40+ Places To Take Toddlers and Preschoolers in Southeast Michigan

Shared by 2 Comments

The school year has begun and that means one thing to parents of little ones: LESS CROWDS!

Seriously, I used to not do things in summer just to avoid all the big kids. Now being stuck to the school calendar, I miss the simple days of just having younger kids and getting to do fun things while the bigger kids were at school.

Lucky for us, there is no shortage of fun spots to take little ones.

Here’s a list of my family’s favorites. Make sure to chime in and let me know your favorites too!

40+ Places To Take Toddlers and Preschoolers in Southeast Michigan

40+ Places To Take Toddlers and Preschoolers in Southeast Michigan

Museums To Visit

Ann Arbor Hands On Museum {Ann Arbor} This Ann Arbor hot spot always has amazing special events, in addition to having one of the coolest preschool rooms out there. There is also a guarded door so there shouldn’t be any escapees! {Babies under 23 months are FREE}

Detroit Kid City {Clinton Township, Dearborn and Southfield} A mini city that also serves coffee? Yes please! When my kids were young, they enjoyed delivering mail and making pizzas the most!

The Henry Ford Museum {Dearborn} Hear me out…Not only does this museum have some great programming for the younger set, but there is also SO MUCH to look at. Sometimes that’s enough. They will love the cars, trains and tractors! Check out these ideas for upcoming kid fun, including the free PNC Tinkering for Tots series.

Impression 5 {Lansing} The water play and toddler room here is so fun! Best of all, it’s a contained space, which makes taking more than one child there while solo parenting a breeze. Bonus points for having a nursing room too!

How cute is the pint-sized sink inside Impression 5 too?!

Flint Children’s Museum {Flint} This gem is full of hands on experiences perfect for the pint size crew. There is a small baby area, and toddlers will love playing pretend at the pizzeria, grocery store, fire station and more.

Michigan Science Center {Detroit} There is tons to explore here, and even the “older kid” exhibits will captivate little ones. In the basement, there is a cute kid’s town play area specifically made for little ones.

DNR Outdoor Adventure Center {Detroit} Little ones can learn about Michigan’s great outdoors inside this incredible place! Experience exciting hands-on activities, exhibits and simulators and more. Just bring an extra pair of hands if you have a child that wanders in case it’s busy — there’s lots to explore!

Sloan Museum {Flint} This cute spot is currently taking up space at the Courtland Center Mall while the museum is being renovated, however, don’t let that deter you — with fun rotating exhibits and one of the cutest play areas for little ones, it’s a place not to miss!

The pint-sized area for those visiting Sloan Museum inside the Courtland Center Mall is too cute!

Spots To Burn Energy

Sometimes kids just need to climb, spin and jump and burn some energy. These spots are perfect for that! Many of these have discounted days for little ones — always check their calendar before you go!

A few favorites:

40+ Places To Take Toddlers and Preschoolers in Southeast Michigan
Play basketball in a mini court, climb floor samples and bounce on trampolines at Kids Gotta Play.

Community Pools. Check for times designated specifically for toddlers and preschoolers. Such a great way to introduce children to water! This is an activity I tried to do with a friend once I had more than one kid. Having an extra set of hands is definitely helpful! Goldfish Swim Schools are wonderful too, and locations have open swim times so you can check out the facilities {the warm water is a huge plus in this mama’s book!}.

Gymnastics Centers. There are too many to list, but check your local area for open gym times, or time slots just for toddlers and preschoolers! {We absolultey love Bounce in Hartland if you are local to me!}

McDonald’s. I’m just being honest here 😉 The golden arches have saved me more times than I care to admit! Sometimes a PlayPlace + lunch is exactly the inexpensive energy burn a child needs.

FREE Indoor Fun

If you have unpredictable tots, paying admission can be tough at times! Try one of these spots for some FREE fun:

Church Community Centers. The 2|42 community centers in both Ann Arbor and Brighton are absolutely FREE to visit, and there is absolutely no obligation to attend church there. Both also have a great little cafe full of snacks if you don’t have your own. Another two spots I’ve been told are fantastic are Ward Church in Northville and Ignition Church in Redford!

40+ Places To Take Toddlers and Preschoolers in Southeast Michigan

Library story time. Our libraries are such a powerhouse of FREE fun for kids — do not forget about them! From baby story times to special crafty events just for the preschool crowd, libraries have amazing programming, so take advantage!

Barnes & Noble Storytime. Most B&N locations have FREE weekly story times. This is a great opportunity to let your child socialize with other children.

Mall Play Areas. Shopping, eating and playing in ONE spot? YES! When my kids were tiny, the mall was a very way to get out of the house and do some stroller walking on yucky days. Great Lakes Crossing, Twelve Oaks, Laurel Park Place and Genesee Valley Center are a few I know have cute areas for tots to play!

University Museums. Both the MSU Museum and the University of Michigan Natural History Museum are fun FREE spots to explore. The content is a bit more for older kids, but there are dinosaur bones and lots to see. You never know what will strike a chord with little ones!

FREE Outdoor Fun

Outdoor time is crucial, no matter the season, so bundle up those little ones and head outside!

