At Purina Farms’ International Cheese, Wine & Canine Festival, Your Next Night on the Town Goes Global

With school back in session, all those lazy days and outdoor adventures have come to a full stop—at least until the weekend hits! Once that three o’clock bell rings, get ready to burn off some steam with your family at one (or all!) of these action-packed events in September.

Kid-free evenings are few and far between, so you have to make the most of them. Instead of spending yet another girls’ night or date night at your local happy hour spot, why not shake it up with a trip around the world that still gets you home in time to tuck in your little ones?

With its shops and restaurants, The Streets of St. Charles has become the go-to for grown-ups in the region. But now kids have a place here to call their own at Play Street Museum.

The week before school started I came across a meme that said, “You only get eighteen summers with your kids – make them count!” My first thought after reading it was, “Eighteen? The house will never make it.”

You survived potty training and the terrible twos; you've reclaimed your bed, and your child is now somewhat self-sufficient. Life ought to be smooth sailing from here on, right? Perhaps.
