Elvis lives at Alf’s and I wish I knew exactly what kind of monkey he was but yes, Elvis is a monkey. The outside of the restaurant looks like […]

St. Patrick’s Day Craft Project
February 21, 2010 by
At my house, anything is a potential craft supply. My kids make crafts out of everything from paper towel rolls and milk jugs to plastic cups and shoe boxes. My kids are craft maniacs! Did I do that to them??? Probably, because I also love to do crafts and now that my kids are getting […]

February 20, 2010 by
I think most people forget what a great place the public library can be. We started going when my kids were little. They had story time during the days and my kids loved to hear stories read to them and it gave us somewhere to go that had other younger children (and it was free.) […]

If you haven’t been to Out of this World Pizza and Play you are truly missing out. I took my kids for Valentine’s Day figuring it would be pretty busy (a Holiday AND a Sunday). I was amazed when we walked in and there were plenty of empty tables and not many kids running around. […]

I saw this “recipe” in the Family Fun magazine while at the Doctor’s office and thought I’d give it a try. Anything to make dinner time fun, right? My kids LOVED it! And it was easy to make. I took hot dogs and cut them into 4 pieces. Then I took raw spaghetti noodles and […]

February 4, 2010 by
This is the biggest indoor fast food restaurant play place in Portland. A very inexpensive activity to do with your kids on a wet and rainy Portland day. (We have enough of those don’t we???) My kids love it. I think it’s best for kids below 12 years, and parents can follow toddlers through structure […]
