Buffalo Bill’s Cowboy Band at The Rose Theater Review

Isaak's been anti smiley in photos lately.

We love going to The Rose Theater! It was fun taking a trip back in time to see Buffalo Bill's Cowboy Band.

About the Play:

Buffalo Bill was an adventurer, a cowboy, a buffalo hunter, a Pony Express rider, and a showman. At the turn of the 20th century, thanks to his outrageous Wild West traveling shows, he was the most famous man on earth. He was a man so famous that he had a city named after him: Cody, Wyoming. He tells stories about fighting along side people, and staring death in the face.

And in the center of that town was a hotel named after one of the people he loved most in the world:

His daughter Irma. One week, on a long train trip from Omaha, where his Wild West show started, to the Irma Hotel, Buffalo Bill looks out on a West very different than the one from his childhood, and he tells his daughter his story.

The Set:

The set design was a little more simple on this show. It took place on a train. I wish I could have taken more pictures, but there was no photography on this show.

Cast:

 By Max Sparber

• Buffalo Bill: Matthew Pyle
• Irma: Stephanie Jacobson
• Conductor: Bill Grennan*
• Girl Cowboy: Sarah Carlson-Brown
• Boy Cowboy: Robby Stone

They actors had a lot of lines, and did a great job remembering them.

Tickets Please:

Best for ages 6 and up. Isaak loved it, and he's close to 7. Mica liked it as well. He's 9.

This was a show more for little kids I felt. I'm just not a cowgirl at heart. I did love all the old footage that they showed throughout the show on a big screen.

Time: 70 minutes with no intermission. Go to the bathroom before you head into the show.

Call The Rose Theater for tickets 402.345.4849

Prior to each Sunday performance, University of Nebraska at Omaha history professor Elaine Marie Nelson will share a pre-show presentation on William Cody and how his exhibition changed America, affecting us to this very day.

After the shows they have a question answer time with the cast. Isaak's had his hand up every time to ask a question, but there are a lot of kids there to ask questions. This time he wanted to know how they made the sound of the gun going off? I should email the question, but The Rose Theater is good about getting back to kids with answers! They even mention to email them.

I think any show that The Rose Theater has is great for kids. My boys just love going there!

Bulu Box Review

I do like healthy monthly box subscriptions. Bulu Box was one I told you about awhile ago. This post is a follow up from that.

The perfect partner in the pursuit of a healthier you, Bulu Box is like having a personal trainer and a nutritionist as a best friend. 

If you go and buy all these things in the store it will be over the cost to get a Bulu Box. I love the variety. I like trying things I just haven't tried before.

Here's what my box came with:

I was hoping there would be a little more in the box.

It also came with a promotional Bulu Box magnet, that has words on it to break off and make sentences. My boys have been having fun making sentences. Then they've been arguing when their sentence gets messed up. When they argue over something I know it's because they love it.

Invivo Essential Fractionated Coconut Oil Review

Isaak has such dry skin. I've been using Invivo Essential Fractionated Coconut Oil directly on his skin after he's done with his bath. You can add essential oils to it to give it a scent. 

He does love the smell of peppermint, so I may add some drops of peppermint oil in the Fractionated Coconut Oil. I know it's more of a girly scent, but his bath is at night. No one is smelling him, but me. :)

The only thing I wish this product came with is a glass dropper, or a topper that would allow you to spray it on your skin.

You can also mix it with lotions, and shampoos. 

Cost 

The 16 ounce bottle is $32.99, but on sale for $14.88.  

Full of Benefits

This is far superior to avocado, sunflower, grapeseed, jojoba, hemp, almond, flax seed, or sesame oils. Their steam distillation process removes solids, leaving behind medium chain triglycerides and lightweight oil that remains fluid during storage even at room temperatures! Loaded with beneficial Capric and Caprylic acids and high in lipids, for indefinite shelf life!

I just about lost it when I went to a mall to get Isaak jeans. There was a guy at a kiosk trying to sell me lotion. He asked what I used on my skin? I said, "Oil." He thought car oil, or something. He obviously was not educated on what he was selling, and what other products were out on the market. 

Gentle 

What I love is that this can be used with lotions, creams, essential oils, and moisturizers. It can even be used on mixed complexions. It wont clog pores or leave skin feeling greasy.  

#1 CHOICE: For medical industry, massage therapists, and certified amomaherapists. Penetrates skin quickly and completely making it perfectly suited for use with essential oil and other therapeutic additives. You can even use it on the scalp without it looking oily.

Works great even in a spray bottle, or roll on applicator, leaving you feeling beautiful and young. As I said above I do wish that it came with another nozzle to spray it on. 

I'm glad I'm finally using coconut oil that's meant just for the skin.

Jiva USDA Organic Split Moong Beans Green 2 Pound Review

This time of year it seems like we eat soup a lot. It's easy, and it tastes good!

I got Jiva USDA Organic Split Moong Beans Green 2 Pound to review. A $9.99 value.

Split Moong Beans are from the highest quality, organic Moong available. This is a very common Indian lentil, and is also known as Moong Chilka or Moong Split.

Moong is of very high purity, and is non irradiated or ETO treated and is grown in certified organic farms in India. There is no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Beans have excellent health benefits and are commonly used in the Northern part of India.

It contains no cholesterol, and very little fat. It's a healthy addition to those on a diet. It's full of protein and fiber.

I decided to make a soup with some of my Slit Moong Beans. I made Spinach and Moong Beans Curry Soup.

Spinach & Moong Beans Curry Soup

It was a hit with Dad and I. The kiddos didn't like it as much. They're not big fans of Indian food all together. The adults love all of it. We have a rule in our house: You have to try new foods once. If you don't like it, I won't make you eat it again. We don't throw food away. I do like this rule. It has made our kids open minded with food.

I served it with rice, in the end I dumped the rice into the soup, and ate it all together. It was great that way!

Do you have any favorite Indian dishes?

Sing, Sing a Song Saturday

Sing, Sing a Song Saturday is all about me discovering something that is different. I don't want to post things that you and I have more than likely heard before. I want to find something different. It could be from another country, someone singing from the streets of NY, and more.

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to sing, or play an instrument after eating a ghost pepper? It's hard to function after eating one. Some people sweat, some cry, eyes water, mouths pant, and I run for a gigantic glass of milk to drink. I couldn't imagine singing, or playing an instrument after eating a hot pepper of any kind.

Source

The Danish National Chamber Orchestra decided to stop playing in the middle of Tango Jalousie, by Jacob Gade to eat a ghost pepper. They kept playing, and felt the results after about a minute.

I have to say that they hung in there very well. Much better that I could!

Like them under their Danish name: Bevar DR Underholdningsorkesteret
