(Note – like all my reviews, this is spoiler-free! You probably already know the story but there are some new elements in this one.) Disney, it’s nice to see you again. My kids and I saw the new Aladdin this past week, at an advance screening, and wow, we loved it! We were laughing like crazy […]
Steeped Coffee: Coffee that Brews like Tea (Review)
Moms and coffee…we do love our morning brew, don’t we? I love my coffee, made frugally at home with some almond milk and sweetener like almond syrup or stevia. Personally, I like both coffee and tea, but recently I learned that there’s coffee you can actually brew like tea! It’s called Steeped Coffee, and it […]
My Escape to the Woodhouse Day Spa in Woodbury (Review)
As a frugal mom, I tend to be a do-it-myself kind of person. Like, doing my taxes. Doing minor repairs. Doing yard work (with the kids’ help, of course!). And I do all that not just to save money, but to know it’s being done right and honestly, because it feels good to be self-sufficient! […]

The Hobbit at Children’s Theatre Company is Minimalist and Imaginative (Review)

DUMBO Movie Review & Free Printable Activity Pages
Disney’s new live-action Dumbo is now in theatres, and my kids and I got to see an advance screening earlier this week. Like many, I had seen the animated classic as a kid, remembering it as a sweet, magical film, especially the sad scene when Dumbo longs to be with his mother as she is […]
Disney on Ice “Mickey’s Search Party” is the Best One Yet (My Review)
Our family has been going to Disney on Ice for years, and every show we’ve seen has been a magical evening with spectacular performances and memories. But this one – Mickey’s Search Party – I have to say was the best we’ve seen. In “Mickey’s Search Party,” Captain Hook and his pirates have captured Tinkerbell, […]
Our Winter Getaway to Spirit Mountain in Duluth
After a few months of mostly being cooped upside due to the all the cold and snow this winter in Minnesota, my family and I decided we needed to go somewhere fun to get away! So this past weekend we headed to Spirit Mountain in Duluth for an overnight visit to spend some time outside […]
Mary Poppins Returns is a Fast-Paced Nostalgic Ride on Steroids (My Review)
Mary Poppins Returns, in theatres December 19th, starts with the song “(Underneath the) Lovely London Sky” sung by the talented Lin-Manuel Miranda, playing Jack, a lamplighter in Britain during the Great Depression. Then we are quickly introduced to the busy household of the grown-up Michael and Jane from the original 1964 Mary Poppins. Michael’s wife […]
