This week my oldest daughter is on a mission trip, so my little one wanted an adventure with mommy! While I love visiting one of St. Louis’s many awesome attractions, I felt like exploring a neighborhood with my audacious little girl. Since I adore Jeni’s Ice Cream (I rated it as my fave in my St. Louis ice cream post), we decided to check … Continue reading Central West End (St. Louis)
So things have changed since I first started this article. Right now we’re all on stay at home orders and going to visit these bookstores is out of the question. However, I’m publishing this post now, because we all need books right now and all of these stores offer curbside pick-up and shipping. Some have even done well at keeping up with online content! This … Continue reading Independent Bookstore Tour
Pay no attention to the name, this is not your typical museum or about the city. They couldn’t name it, “Concrete Jungle Gym/Aquarium/Pedestrian Skate Park/Art Creativity Center,” so I guess City Museum just had to do.

I suggest spending a day to get to know this quirky suburb. Breakfast: Start out your day at Strange Donuts with this … Continue reading Day In Kirkwood
The first year of my family residing in St. Louis, I was a graduate student. Fast-forward many years later to the present and still I don’t bring in big bank as a school teacher. So I know how to do family outings on a budget. All the places I will be mentioning here definitely deserve your patronage, but sometimes you just don’t have the cash. … Continue reading Free Day Out
This past year, my husband and I decided to spend our annual weekend getaway (without the children) in St. Louis, as we don’t often get to experience the city as adults. In my research, several sites suggested the best couples’ weekend was to get out of the city and I thought we could do better than that. So here was our itinerary. FIRST NIGHT Where … Continue reading Couples Weekend
