A Klingon Christmas Carol review

Disclaimer: The Fandads were invited to the press preview night of Klingon Christmas Carol all thoughts, opinions, and Hagh are our own

If you have been following the Fandads for a while, you know that I am a huge fan of Star Wars. In saying that, it does not mean that I do not know about Captain Kirk and his voyages with the crew of the USS Enterprise. I loved watching Star Trek when I was younger, but I really became a fan when watching The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. The stories in those series were just so cool and innovative and I tried to keep up with the shows as much as possible.

The Fandads are lucky to attend to many fun events throughout the year, but the one event that we always look forward to attending is the Chicago Toy & Game Fair. I mean, how can you not like going to an event where you can play with the toys and just be a kid again with your kids? Here is our recap of the event and some of the toys we played with at the event. 

Updated: American Girl Live Gets World Premiere this December

If you have a daughter, you have probably heard of American Girl. You have probably seen the dolls, the accessories, and the books and have seen hundreds of little girls walking around with these dolls. I think we have been lucky that our daughter never got into the dolls, but she loves reading the books. This December, we will be able to see some of the American Girls come to life in the brand new musical American Girl Live.

Ralph Breaks the Internet review

It's been 6 years since we last saw Ralph breaking havoc down at Litwak's Video Arcade. In 'Wreck-it Ralph', Ralph was trying to find a sense of belonging and ended up finding out in the wise words of Zangief the "just because you're a bad guy, does not mean you're a bad guy". Ralph found his place in the arcade and made a new friend in Vanellope von Schweetz. In 'Ralph Breaks the Internet" we catch up with our friends and see what's new with them.

Taking it one day at a time

I have wanted to write a follow-up to my post about my son's seizures and unbeknownst to me, my wife was writing her own post about it. So here is my wife's guest post which sums up what has been going on and what progress we have made. 

So this is the first time I’m publicly (at least on social media) talking about what happened to my son and what my husband and I have been through this past year with him. Maybe I’m still processing it, maybe I don’t know what to say, maybe I don’t want anyone feeling sorry for me, maybe I just don’t want to talk about it all the time. Whatever it is, I am talking about it now in order to bring #epilepsyawareness to light. November is #epilepsyawarenessmonth so it is time to talk about it. Bear with me until the end.

Experiencing the New CMX Market Theaters

Going to the movies is always an adventure, am I right, friends? We usually have to find a movie that the entire family would like to see which is sometimes hard if there is not a family movie playing at the local theater. We also have to go at a time when we know our children will be able to sit still for the length of the movie. So when we go to the movies, we always try to have a good time and exploring new movie theaters is one of those ways to keep the theater going experience unique and fresh.
