The Swarthmore Community Center has begun on the second floor of the center (located at 715 Harvard Avenue).  Playgroup is for children ages 9 months – 4 years. Children must be accompanied by an adult. We’ll play, sing songs, and read stories. We’ll also have special activities, parties, guests throughout the season.

Arden Theatre Company Beauty & the Beast

My family & I were invited to view the Arden Theatre Company's newest children's play, Beauty & the Beast last week & we jumped at the chance.  This wasn't our first Arden show, we've been to many of the Children's shows & my husband & I sometimes go without the kids too!

So let's clear a few things up quickly...this is NOT the Beauty & the Beast you think you know.  There are no singing teapots, forks, etc, in fact there is very little singing at all!
This Beauty & the Beast is set in Great Britain and it was a little dark.  We took our children 11 & 7 who loved the play & the way they used shadows to make the play come alive!  My husband & I both enjoyed the show as well, which is nice because it's hard to agree on shows as a family sometimes! I don't want to give away the set & special effects but it's very cool & interesting.




The Arden Theatre describes the play: "Meet two sisters: Cassandra, eager to experience life; and Belle, who is afraid of the world. After their father loses the family fortune, they leave London to start life anew. But nothing prepares them for what happens next. When Belle meets the Beast, she begins an adventure unlike any she could have imagined. From the team that created Arden’s Cinderella comes a bold new telling of this classic tale."  Best for ages 5 and older...which I would agree with, there were a few scenes that might scare our younger friends.  

 After the show, the actors wait on stage and answer questions from the audience then head to the lobby to answer additional questions and pose for pictures.  

 Beauty & the Beast runs through February 1st, 2015 and you can order tickets or request more information HERE!

Holiday Baking Tips from Miss A!



Holiday Baking Tips from Miss A

We all love the taste of a freshly baked cookie at holiday time. Each family has their own set of cherished recipes that are made each year. For most of us, baking has become a luxury due to our busy schedules running from here to there all year long, especially during the holidays. If you are in the mood for some holiday baking, consider these tips to make your holiday baking more enjoyable and less stressful! 

Plan it out: Choose a manageable amount of recipes to make. If you know your schedule is already packed, then don’t push yourself to make 5 different types of cookies. 2 well executed recipes are much tastier than 6 recipes you threw together. Once you have your recipes, sit down and look at all of them. Take stock of what ingredients you already have and what you need at the store. If you are making several different cookie recipes, consider shopping for butter, flour, sugar, and eggs at BJ’s or Costco. It will save you some money! 

Mix in advance: Instead of trying to make everything from start to finish in one day, mix all of the cookie dough over the span of a few days. If you’ll be baking the dough within a week then it can stay in the refrigerator. If you are working a few weeks in advance, it is perfectly fine to store cookie dough in the freezer. I like to wrap the dough in wax paper and place it in a gallon size reseal-able freezer bag. Another way to store the dough is to pre-scoop or roll the dough before storing in the freezer. This can be done with most cookie dough, even sugar cookies can be rolled and cut out in advance. I lay them out in a flat layer on a cookie sheet and separate multiple layers with waxed paper. 

Enlist helpers: Invite a friend over, open a bottle of wine, and bake together! Not only will you have an extra hand to help but it is a great way to connect with friends during the busy holiday season. Also, involve the kiddos! They can be great helpers when mixing dough, scooping, and cleaning up. More tips for baking with kids to come next time!! J
