But if you’re a fan of toasted rav, provel cheese and a certain bird loving baseball team…you know the stl is for St. Louis, my home town.
Ok, ok, you’re no dummy. I was just testing you!
Let Me Give You the Tour
On this site you’ll find cool stuff to do with kids in St. Louis and a bunch of crafts suitable for older kids.

My biggest post ever was how to make his Minecraft creeper costume.
Here’s a few of our favorite Minecraft crafts:
My older kiddo is a teenager, so I let him have his space. You know how teens are. But every now and then he pops in to help.
He gets his height from his dad.