Try one of these fun FREE spots to get a little Vitamin D:

Haunted Attractions in Southeast Michigan

If your family or your spouse enjoy a good scare, you have to check out one of these haunted attractions in southeast Michigan!

I’m one of those crazies that actually enjoys being scared. I don’t know what causes that gene, but my kids seem to have it too. During the Halloween season, I love watching scary movies and taking the kids to check out the creepiest decor around town. People that love Halloween are usually my favorite people 😉

If you have older kids/teens or are looking for a fun date night, one of these spots could make for a fun night out. If you’re looking for something for younger children, check out this list of fall family fun.

To My Daughter On Her Ninth Birthday

Shared by Leave a Comment

Dearest Kinley,

There is a quote I recently read that made me think of you:

“Quiet people have the loudest minds.” – Stephen Hawking

When I read that, I immediately thought of you. You, my quiet little love bug, most certainly have one of the loudest minds out there, and I have learned some much in the short time you’ve been with me on this planet.

Nine years ago, I gave birth to a 9 pound, 1 ounce girl. My life changed the instant they laid you in my arms.

Today you are nine.

For you, being nine means being independent and responsible but knowing mom and dad are still there for cuddles when feelings get hurt.

Being nine means pre-puberty and the sass {especially about clothing!} and sometimes hard life lessons that come with it.

Being nine means deeper conversations and endless questions on topics that are reserved for adults.

Being nine means not being able to spell things out, sugar coat, or use secret sarcasm because all of that has been exposed and you know how to read us.

Being nine is being a trusted tween. You’re not quite a teen, but getting farther and farther from being labeled a ‘little’ kid.

Being nine ROCKS, and dad and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for your future because we sure know it’s going to be bright.

A bit about who you currently are…

Your passion for nature, science, math, reading, and sports hasn’t dissipated even in the slightest. This year, you have definitely realized other kids don’t necessarily like bugs and the odd things you get excited about, but you don’t care. You love spouting out ‘fun facts’ about animals and nature, and your mind amazes us with its ability to retain info. I love watching you inspire kids around you to take time to enjoy the great outdoors, too. Seeing you come alive with your passions makes you SHINE.

I often call you the quiet leader because that’s what you are. You may be quiet, but you don’t let others sway you, and you’ve always been strong with your passions. I promise to try my best as a parent to make sure that fire stays alive forever.

You read the entire Diary of a Wimpy Kid series this summer. You love books and always read before bed…sometimes a little too late into the night 😉

In fact, dad and I have been chuckling that your birthday presents this year sum up exactly who you are: A bow and arrow to honor your love of the outdoors and survival skills, and getting your ears pierced…because you’ve always had a side that keeps us guessing. We never would’ve pegged you as a kid that would want that done {girly girl stuff is still not your thing}, but we are glad you faced your fears.

This truly has been a year full of growth and bravery, and I am beyond proud of you for continuing to step outside your comfort zone. Stats show a girls’ confidence drops by 30% between the ages of 8 and 14, and I’m hopeful that if you keep along the path you’re blazing, you will soar.

This year, you made your First Communion, and even did a reading at church!

My world has forever been changed because of you, and my purpose made deeper than I could’ve imagined. So thankful to have learned and loved so much these past nine years.

Wishing you a fantastic year ahead filled with discovery, imagination, and all the books you can handle.

Love you to the moon and back, times infinity.

xox,

Mom

You still love your babies, especially your {real} baby cousin!

Date Night Idea: Axe Throwing Places in Michigan

Shared by Leave a Comment

If you’re like my husband and I, there is one thing you are NOT into, and that’s BORING date nights! When we get to escape from our kids, the last place on earth I want to go is to the movies where we don’t have the opportunity to talk. Dinner is fun and all too, but we definitely prefer to be active.

Thankfully there are some amazing axe throwing places in Michigan that offer a unique alternative to simply dinner and a movie. Grab your buffalo plaid and head out for a fun night!

If you’ve never thrown an axe before, don’t worry — you don’t need to be athletic or posses any special skills. This seemingly dangerous sport has taken the world by storm and is crazy fun to try regardless of skill. While you will have a host to show you the ropes, it’s NOT remotely kid-friendly, which is a big plus in our date night book 😉

I will admit — axe throwing is not easy, but it’s SO fun. If you’re looking for a unique night out, give it a chance! Pricing goes down the more people you have to split the lane with, so gather friends for an affordable night out.

Here are some spots around Michigan to get started:

Axe Throwing Places in Michigan

A few tips before you go:

  • Drinking is allowed in many of these facilities. I wouldn’t plan to drink much…It’s just plain unsafe. Plus, they will kick you out if you consume too much. Be smart!
  • Wear closed toed shoes and dress comfortably as you will be moving around a lot.
  • Axe throwing is much harder than it looks! Go easy on yourself, laugh, and have fun! Most places do games with teams or for couples to keep it fun and lighthearted.
  • Tip your host. These men and women are saints for teaching people how to throw an axe properly 😉 They deserve your tips for the attention they devote to you!
I’m actually super terrible…Just had one lucky shot! Still fun, even if you’re no good!

