Local events and things to do for families and kids around Louisville, Kentucky
My daughter and I recently braved the torrential downpour to head to Derby Dinner Playhouse and enjoyed a hosted visit to see Miss Nelson Has a Field Day. What I love about the children’s shows is they are right at an hour. They are short, sweet, and keep your little ones entertained for the duration. Not only do they have a […]

As you walked up […]

This nearly 90 year old bakery, Plehn’s Bakery, is at 3940 Shelbyville Rd Louisville, KY 40207 in St. Matthews and it is fantastic. I cannot express how sugar-happy I was when I walked into this bakery. I grew up in a town with the most perfect bakery that distributed rolls and baked goods all over the NY area and I […]

This month’s family book review is two-fold. The first book I have to share with you is The Busy Family Cookbook by TasteofHome…I thought since school just started and we’re all trying to get back in that groove of keeping everything on schedule, a cookbook would be a great tool to share to help you drum up some new and […]

Back in July, my family and I were given the privilege of representing Louisville Family Fun on a hosted travel assignment to Pigeon Forge, TN for a mini-getaway. We stayed 3 nights and 4 days in this tourist’s town and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. And boy were those a busy 4 days worth of minutes. We arrived on […]

Recently, we were lucky to be hosted by a paint your own canvas place called Pinot’s Palette. It’s in a strip mall in St Matthews – a very convenient location. When we got there, our names were written in chalk on the table in front of a blank canvas, along with 2 brushes, and the necessary paint on a paper […]
