The circus is coming to town!

Or at least, to many towns.    I can still remember the excitement of going to the circus when I was a child – the sounds, the lights, the daring acts, the animals… And I’ve wanted to take my own kids ever since they were born. We haven’t been able to make it yet – but I am determined to take them when the circus comes here to our town in a couple of weeks.

Many of us moms remember the magic of the circus from our own childhoods – one of the rare things that we can now pass down to our children as well. The circus has had such an influence on us as moms, in fact, that in a recent Mom Central survey, 88% of Moms regard it as a “not to be missed” childhood experience. And I would definitely agree with that!

When you attend a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus you create precious memories that will last a lifetime. I still remember being amazed by the elephants, astonished by the artistry and daring of the trapeze and acrobats, and amused by the many clowns. As one mom said, the circus is “worth every smile and mesmerized stare.”

Courtesy of Mom Central, my family was able to receive a DVD of the 137th Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, a program book, and several clown noses. My kids have looked through the book every single day since and are already excited about going to the circus for the very first time. They are really looking forward to seeing the trained horses and dogs – and the elephants, acrobats and clowns too, of course.

I’m excited to also let you know about a great offer for those of you who live in the following cities – you can save 20% off of tickets prices by using the code: MCC when you order your tickets!
