It's the middle of August! WOW! I've loved this summer. I hope you have too!
In this email there is a giveaway you won't want to miss. Scroll down for the Gabby's Dollhouse Giveaway. Also in this email, you will find a list of free birthday treats, family music classes, and State Fair Information.
It may be the end of the summer, but there is lots going on that you may want to know about.
Here are five things to enjoy in this beautiful August weather.
- This podcast: We found this podcast before our road trip to Madeline Island last week. Clean and interactive fun for the whole family. Most of our kids even put down their devices to listen!
- This instagram post: Do you have a new kindergartener this year? Local Author Megan Maynor's newest book may be the perfect read for your kiddos still at home.
- This YouTube: This is one of the shortest Dude Perfect Videos that I've ever seen, but it combines my love for cake/baking shows and Dude Perfect.
- This quote: This is a goal for me to instill in my kiddos.
- Something that I'm thinking about: I love books and I was wondering if any of you would be interested in learning about what I've read or what I'm excited to read once a month.

Things my teenaged daughter is currently into: treats, trying coffee drinks, using her phone to obtain free perks, and figuring out the boundaries of her independence. Combine these traits and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a blog post about the abundance of free birthday deals you can pick up from national chains in your area. She was so excited about the possibility of scoring free birthday perks that I challenged her to come up with a list of the top 10
she wanted to hit for her special day (or week…or month as you’ll see in the following). These are the best deals she insisted we pursue:
Family music classes are classes babies and preschool age kids take with their parents. These fun programs have been scientifically proven to improve your child’s development. In the Twin Cities, we are blessed to have so many different options of music classes. Even the music teachers who teach these classes love to attend them!
Quick Guide to Summer Resources
Mid-August is the time to start preparing for our favorite annual end-of-summer bash – and we are SO THRILLED it will be returning this year!. Use our Minnesota State Fair Guide to help plan your best visit ever in 2021.
Have you purchased your discount gate tickets? Mapped out the most efficient route to find the two dozen or so brand new Fair foods? Polled the family and made a checklist of the must-sees: the barns, the freebies, the climb-on tractors, the awesome shows at the Family Fair stage? Are you ready for the relentless heat and the shoulder-to-shoulder streets and the children begging you to buy souvenirs at every corner?
Just in case you’re not a rabid fan of the Minnesota State Fair (like certain members of the FFTC Team…) and haven’t been planning this great fete since Memorial Day, we’ve put together some tips and ideas garnered from years of towing our young families along to the Fair. Hope we can be of some help and inspiration!
