I was recently invited to shop at Style Encore in Eagan, a new women’s resale shop where you can buy and sell clothing and accessories. It just opened and I got to preview it before their grand opening celebration.
This past week I came back to do some shopping and share my experience!
I took Thor, my 3-year-old, and asked him to help pick out some “pretty clothes for mommy.” As I browsed, without hesitation he searched through the many quality, brand-name clothes and made many suggestions to me.
If you have a little one who loves the Disney movie Planes like my 3-year-old does, you’ll want to check out this freebie from Disney!

I was recently invited by Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park to come and check it out with my kids. We had never been to Sky Zone before – I guess I never really thought about it as I kind of figured it was more for older kids and teens. Boy was I wrong!
So I checked it out and learned that Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park is “the original trampoline park,” and the world’s first all-trampoline, walled playing court in the Minneapolis metro area. They have two independent franchises in the Twin Cities: Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Then I took my kids to both the Minneapolis (Plymouth) and St. Paul (Oakdale) Sky Zone locations to try them out, and oh my gosh, I’m SO glad we went! We had SO much fun, and now I want to share what a great place it is for all ages including little kids!
