It starts with a glass. It ends with a baby.
If you’re looking for a thrill, check out the Family Raft Ride at Water Park of America. And the good news is you can bring the whole family on it, young to old. During a recent visit, we assumed that my 3-year-old wouldn’t be able to go on any of the waterslides outside the Fort [Read On]
Although you’d expect a large fitness center like Lifetime Fitness to be pro-family, the opposite sure seems to be true. Sure, the facilities have childcare centers but that’s because they operate under the assumption that children should be kept away from the grown-ups.

I don’t believe in paying full price for anything. Because of that, I tend to gravitate to second-hand stores and consignment sales. My favorite place to pick up baby/kids clothes are the Just Between Friends sales here in the Twin Cities. Every spring and fall I go and buy my daughter’s entire wardrobe for [Read On]
I have to confess something. If you give me a coupon, I will drive 30 miles out of my way to use it. I’m saving money! Really. (That’s what I tell myself…) My best friend was given a Happenings book in October, just a few weeks before all the coupons expired, and so we were [Read On]

I have been a Minneapolis resident for one full year. I still haven’t eaten at all of the restaurants within a 10-block radius. Back home, I had not only eaten at all the restaurants in town, but I’d worked at half of them. I don’t have a favorite grocery store, although I’m narrowing my choices [Read On]

Over the past two-and-a-half years, my daughter and I have explored a lot of the water parks in [Read On]
Are you a city dweller pining for nature? You don’t have to drive far to find peace and quiet. Silverwood Park in St. Anthony is a 15-minute drive from downtown Minneapolis.

It went like this… I’d just gotten back after a week in the Carribean on the island of St. Croix with my mom and aunt. So I hadn’t seen my boyfriend of 2 years in a week, and we decided to spend the whole weekend together. On Sunday, we went over to his parents in [Read On]
