I’ve watched the cartoon about a hand full of times and I have to admit, it was pretty darn entertaining. My two god-kids are absolute fans of the TV show and I believe the youngest one even has Phineas and Ferb pajamas, ha ha.
With “Phineas and Ferb” being TV’s #1 animated series among tweens 9-14, I know they’ll be really excited to hear about their live touring stage show is coming to SoCal in January.
.
Performing live on January 14 – 15, 2012 at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario!
Disney’s Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever!, brings Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Isabella, Baljeet, Buford and friends to the stage as they make the most of the last day of summer by building an invention bigger, better and more amazing than ever. Before anyone can wonder “Hey! Where’s Perry?,” the pet platypus dons his Agent P fedora, and hilarious hijinks unfold as he battles Dr. Doofenshmirtz to save the Danville Tri-state area and audiences everywhere from the evil scientist’s most havoc-wreaking scheme to date.
Audiences will be whisked on a high-energy ride that is part action adventure and part rock concert, while they move it and shake it to the soundtrack of hit songs from the animated series, including “Gitchee Gitchee Goo”, “Squirrels in My Pants”, “Backyard Beach”, and “Busted”. This is definitely a fun live stage show you and your family don’t want to miss out on!

I’ve found it pretty difficult to not spend tons of money on gifts this Christmas season, especially with Christmas only being a few days away. There are just too many cute things to pick up for the nieces and too many toys that my newborn nephew would just adore playing with…in 6 months, ha ha.
Yeah, I’m that aunt.
To be completely honest, I’ve gone way over my gift buying budget (shh don’t tell the hubs) so I’ve recently found myself looking for thrifty ways to give gifts to those I love without spending anymore cash than I have to.
Personally, there’s no better gift than something that’s made from the heart and I can actually use. And, in this case, eat. Yes, I said EAT…because honestly, who doesn’t love an easy and delicious dessert?
If you’re strapped for cash this holiday season or just want to give someone a heartfelt & yummy gift, I suggest you use one of these mouthwatering “dessert in a jar” recipes –>
White Chocolate & Cranberry Cookies in a jar
No-Fuss Bar Cookies in a jar
Pumpkin Pecan Dessert in a jar
Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies in a jar
Cheesecake in a jar
