Panera and You Pick Two review

Amelia loves Panera Bread.  As would be reasonable, we started out getting her a children’s meal with macaroni and cheese and organic yogurt.  She fell in love with the chicken noodle soup, so she would still get a children’s meal, but then she would also steal most of our soup.  Parents can surely relate when I tell you that there are days when she won’t eat more than 27 servings of yogurt and perhaps some fishy crackers.  So, when she requested both macaroni and cheese and chicken noodle soup of her very own, what else were we to do?  Now that one of the side options is a dinner roll, she scoops out the center of the roll and pours the soup in, creating her very own bread bowl.  We imagine it’s just a matter of time before she is ordering her very own grown-up sized bread bowls.

HelloSanta.com review

HelloSanta.com offers an extra special memory for the child and family that stands out among other Santa encounters.  No long lines, no crabby photo salesman, and a super personalized experience.  Amelia was most impressed that Santa knew the name of her teacher and Elf on the Shelf.  We were impressed with the video of the experience sent after the call.    Overall, it was a magical experience that Amelia won’t soon forget.
