Recently we were approached by the folks at Pirate’s Dinner Adventure with an opportunity to review their Pirate’s Dinner Adventure Christmas Show, “Pirates Take Christmas.” You can enter to win 4 tickets too! Enter below! I reached out to my sister to see if she would like to take her pirate-loving son for some holiday fun and here is what she wrote about her experience…
Pirate’s Dinner Adventure in Buena Park (across from Knott’s Berry Farm) is a dinner show experience like no other.
We took my pirate-obsessed son for his 3rd birthday and he was in awe the whole time. So, when we got the opportunity to go again a year later, I jumped at the chance. Especially since we would get the chance to see the “Pirates Take Christmas” holiday extravaganza featuring Santa, Mrs. Claus and an elf, who are taken captive by the pirates. Well shiver me timbers!
The performance is so entertaining with impressive acting, singing and amazing acrobatics. To get everyone in the Christmas spirit, the show includes some Christmas songs and the theater is decked out in holiday trimmings.

Are You Ready for a Change?
Parenting is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. In the peaceful times, being a mom is easy. The snuggles, the play time, the connection, the love. Oh, the love. If it were like this all the time, parenting would be a breeze. But then we would all probably have more children than we do right now, right?!
Then there are the times when I am left standing alone in the face of a sassy comment or bickering sisters or outright defiance, genuinely yearning for divine direction on WHAT to do to handle the situation because I just don’t know what the HECK to do.
Either that, or I react with a response I am not proud of or question myself as I wonder if I did the right thing? It’s those times when I start to question myself as a mom and think, “What am I doing wrong to make my child act like this?!” It’s an awful feeling, isn’t it?
But there is help for us moms!
If you are struggling with a specific parenting issue with your kids, or dealing with some undesirable and baffling behaviors, the great news is there is an Orange County parenting consultant you can turn to for guidance. Let her be the light at the end of your tunnel!
