Connect the Stars - Things to do When it Gets Dark Early
December 03, 2008
It may be a little bit until solstice still, but when it gets dark outside before you can even make it home it is time to find things to enjoy about the dark. Sometimes you have to be creative when you live up north. Besides, when are you going to have this much dark that doesn't involve breaking bed time rules. Connect the Stars - Older preschoolers may be able to find simple Read more...
Snow Fun #1 - Tubing!
December 01, 2008
The snow this last weekend has me in the holiday spirit, and thinking about all of the fun things we can do in it. While many of these things won't open for a bit, it is time to start thinking about the things to do to make all of this cold tolerable. Today's topic, tubing hills. Theo Wirth Park - On the 10th hole of the golf course they have already started to setup for the tubing Read more...
It Takes Two - Things to do a buddy
September 23, 2008
At not quite 18 months, M is still learning about making friends. Since she is at daycare, I'm really not all that privy to how that is going, mostly because she isn't really dishing on the details yet. The most I have heard was that one of the older toddler boys (2-3 years old) took her hand and was protective of her on the playground. (which I failed to tell her father for fear he might Read more...
Heeeeere Fishy Fishy Fishy

When I was growing up, I actually tried calling them, but it never worked. Fortunately my grandmother taught me how to do it the other way. My worms were always put in my hooks for me, and my grandfather always took the Read more...
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. I couldn't agree more. Summer may be winding to a close, but there are Read more...
ARRR! Pirates like lakes too!
August 07, 2008
September 19th may be International Talk Like A Pirate Day , but you can celebrate all year round. While it may not seem like it, Minneapolis is a great city for finding pirate treasure. Avast! Pirate Gear - I don't know if it was the recent string of blockbuster pirate movies or not, but there seems to be an ample selection of pirate gear available in these parts. The best I personally have Read more...
Around the World in an Old Sears Building
August 01, 2008
The old Sears building on Lake Street was an eyesore to some, and a giant mythical location to others (I always thought it looked cool). No matter what you thought of it, no one wanted to see it sit empty. When Sears announced it was closing, plans were put in motion to save it, and the neighborhood. It took some time, but the result was well worth it. The core of the space (in Read more...
