Cape Cod Central Railway Polar Express Review     by Amy Dellaposta - Dec 19th, 2012
  The Polar Express has always been my absolute favorite Christmas book.  When I was younger, my siblings and I would snuggle up to our father as he would read us the story year after year.  Now everyone has a different take on the book (even the movie version).  But for me personally, the meaning of the story is about FAITH.  It's about having faith in something … read full review here

Cape Cod Central Railway The Polar Express Train Ride Experience     by Charlene DeLoach - Dec 13th, 2012
  When I was given complimentary coach tickets for The Polar Express train ride on the Cape Cod Central Railway (Buzzards Bay, MA, Hyannis, MA) and the Saratoga & North Creek Railway (Saratoga, NY), I offered the tickets to my brother & his family because my soon-to-be four year old nephew is a HUGE Polar Express fan.

We took our first family trip as a family of four this past weekend and it was a journey all right….all the way to the North Pole! The Polar Express left the Cape Cod Central Railway station and headed for the North Pole at 8:15 p.m from Hyannis, MA.  We drove down earlier in the day and had plenty of time to watch the movie (one more time) to really build the excitement!

My kids love the Polar Express story so much, that even after seeing the movie a half a dozen times, Ryan still wanted to take the DVD out from the library.  James will watch it over and over too . Ever since the movie came out, we watch it as a family year after year. In fact, because I am late on returning the DVD, they are watching it as I type this. I heard that to ride the Pol… read full review here

Earlier this month, I told you about The Polar Express train ride that is available through the end of December.  Since we had the day after Thanksgiving off from work, we thought it was the perfect time to go make some memories, and kick off Advent a little early! We kept this as a complete surprise for the children, until we pulled into the station parking lot. We picked up our tick… read full review here

Super WHY Live! Super Why Live     by Debi Gerhart - May 13th, 2013
We were so lucky to be able to review Super Why Live. My girls love the show on PBS and it is such a fun show, I certainly didn't mind seeing the show. They did an amazing job keeping the show fast moving, and I loved how they handled all of the flying and scene changes. On the show, the characters are known to fly at times, or have the scene shift to a different place in the story. The live show … read full review here

kidecals Getting ready for camp     by Maria Long - May 20th, 2013
I could not have been more impressed with the labels from Kidecals.  They are printed on very durable paper and come in two sizes which will be perfect for my kids going off to camp this summer.  I really like the smaller sizes to use as name labels in clothing. Sure don't want to lose any clothes even if camp is just a week. I ordered a unisex style to use for both my daughter and son.… read full review here

Well, I can't think of anything bad. Brenda at Pixie Vacations was great to work with. She was prompt in answering all our questions. I really appreciated the reminder emails about when I was suppose to fill out paper work and make reservation for things on the ship.  I like the hints she sent just as we were getting ready to pack. Her timing was perfect. If she had sent them to early I… read full review here
