Can you imagine what your kids would do with a full-sized drum kit and a sound-proofed room? How about an 8-foot gong or a room full of instruments that shake, rattle and bang? Exploring the world of percussion is just what you get with the Rhythm! Discovery Center, where you and the kids can find [...]

I have wanted to visit Columbus, Indiana for a long time. So I’m glad we were able to include KidsCommons in our group giveaway featuring local museums. My family had such a good time and we will definitely be going back! Located just 30 miles south of Greenwood, KidsCommons is an easily accessible destination for [...]

Growing up, we almost always had apple butter in the house. We primarily enjoyed it on hash browns or potato pancakes (if you haven’t tried that, you simply must!) I also loved spreading it on Ritz crackers and (don’t tell) eating it straight out of the jar by the spoonful. I think my mum bought [...]

I know pumpkin is top dog this time of year, but apples are one of my favorite flavors of fall. My family goes to The Apple Works orchard in Trafalgar, Ind. several times a year to pick up apples. They start coming in around Labor Day and can last till about March (just in time [...]

Last year was a really fun Christmas for us because it was the first year my oldest son had an idea of what was going on. But this year is turning out to be even more enjoyable…and it’s not even December. He absolutely LOVES all things Christmas. He loves the music, the stories, the TV [...]

Here is just another reason I love Pinterest. I just came across this pin for a site dedicated to free printables for food allergies. This site is so perfect, I had to share. They have templates for school posters, printable labels for lunch boxes and sticker templates you can use to identify you child’s allergy. [...]

If you have a question about a recipe or if you’d like to substitute an ingredient, she’s very good about posting a response [...]

Oh, how I love The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis! I bought my family’s membership through a daily deal site about 6 months ago and can guarantee that they have a customer for life…well at least as long as my kids are young.
If you’re from Indy, you know that the Children’s Museum is one of the best [...]

The summer is upon us…well, technically it’s still spring, but preschool is about to let out and I have 3 months of empty days to fill with fun activities for my family. What I love about summer is that there is so much to do…and plenty of opportunities to do it affordably. Of course we’ll [...]

I live in a family of sweet tooths. My husband and 4-year-old practically levitate when I tell them that I’m making a batch of their favorite chocolate chip cookies. But as much as I love to see them happy, I have a hard time serving up a pile of bleached flour, butter, white sugar and [...]
