holiday season tradition. And we loved this year’s version of the ice sculpture wonderland, ICE! Dream Works’ Merry Madagascar.

Yes, King “I like to move it,  move it” Julien and friends pictured above are crafted completely from blocks of ice.

Our Freeze and Fun Day Pass included bundling up in the warm blue coats the ICE! attraction loans you and walking through ICE! with its Merry Madagascar theme. Of course, we had to try all of the FIVE indoor ice slides!

We also enjoyed a new feature this year, the  “Character Passport” Meet & Greet in which our children were excited to meet (and hug) a slew of Dreamworks characters in the atrium of the Gaylord National Harbor Resort. Shrek, Puss in Boots, Po from Kung Fun Panda and Gloria from the Madagascar movies were all waiting in a special Dream Works village created just for kids.

Also available for families is ice skating on an indoor rink and a mini train ride within the ICE! tent, a Puss in Boots Quest for the Magic Beans Scavenger Hunt in the Gaylord, and gingerbread house decorating with Gingy from the Shrek movies. You can also reserve tickets for Brunch With Santa on Saturdays and Sundays until Christmas Eve.

Worth the drive alone is the (free) viewing of a 60-foot glass Tree of Light in the atrium with indoor nightly snowfalls nightly and 2 million twinkling lights.

ICE! featuring DreamWorks Merry Madagascar is open daily through Sunday, January 8, 2012 including holidays

Disclosure: My family and I were given Freeze and Fun Day Passes for review from Gaylord National Harbor as part of a Momz Share holiday party. All opinions expressed are my own.

I want to be as healthy as possible and use organic products on my skin whenever I can.

I also want to look as pretty and young as I can non-surgically, and I look wistfully at all the high-tech skin treatments in the beauty magazines and dream of magical “zappings” that will make my face look like it did 10 years ago.

I thought that when it came to facial treatments, that you had to choose one or the other. You either go organic and holistic, which is good for you but won’t “zap” all the old, sagging, aging guck, or you succumb to a high-tech dermatologist up-sell that costs a fortune and works, or costs a fortune and makes you look weird.

Thankfully, I was wrong.

I had an organic facial AND microdermabrasion Sol Facial at The Still Point in Takoma Park. And now my face looks awesome! It is smoother, less fine-lined and freckled, more glowing and I have had a decrease in blocked pores. From the moment I left The Still Point until now, three weeks later, my facial skin has looked better than ever. 

The Still Point’s holistic skin treatments incorporate an exclusive assortment of organic and natural skin care products to focus on what your skin needs to become healthy and beautiful. We offer 3 levels of facial treatments: graduating from the mildest, most soothing experience to the highest level of intensity to give long-lasting and dynamic results. Please let our experienced estheticians know if you have any concerns so that they can guide you towards the custom service that best suit your needs.

I have never before had immediate results from a facial.

I have had lots of facials in my lifetime, usually at Aveda and at some other independent salons or spas. My experience previously was that it was fun to take time out and be pampered, drink tea and cucumber water, but then the estheticians spent a lot of time on the “extraction” (aka professional blackhead mining and pimple picking.) And then there was the end of facial trying to get me to sign up for an expensive series of treatments and products. That part always made me panicky. Of course I want to look better, but as I am signing the receipt for a $100+ facial is not the time to tell me that unless I buy a small jar of $80 cream I will be a sun-damaged, zit-infested mess.

This time The Still Point esthetician Angela Spicer (pictured with me, above) soothingly assessed my skin, created a womb-like experience with massage and comfort, and made me completely relaxed as she applied completely organic, food-grade products by The Body Deli to my skin. There was no extraction. Then she used sonic microdermabrasion resurfacing to refine the texture of my skin, smooth fine lines, lighten age spots and acne scars. This was the Sol Facial, The Still Point’s “ultimate anti-aging skin and most intense, results-driven facial.”

The Sol Facial and Angela unearthed my baby skin, especially around my nose, upper cheeks and eyes. It is visibly smoother and my pores look smaller. I look younger. Now, I’m 36, not exactly geriatric. But this was the perfect treatment for me, as I have been lately seeing some big changes on my face as sun damage is catching up with me.

After discussing the facial products I currently use, Angela did recommend a new face wash for me…a HUGE bottle of Sage and Grapefruit cleanser by The Body Deli that only cost $28 and will last a long while, and it smells so fabulous, containing all natural ingredients including kale juice, tea tree oil, dandelion and importantly, 2% salicylic acid to control breakouts. I also picked up an affordable anti-oxidant-packed Osea Sea Minerals Toner for just $15. Now, those are the kind of product recommendations that will not make a girl panicky!

Then Angela, also an accomplished makeup artist, gave me a quickie 7 minute eco-makeup application, using all eco-makeup products offered at The Still Point. I looked naturally great. If I ever have a big event to attend, I will definitely be contacting Angela to give me a glamourous, eco-savvy look that I know will stay put without a bunch of bad chemicals and not result in a big breakout the next day.

The Still Point and Angela also provide professional eyebrow styling for just $25, and I will be taking my nail-salon-lopsided-wax-now-super-grown-out visage to her STAT.

Additionally, if you are following my new passionate love affair with acupuncture (My First Acupuncture Session Changed My Life), I have since had the Full Body Acupuncture treatment/new client intake session with the incredible Justine Short. My experience was phenomenal. And my results were even more dramatic this time. I have had lasting relaxation and peace, less anxiety, less urges to stress eat, and a dramatic desire to make healthier eating choices…this all in the midst of a VERY packed, anxiety-inducing week of work and baby and volunteer commitments and husband out of town. And after an affordable deductible is met, my health insurance will be reimbursing me for 80% of my treatment. Check with your own plan today!

Disclosure: The Still Point provided me with a complimentary Sol Facial, valued at $145, and a quickie eco-makeup application (thanks Angela!) for journalistic review for this website. However, I would have happily purchased these services and will be returning soon on my own dime for continued treatment. All products were purchased by me. After the initial gifted review Intro to Acupuncture, all acupuncture treatments I receive at The Still Point are purchased by me.
