Have you heard of the new app for the Phoenix area?  I recently had the chance to give it a try and I really enjoyed the ease of ordering from my computer.  Our market is still fairly new, so the choices were limited in my area, but one of our favs was on there. GrubHub.com helps […]

Arizona Museum for Youth

Last week I went on a preschool field trip to the Arizona Museum of Youth in downtown Mesa. The museum is a fun hands-on museum geared toward children. Right when you enter the museum there is a playroom for children four and under. This was definitely our favorite part of the museum. There are lots […]

Small Business Saturday is a movement created by American Express that takes place on Saturday November 26 – sandwiched between Black Friday and […]

Gilbert Riparian Preserve

The Gilbert Riparian Preserve is a 110 acre island of wonder and intrigue right in the middle of suburbia.

Meet Santa at Bass Pro

Ever since my daughter was little, we’ve taken her to see Santa and more recently we’ve started going to Bass Pro for Santa’s Wonderland.  The first time we went because it was close to home and free.  Can’t beat that!!!  However, after that first visit, we decided we would never go any where else.  They […]
