You mean there are more than books?
November 14, 2008
I grew up thinking the library was all about books. Here in the city, it is so much more. Childish Films - At the downtown library they've started up their Childrish Films series. Every third Saturday of the month, they show children's films. (ages three and up) It is curated by the children's film curators from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival.

Frugal Summer Entertainment?
August 15, 2008
If you've been reading the other Being Savvy blogs around here, you may have noticed a great bunch of tips for being frugal. There was also a great post recently on that local paper's parent blog, Cribsheet about the high cost of going to "kid" events and how it gets to be a bit much for a few hours of entertainment.

City Guide - Twin Cities - Day 2
July 09, 2008
Well, now that you've done West side of the river, it is time to move East, to the older of the two cities, the one and only Pigs Eye, oh wait, I mean St. Paul. While Minneapolis has that nice grid of streets, we used to joke about the drunken Irishmen that designed the layout of St. Paul, and we most likely weren't far from the trust (about the drunk part). In other words, bring good maps. Read more...
Weekend plans for the working family
June 13, 2008
Being a working parent, who still tries to be an involved and interactive parent, comes with certain challenges. One of them is weekends.

It is shaping up to be a cool, wet spring and start to summer. M just stands at the window and points at all of the things she would rather be doing, while looking up at us expectantly. Here are five things you can do even if the rain is getting you down. Open Studio at Kiddywampus 18months 7 years - 8 bucks per kid, no reservation needed. My favorite part, they do Read more...
Littlest Piccaso
May 26, 2008
I was an art major, so I have been looking forward to kids art projects forever. When I was a nanny, it was one of my favorite things. I only wish I had access to some of these things. Art classes for the pre-school set aren't nearly as prolific as for school age, but there are some darn good options.
