Priscilla Queen of the Desert

Priscilla Queen of the Desert

That’s where Priscilla Queen of the Desert comes along.  Priscilla is a new(ish) Broadway musical that is now on tour across the country.  If you love Too Wong Foo, or Glee or anything  in that genre then you might {Read More}

MLP’s Main Line Private & Independent School Expo

I support an organization that is near and dear to my heart: Main Line Parent Magazine.  MLP provides resources for parents from exercise classes to art to educational information.  I’ve worked with this group many times (I was even a MODEL) and support everything they do.

Make the world a better place for kids. Call to Action.

SOB1

An Unconventional rarely makes any kind of political connections but I feel as if i would be remiss if I didn’t highlight a few important issues.

Preschool, the UK and Trifle

I taught them the poem “Pussy cat Pussy cat where have you been?” which we acted out {Read More}

It is about talking to the little ones about Big and Little. Most of them have an idea of the concept, but it never hurts to reinforce it. This first {Read More}
