Check out this awesome Living Social deal for discounted tickets to see Zarkana, the newest production of Cirque du Soleil.

If you missed the dazzling spectacle last year, you’ve got one more shot at redemption, as Cirque du Soleil’s much-praised “Zarkana” enters its final run in the Big Apple before being permanently housed in Las Vegas. With today’s deal, score an exclusive opportunity to see the unbelievable show hailed as “aah-inspiring” by The New York Times and “truly spectacular” by the New York Post. Pay $81 for a front orchestra or first mezzanine ticket (up to a $143.45 value), $112 for a prime orchestra ticket (up to a $202.05 value), or $204 for a premium orchestra ticket (up to a $254.25 value) to the thrilling performance at Radio City Music Hall. Directed by the internationally acclaimed François Girard (The Red Violin), “Zarkana” describes the bizarre encounters of Zark, a magician who loses his powers and must brave surreal and mesmerizing creatures to retrieve his gifts. Featuring highly acrobatic feats, multimedia elements, and live music composed by Nick Littlemore, this is one show that’s sure to be an experience worth remembering. Settle in for what the Daily Newscalls “a musical and acrobatic spectacle” — before it leaves our fair city.

This deal will be available through Sunday 5/20.  Like all Living Social Deals, get 3 friends to purchase their tickets using your unique link, and you will get your deal for FREE!

I am going to be putting together a video to promote this year’s Shop4Charity event benefiting The Philadelphia Veterans Multi-Service and Education Center.

I would also like to use these photos/messages as part of the Wall of Honor that is going to be coming soon to the evets4chairty.org website and during the slideshow that will be on a loop during Shop4Chairty on 11/4.

I am in need of photos of people in the military, no matter what point in time, that I can use for this video. If you have a photo to share, please email it to me at email hidden; JavaScript is required with the name(s) of the people in the photo (if known), and if you want to include a brief msg to be displayed with the photo send that too. If you have multiple photos that you are interested in contributing, please send each as a separate email.

Thank you for your help!

I am often asked how I go about my menu planning for the week, and people are absolutely blown away when I tell them that I usually sketch things out a month at a time!

I have found that menu planning for my family saves us time and money, and I would like to share these tips with you.

During Menu Planning 101, we will go over the basics of why you should menu plan, but more importantly you will each leave with a workable one-month menu plan for your family as well as all of the tools and resources to successfully menu plan for months, dare I say years, to come!

Classes are approximately 2hrs long and will start promptly at 7pm. There will be time allotted for Q&A. Feel free to bring a notebook to class and any questions that you have so that I may address them throughout the program.  Also, bring your calendar so that you can refer to it when planning your family’s meals.

Cost is $15 in advance, $20 at the door.

Confirmations will be emailed out the week of the class.
