They usually start out with a circle time where they sing a song, act silly, stretch and exercise, and play some games together. They then venture into individual activities centered around whatever the gym activity or […]

Since the inception of this website, I have always said that one of Louisville’s greatest attractions is not here. It is the fact that Louisville is so close to so many amazing places making living here so wonderful. No, we don’t advocate leaving every single weekend but let’s be honest – people love getting away and you can’t always be […]
