We often go so overboard collecting every possible item we think we might need or want for postpartum. Especially as a first time mom, I had no idea what I'd actually want/need.
Ill be honest, when it came down to it, I didn't use all that much of what I bought/received in that initial week.
These are things I actually did use. Some of them, I didn't expect to or I didn't expect to in the way I did!

After living in the Twin Cities for over a decade—five of those as a parent and many before as a teacher—I’ve explored a lot of kid-friendly spots. From cozy coffee shops with play areas to massive playgrounds and hands-on museums, this area is packed with places where kids can burn off energy while parents actually enjoy themselves too. Some spots are perfect for a low-key morning with little ones, while others make for full-blown adventures that even older kids will love. I’ve been on both sides—coordinating field trips as a teacher and now chasing my own kids around—and I’m still finding new gems all the time!
What I love most is how many different kinds of outings are possible here. There are spots where kids can climb, run, and explore freely, places designed to spark creativity and curiosity, and even restaurants and breweries that actually welcome families instead of just tolerating them. Whether you’re looking for an easy weekday outing, an indoor option for winter, or a way to make errands more fun, this list is packed with places that make parenting a little easier—and a lot more fun!
