Wabasha Trip
For a long time, I’ve heard about the National Eagle Center and wanted to go. This summer, we made it happen. The drive was stunning with cornfields, bluffs, and the river.

Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota
When I lived in the Twin Cities, I thought there was only one Children’s Museum in the state. I had no idea there were several others and I really had NO idea that there was a complete gem close by in Mankato. Words can’t fully describe all the wonderful parts of this museum and how…

Augsburg Adventure Park
I was pleasantly surprised with this park and the amount of time we were able to spend here. We were planning a get-together for 20 people, including 13 kids. Kids ranged in age from 4 months to 14 years old. This park was a centrally located spot for all of us, so we decided to…

Valley Veggies & Flowers
This is the perfect time of year to build your own bouquet with a group of friends, your kids, your mom, or whoever you want! Last September, I took my girls, along with my mom, to pick a bouquet and had such a fun experience cutting and arranging the flowers. The farm is chemical-free and…
