St. Louis is an amazing spot to vacation. There is so much to do, and it's easy to get around. My two best friends and I took a trip from KC to STL with our kids. We are three teachers in our early 30s and our 5 kids range from 11 months old to 7 years old. The following lists contain exactly what we did and tips and tricks we discovered along the way!

I'm really big on getting gifts that grow with my kids and that aren't just clutter. I think I crushed it on this one with staying on “theme” with Easter and getting useful items that were adorable, useful, and fun!

I supplement my genetics unit with some fun activities that have a lasting impact on students and their learning. If you use these ideas, it will take your genetics unit from basic to over the top and students will create memories that will last a lifetime!

Making Leprechaun Traps has become a beloved tradition for many families. Incorporate reading and engineering along with your family traditions this year. Step up your game to better Leprechaun traps and more intentional family time together!

Kansas City Mom's guide to the BEST that KC has to offer. There is so many businesses catered towards making our jobs as moms easier and providing memorable experiences with our kids. I personally choose to support these small businesses and give them my time, attention, and money. You won't be disappointed with any of these locally owned suggestions!
