The summer months are busy with activity around the Savings in Seconds house.  We have a time-consuming yard that my husband maintains with painful diligence. When I spend time working in the garden, my bones complain to me for hours afterward.   The smell of rub-on pain relief products brings back memories of the days my mom would use Ben-Gay after a long day’s work.  She had a very physical manual labor job in order to support our family.  The cream she rubbed on brought temporary relief but the scent lingered long after the effect wore off.  Now that I’ve experienced some health issues of my own, I’ve tried to find natural pain relief options  that are effective and, well, don’t make my hands smell bad.

My kids LOVE watching Super WHY! on PBS.  The characters are fun and colorful with exciting adventures in every episode.  I love letting my kids watch Super WHY! because it’s healthy imagination exercise.   It also encourages pre-reading skills that are so critical for preschoolers.  I am really excited that the Super WHY Live tour is coming to Knoxville, TN in July!!  We were offered tickets in exchange for a review. We’re really looking forward to it. My son has never attended a live show before.  I know it will be a great experience for him.  

In the live show, the characters (Super Why, Alpha Pig, Wonder Red, Princess Presto, Woofster) will explore what they’ve always wanted to be.  There should be lots of opportunities for audience interaction as well.  It will give me a good opportunity to talk with my kids about their dreams for the future.  We’re taking our 8 year old daughter too, because she’s a Super Why fan as well!   As I said, live entertainment is a good experience for young children and I think it’s a great chance for us to have good discussion about what my kids observe in the show.


I’m interested to see how the production team puts together the show.  The designers include a Tony Award-winning scenic designer as well as an Emmy and Tony-award nominated lighting designer.  The producers’ work include Yo Gabba Gabba Live!  so it should be a great show.  The show also features music from Jack Antonoff (see video below).   

Here’s a list of shows for the first leg of the 2012 tour:
