March 31, 2015 By TC Frugal Mom

Space: An Out-of-Gravity Experience is now open at the Science Museum of Minnesota. Our family attended on a weekend recently and we had a BLAST. If you’re thinking of visiting during spring break, know that it’s super busy so it’s recommended that you make a reservation online. Otherwise, try to visit on a weekday another […]

I’ve just finished a trial membership to ClassPass, a new platform to fitness, and here’s my review of my experience!

February 18, 2015 By TC Frugal Mom

There’s a hidden gem for families in Ham Lake, just north of Blaine, called Brown Family Adventure Park. I had no idea it was there myself, until I recently found a coupon for them in my Kidstuff Coupon Book. Brown Family Adventure Park is located at 14200 Lincoln St. NE, Suite 500, in Ham Lake. […]

Bachman’s Indoor Watch ’em Grow Garden Review (Great Gift Idea!)

February 12, 2015 By TC Frugal Mom

A beautiful spring Minnesota garden in winter? YES! Bachman’s Floral, Gift & Garden creates what’s called a “Watch ’em Grow” garden, which is pretty much exactly how it sounds: they’re small container gardens planted with a bunch of spring bulbs (Tulips, Daffodils, Hyacinths, and Muscari) which are designed to bloom in the winter, so that […]

Rounded Plate: A NEW Board Game for Kids to Improve Eating Habits in 21 Days!

February 3, 2015 By TC Frugal Mom

Before having kids I thought this whole “raising kids to be smart, healthy eaters” would be a cinch. After all, most of the food I buy for my husband and myself is whole, nutritious food like whole grains, lots of fruits and vegetables, and organic foods whenever possible. Now with a 7- and 4-year-old, I’ve […]

January 13, 2015 By TC Frugal Mom

I’m a health-food snacker. I love anything that tastes good and is healthful, too (especially now in the winter as it’s so tempting to hide under a blanket and snack when it’s some-crazy-number-below-zero-outside!). This is why I was happy to try snacks sent to me by Food Should Taste Good to review with my family. […]
