In Barnes & Noble, I’m already like a kid in a candy store. So you can guess how amazing it was to be among the first to tour a newly designed Barnes & Noble! My kids and I previewed the new Barnes & Noble at City Place Shopping Center in Woodbury, which opens Wednesday, July […]
Pink Parasol Photography Will Change The Way You See Yourself (& Special Promotion)
(I collaborated with Pink Parasol Photography for this post. I did pay for my photo session and hair and makeup, which was 100% worth it. However, additional photos were provided for this review and future posts.) We’re all beautiful. And I believe that as moms we should all be photographed as much as we photograph […]
Our Experience at Huntington Learning Center
This year my daughter finished 5th grade. That means she starts middle school in the fall, which I can hardly believe. Where did the time go? This is a huge change for her, and will take some adjustment for all of us, I’m sure. My daughter does well overall in school, but from the homework […]
Toy Story 4 Review & Free Printable Activity Sheets
It’s the year of Disney sequels and live-action remakes, and Toy Story 4 is the next to bring nostalgia to the big screen. We saw it this past week, excited about another Toy Story movie, but wondering what this one could possibly add to the already successful franchise started in 1995. Did it add much? […]

Every time we see a production at Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis, we walk away smiling and wowed. Our experience seeing Matilda was no different. And with an all-star cast (featuring our favorites – Dean Holt, Reed Sigmund, and Autumn Ness), music, dancing and humor, and a solid story that pleases both kids and adults […]

(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! […]
