How to Throw a Kid-Friendly Greek Mythology Birthday Party
Do you have a child who loves Greek mythology? Do you want to make their birthday party a memorable and educational experience? If so, you might want to consider a Greek mythology theme for their special day.
Greek mythology is full of exciting stories, characters, and symbols that can inspire your party planning. We know we get inspired with all that our daughter Nikki shares with us about Greek mythology. 😉
Here are some ideas to help you throw a kid-friendly Greek mythology birthday party.
Cloud Nine Birthday Party Ideas
Princess Tiana Birthday Party Ideas
Every year we commit to a birthday theme that our daughter picks. It is our way to bring magic to her big day. This year to mark her 7th birthday, she decided to have a Princess and the Frog theme as she loves Princess Tiana.
This theme was incredibly fun to do as we had to use our imagination and creativity to create our decor as there isn’t much in the market to purchase on this beloved princess.
Here is how we created a Princess and the Frog inspired birthday party.

Pumpkins After Dark Brings Spooktacular to Another Level
As we entered through the gates of the Pumpkins After Dark in Milton, we were excited to see what was in store for us. As we waited to go in, we entered a tent where we saw some magnificent carved pumpkins in a glass case. We even got a chance to get some hot chocolate that was absolutely delicious as it kept us warm that chilly night.
World of Barbie Tour Experience
World of Barbie Tour was an experience that my sister and I have always dreamt of doing especially with our daughters. We use to play Barbies all the time when we were younger and now we play Barbies with my eight-year old daughter and her four-year old daughter.
Therefore, we had to get tickets to check out what seemed to be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Entering World of Barbie Tour, the energy was exciting as it was BARBIE’S WORLD! We were able to go in about five minutes before our timeslot.

The Chuck E Cheese Birthday Party Experience Of A Lifetime
Chuck E Cheese the place where a kid can be a kid. Known for their pizza parties and arcade games, you can expect loads of fun for everyone.
After attending our first Chuck E Cheese birthday party back in April, it was only natural for our daughter to fall in love with this party idea. We are big on Nikki’s birthdays and we like to give her memorable birthday parties. They always end up being a lot of work for me to do; therefore, I was definitely on board to have the party take care of itself in a sense.
Here is our personal take on the Chuck E Cheese birthday party experience.
Celebrating the Season with Santa and Aqua-Tots Swim Schools

Great Mom’s Night Out | Tully Hits Theatres
There is no denying that motherhood is one of the hardest jobs to do in the world. Often times a mother’s reality is forgotten on the sacrifices, hard work and dedication that is done every single day.
Motherhood is full of laughs, love, triumphs, challenges and at times a lot of crazy. Sometimes a night out is what we need and there is a movie hitting theatres just in time for a mom’s night out.
Harlem Globetrotters Dribbles Into Our Hearts At The Hershey Centre
“The atmosphere at the Hershey Centre was electrifying as fans wait for the arrival of the prestigious Harlem Globetrotters. You can’t help but feel pumped even if you have never seen them before.” – Momma Braga
Eggciting Fun At Aqua-Tots Swim Schools
Fun, Swimming, and Easter Eggs…Oh My!
That is what the Easter Egg Hunt Event was like at Aqua-Tots Swim School Mississauga on a crisp sunny Sunday afternoon.
We were thrilled to attend this member-exclusive event which was an all-ages and complimentary with the annual membership to the school. It is one of the many great perks of registering at Aqua-Tots Swim Schools.
Paw Patrol Live! The Great Pirate Adventure
It is hard not to sing along to one of the most popular shows for kids, Paw Patrol. We have been watching Paw Patrol for over two years and if you have small children in your family then you probably have been surrounded by it everywhere you go!
So when my sister-in-law got us tickets to Paw Patrol Live! The Great Pirate Adventure, I was thrilled as I knew my 3-year-old would love it. The tickets were purchased back in January and instead of telling my overly excited daughter about the event, I waited until the day of. If I told her in advance I would have to listen to Nikki ask me EVERY single day if it was Paw Patrol day; therefore, for the sake of my sanity I waited until the day of. I know many parents can relate to this too! 🙂
Harlem Globetrotters Are Dribbling Into The GTA
The Harlem Globetrotters are dribbling their way into the GTA for five games with their 2018 Amazing Feats of Basketball Canada Tour.

Sesame Street Live Brings Back Fond Childhood Memories
The theme song to one of my favorite shows growing up warms up my heart as I attend Sesame Street Live with my three year old daughter. Never thought that we would be able to enjoy a classic together but here we are at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga for Sesame Street.
Experiencing WWE NXT Through The Eyes Of A Child
We love watching and following the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and we have been fans for many years. You might have remembered a few articles that I have written on WWE and we can’t forget the very entertaining videos that my daughter has done in imitating the wrestlers entrances. So it is no surprise that when we heard that the WWE was returning with their ever so popular NXT live tour, we had to purchase tickets especially since it was being held at the Hershey Centre. It was so much closer to home!
Toronto’s Baby Show Brings It All To New Parents
Exclusively in The Baby Spot
On September 23rd, The Baby Spot and Momma Braga got inside access to the ever so popular Baby Show Toronto at the Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place. We were excited to see the latest products, vendors, workshops and seminars at our fingertips in one convenient space.
We arrived at the beginning of the show and we could tell it was going to be a busy day as more people arrived. The layout was beautifully designed where it made it flow easier for the crowds. It truly is a popular show!
Toronto’s Hidden Chocolate Tour Delight
Exclusively in The Baby Spot
A little Momma Braga fact to all my amazing readers and fans is that I am a chocoholic. I have been since I could start eating chocolates and from what I can see from past photo albums, it started in my toddler years.
Therefore, when I was invited through The Baby Spot to attend a Chocolate Tour in Toronto by Tasty Tours, I just couldn’t say no! I was so excited about the tour that for weeks that is all I could talk about. I had some family members who even giggled and thought how perfect this tour was for me and I couldn’t agree more! 😉
The WWE Experience…Another First for our Family
The music starts to play and out comes Enzo Amore and Big Cass to their high energy entrance. The crowd goes wild as Enzo and Big Cass start their opening monologue. And you can’t help but follow along with repeating their catchphrases such as “How you Doin’?” and “You Can’t Teach That.” So it is no wonder why people and families are intrigued by WWE wrestling as their sports entertainment go to.
Our family is a WWE family in the truest sense of the word as we watch every episode week after week, and attend as many WWE events in our area as possible. It wouldn’t be out of the norm to even catch us using a WWE catchphrase every now and then.
Nikki’s First Live Event
My husband and I are wrestling fans, but more specifically, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) fans. We watch WWE Raw and Smackdown every week on TV (in case you do not know, these are the regular shows that they air) and Nikki really enjoys watching it too. However, she is not watching the entertainment of wrestling but she is watching the entrances that each wrestler has to get inside the ring. The colours, music, sounds, and the bigger than life characters are all what interests her to the TV. Naturally, when we heard that the WWE was coming to Toronto for their Holiday Live Tour Event, we knew we had to take her.
