Denise is a mom on a mission to share all the fun things you can do with kids in St. Louis...and beyond! 
Last week I showed you Mitch’s Minecraft “diamond” helmet, so here’s the chest plate to go with it! We got it finished just in time to wear to Grant’s Farm Halloween Nights this weekend and it was a great success. Plenty of kids skipped up to Mitch and said they loved his costume! The armor […]

A Shocking End to Cars 3…and some games to keep the fun rolling
Mitch and I caught Cars 3 at the Galaxy 14 Mega Screen — in 3D — and it was fabulous! The end was a little surprising–I won’t spoil it for you here–but it was so much better than the 2nd installment. Cars 3 really got back to it’s racing roots! I know the movie has […]
