On Saturday, June 2, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Kids Discovery Museum (KiDiMu), the children’s museum on Bainbridge Island, will host a "Birthday Bash" to mark the second anniversary in its Island Gateway home, just steps away from the Seattle ferry. The celebration will feature a free-admission day at the museum, free family attractions, entertainment and giveaways.
Local performers from Kitsap and King county, as well as community partners and volunteers will help KiDiMu make the day special for visiting families. To get the party started, at 10 a.m., visitors will enjoy African beats by the youth Motsimoyo Marimba band. The music will continue with sing-along fun presented by a local folk musician David Webb and his guitar.
At noon, Roberto the Magnificent will add some magic to the celebration with his performance, to be followed by the Seattle-based rock-and-roll band The-Not-Its!, who will invite the festive crowd to join in the parking lot dance at 1 p.m. Throughout the day, officers from the Island will make surprise appearances to offer children an up-close look at their police cars and fire trucks.
In addition, local vendors and community partners will offer giveaways, including special treats from Popcorn Chef and Bon Bon Confections (while supplies last). The 122 restaurant will help “power” visiting KiDiMu Explorers by offering snacks for sale, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit KiDiMu. Tasha Vansse Photography will provide a photo booth to help the guests capture their special memory free of charge (additional photos will also be available for sale).
From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., families can enjoy complimentary face painting, sidewalk chalk, tattoos and balloons. As a special “party favor,” the museum will invite attendees to enter a drawing for their own birthday celebration at KiDiMu. For more information on the Birthday Bash, visit KiDiMu’s website at www.kidimu.org or call 206-855-4650.

As much as I'm excited about spending Memorial Day weekend outside with my family, I anticipate we'll need a little break from the pool and the 90 degree heat here in Atlanta. So I'm happy to have this awesome Pixar movie promotion on my radar just in case we need a little rest and relaxation. 
I'm hoping that they sell out, and that next year there are twice as many available. Because let's not forget, there's a second group who benefits from these tees: kids who deserve to grow up feeling blessed to have loving parents and caregivers, whoever they might be.
It's a well known fact that she's the world's most perfect mother, so it's definitely not a shock that reports are popping up saying

Why my kids have an obsession with sleepwear and pajamas I'm not entirely sure, but yep, obsessed pretty much sums it up. Over the years, I've learned to invest a little more in their pjs because I find the cheap stuff stretches and loses elasticity and pills and generally doesn't hold up for long at all. Especially considering how often my kids want to wear them.
My son's drawers are full of two kinds of shirts: casual tees and dressier polos, and absolutely nothing in between. That's why I'm digging new-to-us apparel that's perfect for doing double wardrobe duty. 
How did we ever make design, food, and photography decisions without Pinterest? Why, back in my day all we had was a slightly terrifying lady named Martha Stewart, and in order to get her advice, we had to buy her magazines or watch her on TV. Uphill, both ways, in the snow!
