For spring break this year, we decided to go to St. Louis and I’m so glad we did! We live in the Madison, WI area, making a road trip extremely manageable (only 5 hours!). We wanted a Midwest destination with plenty of activities to do with kids and where the temperature would be slightly warmer. St. Louis was the perfect spot. I would highly recommend St. Louis to anyone with kids.

I find myself turning to fantasy stories more and more these days as historical fiction and dystopian novels are becoming a little too close to reality for my taste. When reading I need to completely escape our current world politics to be able to enjoy myself. I hope you find some books you are excited to read in my book reviews below. Just beware, I did read some stories with heavier topics this month and you may want to check out the trigger warnings first.

My family loves a fruit pizza for any occasion. For Valentine’s Day, we’ve been making a large heart-shaped fruit pizza for years but this year I wanted to make individual mini heart fruit pizza cookies for ease of serving as an after-school snack the week of Valentine’s Day.