Where is your favorite place to go axe throwing? Let me know if I’ve missed any!

Tips For Visiting The Saginaw Children’s Zoo

Shared by 2 Comments

One thing we have enjoyed as a family is checking out all the amazing animal-centric places that are in our beautiful state of Michigan. One zoo we had on our summer bucket list was to visit the Saginaw Children’s Zoo, which was a little over an hour’s drive from our home in Howell.

After grabbing a Groupon for next to nothing, I had low expectations of our visit, but figured it would be a fun adventure regardless.

Wow, this gem totally blew us away!

Tips For Visiting The Saginaw Children’s Zoo

First of all, there was such a nice variety of animals from farm animals kids can pet, to kangaroos, penguins, sea otters, monkeys, birds, and more at this zoo!

The penguins were a hoot to watch. Not a bad view either with an all-glass enclosure!

We loved that you could get super close to many of the animals. This makes it an ideal zoo for little ones because they can actually see the animals. We spent close to 3 hours there, and could’ve been there longer if time permitted. It was super easy for my crew to walk, but of course strollers and wagons are permitted for littles that tire easily.

One of our favorite added bonuses was taking the train around the property. This was just an additional $1/person and was purchased at the entrance. I’d recommend taking the train first if you’ve never visited because it’s a great way to map out your visit. Plus, how cute is she?

There also is a classic carousel toward the back that was beautiful and also just $1 for a ride.

In addition to visiting all the animals, my kids loved the cute playground and the Fossil Find sand area. Honestly, these alone are worth the price of admission! They spent tons of time digging in the sand while I enjoyed the shade nearby 😉 There was lots of shade at this zoo, which was nice on the hot day we visited!

The playground even have misters for cooling off, which my kids loved. There were plenty of spots to climb and slide too, and it truly appealed to all ages.

Personally, I enjoyed the adorable sponsored gardens throughout the property. They were so cute and creative! This one was one of my favorites.

The food options available were fantastic and affordable as well. A kid’s hot dog meal was just $4, and there were plenty of other fun options such as popsicles, ice cream, soft pretzels, cotton candy and more — all for reasonable prices. You can also bring your own food in if you’d rather picnic and save the money.

The FREE Playscape at the 242 Community Center in Ann Arbor

Shared by 1 Comment

When it comes to taking the kids places, nothing is better than a lack of admission, am I right, parents? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind paying admission to see amazing things, but it can add up so ridiculously fast with three kids that it often prevents us from doing all.the.things.

A recent FREE adventure we enjoyed was to the playscape at the 242 Community Center in Ann Arbor. This place was SO fun for kids that love to run, climb, and be crazy. My kids have been begging to visit again!

If you aren’t familiar, 2|42 is a church with two locations — one in Brighton {the link takes you to a post about their amazing community center we also love}, and one in Ann Arbor.

Please don’t let the word “church” deter you if you are a non-believer. This is a place for all, and I promise you won’t get bombarded with pamphlets or people hounding you to join the congregation.

It’s simply a community center where all walks of life can gather. Isn’t that beautiful? I love that these free community centers bring people together, especially parents and grandparents that may feel isolated during the day with only little people to talk to.

Playscape at the 242 Community Center in Ann Arbor

What To Expect At The 242 Community Center in Ann Arbor

The playscape inside the Ann Arbor community center definitely has enough to keep little ones occupied for a chunk of time, especially on the cold or rainy days.

My sensory seeking kiddos especially loved doing flips into the foam pit, and all the options for climbing on the structures.

Playscape at the 242 Community Center in Ann Arbor

The slides were pretty huge, which was awesome for the older kids, but there also was a cute toddler area. I loved the hill addition — it really made it a unique play space for kids that is wonderful for motor development!

Playscape at the 242 Community Center in Ann Arbor

In the upper level, there even was a musical game, which was fun to play and required teamwork from my crew.

On the main level, there is also a large playing field, which is fun for playing catch, kicking a ball, or just running around.

If the kids get hungry, you may bring in food to eat, but there also is a cafe on the premises with options such as soups, sandwiches, chips, desserts, and coffee. I always try to get a little something as a thank you to 242 for opening their doors for FREE to families. That’s what being a good neighbor is all about!

Playscape at the 242 Community Center in Ann Arbor

This location also has rooms to rent for birthday parties and lots of special events, including movies for free on Mondays. Check their Facebook page events for upcoming fun.

Overall, I highly recommend checking out this spot out for an inexpensive day of fun with the kids.

TIP: A few nearby places we love: Goldfish Swim School – Ann Arbor {if you aren’t a member, they have family swim times that are open to the public}, County Farm Park and Gallup Park. There’s more A2 fun at this list, too!

Playscape at the 242 Community Center in Ann Arbor

Hours & Location

Always check the Facebook page for hours before visiting, and be cautious of church services as those may not be the best times to visit.

Community Center Hours:
Monday – Saturday: 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. 
Sunday: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

The 2|42 Community Center is located at 648 S. Wagner Rd., Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Have fun if you visit!
