This summer, STMA Community Ed is hosting Preschool Getaway for the little ones ages 3 through 5.
If you have kids who are going into preschool or kindergarten in the fall, this is a great opportunity for them to have fun and keep their minds engaged during the summer, while also helping them learn the routines and expectations for school.
There are sessions offered in June and July, each one with a morning or afternoon option, and the cost for each session is $125. Check out the flyer below for more info, and then register online at stma.ce.eleyo.com.
Do you ever have one of those days where you just NEED your kids to occupy themselves for a half hour during the day while you drink your coffee and catch up on some e-mails? Or one of those evenings where you want to let Dad put the kids to bed while you escape to enjoy a glass of wine and a book by the fireplace? What if I told you that you could find BOTH of these at the same place?!
Dunn Brothers Coffee in St. Michael is quickly becoming my favorite place in the area to grab a treat, especially on an evening out with a friend or even by myself. (Helloooo, “me” time!) In addition to a full menu of coffees, teas, smoothies, and specialty drinks, Dunn has a bar area serving a variety of craft beers and wine. If food is what you’re looking for, you’ll find breakfast items, pastries, sandwiches, salads, and pizzas.
BUT… I also mentioned keeping the kids busy during the day, didn’t I? Check this out…
See that? That’s a kid-sized table, and a shelf stocked with a variety of toys, games, coloring books, and more to keep kids occupied while you take a few minutes to yourself.
A few more “perks” (pun totally intended) of this Dunn Bros location:
- Plenty of cozy seating throughout, including several tables on the patio
- Reservable meeting room that’ll seat eight people comfortably
- Drive-thru for when you’re in a hurry and/or don’t want to unload the kids
Dunn Brothers is open until 9 p.m. every day except Sunday. Make sure to also check out the rewards app and the happy hour specials on both drinks and small plates!
Use this link to sign up for the rewards program, and you’ll get $2 free to use
on your next purchase! https://www.thelevelup.com/c/EM-AV3JNCP561
(Full disclosure: I’ll also receive $2. Thanks!)
