This weekend is the annual St. Michael Daze & Knights Festival—a two-day event featuring, as the tagline says, “something for everyone!”
At the festival you’ll find fun family events, food, live music, a craft and farmer’s market, parade, car show, and lots more. Here are some things to look forward to if you plan on attending with your kids.

As your kids are getting ready to head back to school, now is a great time to consider signing them up for music lessons. Not only is there a great window here where you can capitalize on your kids’ back-to-school spirit, it also makes sense to build in music lessons to your school-year routine.
Rogers School of Music wanted to give us a taste of what it’s like to take lessons at their music studio, so I reached out to a friend of mine here in St. Michael whose 7-year-old daughter was interested in learning piano. Ana has now been taking lessons at Rogers School of Music for two months and has already learned a lot—and had a lot of fun doing it!
Earlier this week one of my mom friends posted on Facebook asking if anyone wanted to meet up at Prairie Park in Otsego. My answer to this is pretty much always—”Absolutely!”
We love going to Prairie Park anytime the weather is nice but especially in the summertime! When it’s hot out, the park offers an awesome two-in-one: a terrific playground and a great splash pad.
This Saturday is the 13th annual Hanover Harvest Festival, taking place in and around Settler’s Park and Hanover City Hall.

We’ve been spending a lot of time at the community center this month while my daughter takes swim lessons. In case you haven’t been there yet (or lately), I wanted to give you a peek inside.
The Monticello Community Center is a great place to take kids year ’round, but especially when the weather is cold. At MCC you’ll find a fantastic pool, waterslide, hot tubs, indoor play area, climbing wall, fitness center (16+), and a walking/jogging track.
