My older daughter Briana was in school since she was small, and so transition to kindergarten was a breeze- at least for her anyway (I was a mess). Fast forward to her little sister, who has been mostly home with me for the last 4 years. Gia is very social and has been in dance, but
This week we had the chance to head into Manhattan and check out Cirque du Soleil’s Paramour at the Lyric Theater on Broadway. Already a fan of Cirque’s shows, we were excited to see them in a musical and blend both a Broadway story with their famous acrobatic performances.
