DaVinci - The Genius

This traveling exhibition has been extended, but its only here for a couple more weeks! It's quite extensive and no re-entry, so this is probably suited best for older children.

Make it a Great Weekend, Little Socialites!!

Groupon Deal : $10 for a Pump It Up Pass

Pump It Up {in Urbandale} dubs itself as an inflatable party zone and it is ... bouncy houses, slides and more.

$2.50 for any activity is a STEAL! Which is why I was SO excited to share today's deal - $10 for Four Pop-In Playtimes!!

Groupon : 4 Pop-In Playtimes @ Pump It Up

If you haven't signed up for Groupon, do it! We've scored great deals on everything from 1/2 off zoo memberships to 1/2 off at Barnes & Noble!!

This is a great one for the late-winter blahs or those way-too-hot August days!! Please note that the deal doesn't apply to the week of most spring breaks around here, March 14-18.

I've also included the Pump It Up Calendar!

Keeping Little Fingers Busy

I can't be the only one who's a little annoyed with our pre-spring weather.

In our house, we're under it {the weather} and when we were feeling well, it's been less than enjoyable outside!

Here's how we kept this little socialite busy one morning!

A bag of marshmallows + a box of toothpicks.

We were making towers and bridges, necklaces and shapes!

... and it kinda made us forget about the weather for a little while!

Hello Little Socialites!!
