Thanks to a World Series victory, the bright red 
Cardinalis cardinalis are hands-down St. Louis’ favorite bird. But Eastern Missouri is home to many other fine-feathered friends.
How’s that resolution coming? 
You know, the one where you pledged to drop a few pounds? Or exercise more? Or eat healthier? All of these are worthy achievements — if the end goal is better health.
If, on the other hand, the end goal is looking better, you are right there among the three-quarters of American women who are dissatisfied with their appearance. Most days, I’m right there with you.
Nothing makes me happier than sipping on a fountain soda 
while chowing down on greasy fries covered with processed cheese. Unhealthy? Probably. Delicious? Absolutely! That’s why I made my reservations for White Castle’s annual Valentine’s Day dinner.
When you find a book you love, you want to 
share it with the world, to introduce others to the characters and stories that touch your heart and your imagination.
My two-year-old recently started her first tumbling class. 
Since she tends to be on the shy side, her first class was a little, shall we say, “scream-y.” By the second, she was rolling and jumping with the rest of the kids.
“That’s great,” one acquaintance said to me. “We’ll fix that little introvert yet!”
Over the next few weeks, don’t be alarmed if you spy pink
poodles (or middle-aged men) roaming the streets of Soulard in frilly tutus. The apocalypse is not here. But Mardi Gras is! Batten down the hatches and get ready for some family-friendly fun.
With these cold temps, curling up in a little ball and watching Law & Order reruns until spring is a very appealing idea. But it’s time to hang up the Snuggie and have some frosty fun at the Zoo!
For four special Sundays, your family can celebrate everyone’s favorite arctic animal with penguin-related games and activities, animal biofacts, crafts and more during the Delta Dental Winter Zoo.
As last week showed us, we may get winter after all! 
After so many weeks of mild temperatures, my kids didn’t have much interest in braving the biting wind on Thursday afternoon to go out and play in the snow.
If you've seen any Cirque du Soleil performance, you know
how awe-inspiring talented, athletic circus artists can be. Now, your kids can see the same type of amazing feats in a show designed just for them!
This weekend, the COCA Family Theatre Series will present Galumpha: Experiments in Human Architecture. In the show, three performers seem to defy gravity with their unique brand of athleticism and lyrical movement.
Like many high schoolers planning for college, Otis Howell was
overwhelmed not only by the application process and financial aid questions, but also by the sheer number of schools available. With so many factors to swim through, Howell was steering toward just a handful of colleges – whether they were the right fit or would put him on the right path for his future, he had no idea.
After all the hoopla of the holidays, January always 
seems to dull in comparison. But thanks to mother nature, the new year is about to get a little sweeter at Rockwoods Reservation. Maple sugaring is here and it’s time to tap the trees!
Drug use is one of the biggest parenting fears. It makes us 
wonder where we went wrong and perhaps most terrifying, it makes us worry that our kids will ruin or lose their lives as a result of drug abuse.
The Rockwood School District's Drug-Free Coalition is offering a five-session parenting course to help parents of kids ages 9-14 prepare themselves to guide their children to a drug-free path.
Guests attending exhibits at the Edwardsville Art Center (EAC) are treated to incredible works from local professional artists and from artists around the world. Yet, interwoven in the gallery are pieces just as moving – complementary art created by local
students who are inspired and impacted by these indelible images.
For me, the Civil War conjures images of famous generals,
bloody battles and Abraham Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address. But many courageous people played an important part in this epic struggle.
I have a confession to make: I lead a double life. In my job
as a teacher, I was known for being a child-whisperer with a no-nonsense approach. My principal shifted all the stinkers to my room because of this and my teaching career was richer and more vibrant as a result. In the classroom, I have discipline to spare.
As a mommy, I’m an anemic version of a noodle.
