Valentine Craft #2
Another favourite by Martha Steward…these beautiful hearts are made from wax paper and crayon bits. Speaking of wax paper, am I the only one who has recently baked on wax instead of parchment or are there other mamas out there??

Two Great Shows for Families in March
I didn’t know anything about the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga until Chantal Kreviazuk performed there a few years back and we went to see her intimate show (it was amazing). The Living Arts Centre is a place where community members of all ages come to delve in arts related courses, programs and entertainment. It’s like a super-high-class community centre.
The Living Arts Centre’s Wiggle Club, showcases great performances for kids. There are two coming up in March that you may want to buy tickets for:
- Robert Munsch (1pm & 4pm , March 17th) Tickets are $20-$30.
- Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny (March 28th, 3pm) Tickets are $15-$25
Click here to find out more information about these and upcoming shows at this venue. To buy tickets offline, call the box office @ 1-888-805-8888
I think show tickets are an amazing birthday gift for a child and accompanying adult if you are looking for an original gift . If your own child is celebrating a birthday in March and you want to do something unique, you can have the birthday as part of the above performances… Call 905-306-6158 for more info on birthdays.
