Lion King Birthday Party

Our daughter’s birthday happened right when COVID-19 started affecting our lives. For several days, my husband and I wavered over whether to throw the party or not. When we understood that a stay-at-home order was going to be placed soon it was an easy decision to cancel. We were still able to give our daughter a special day by having her Lion King birthday party just without any of the guests. I think she had a great time!

St. Louis Family Trip

The Gateway Arch and text "St Louis Spring Break with Kids"

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 think there are basically two types of people when it comes to photos. Those who display pictures in their homes and make photobooks and those who don’t do anything with the pictures they take. No matter what group you fall into you can still participate in this week’s declutter challenge category of photos and home videos. I’ll explain the easy decluttering steps below.

Paw Patrol Birthday Party

My two youngest children are OBSESSED with Paw Patrol. Every day they spend significant time playing with their Paw Patrol toys together. Anytime we go to the library they insist on checking out Paw Patrol books even if we have read one of the stories a million times already. With birthdays close together it was a no-brainer to have a combined Paw Patrol birthday party.
