We’re gearing up for our favorite community Christmas tradition, the STMA Holiday Lights Tour!
2024 marks the 8th year for the tour, which features some of the best and brightest displays in St. Michael and Albertville, as nominated by members of the community. In addition to the local favorites, we try to include new features on our tour each year, which is why we need YOUR help!
Nominate YOUR (or your neighbor’s) holiday lights display for inclusion on this year’s tour by visiting https://forms.gle/cNuksJrjMhAwHeCp9.
The map for the 2024 STMA Holiday Lights Tour will be made available the first week of December.
The votes are in! Check out our 2024 Mom’s Choice Awards Winners Guide to see which businesses and organizations YOU and your fellow St. Michael-Albertville moms chose as the best in town.
Between the sunshine and the fall colors, this month is ALL about leaf-gazing! In early- to mid-October, the STMA area typically experiences its peak for fall color, making it a great time to go outdoors and enjoy an autumn nature walk with your kids.
By the way, do you know WHY the leaves change colors? Check out this article from the MN DNR, and learn something cool to teach your kids! http://dnr.state.mn.us/fall_colors/typical_peak.html
The Fall 2024 Community Education brochure is hitting mailboxes this week, with lots of great classes and activities for your family to enjoy this fall.

Whether this is your first year sending kids off to school or you’ve been doing it for many years, there are a LOT of details to keep in mind when it comes to getting them ready!
There’s nothing I love more than a completed checklist, so I made this handy printable list to keep my family’s back-to-school details straight! I’d love to share it with you in the hope that it will help YOU this season as well.
