We Grow As One: Dundee

As promised, our next community neighborhood highlight is Dundee. What do we love most about Dundee? Honestly, the look. The heart of Dundee is so precious, especially in the winter time. It looks like a picturesque little snow-covered town. In the summer, it is perfect for strolling around enjoying the sunshine. Dundee is full of local Omaha businesses, visit for ice cream, cupcakes, dinner, drinks, or shopping! 


DUNDEE

eCreamery- If you didn't know already...we love ice cream. eCreamery is one of the best. Why do we love it so much? One word..."Gelato"! Also, just like the rest of Dundee...this place has taken an old building and modernized it while keeping its vintage charm. Want to try it out? Come in on $2 Tuesdays where single scoops are just $2!

Scout Dry Goods & Trade- This one is especially important because Scout makes a point to encourage their customers to shop local! The store offers ever-changing inventory.  My favorite part about Scout? The name. The store is named after Scout in "To Kill A Mockingbird".

Dundee Flea- Now I have to say, this was a new one for me as the store itself is pretty new. I LOVE antique shopping. We love cool old statement pieces (such as our collection of vintage cameras sprinkled all over our home) and this antique store does not disappoint, it has both retro and repurposed items. Dundee has such a cool history, beautiful old homes, and it is the perfect setting for this antique store! 

Cupcake! Omaha- Ready for some more dessert? I have quite the sweet tooth and can highly recommend Cupcake Omaha, especially the carrot cake cupcakes! Delicious! 

Amsterdam Falafel & Kabob- Many of the Dundee eats are sit-down places, but this one is the perfect grab-and-go eatery! Whether you love falafels or have never had one, this is a go-to place for delicious food. Make sure to get the fries too...yummy!

If you need some coffee, we love supporting Dundee Double Shot. Our favorite part about visiting is the little book section for customers to read. Lorelai especially loves the zoo book! They have the cutest patio perfect for enjoying the outside and their walls have some really neat prints of other historic places around the midtown area.

 Why are we highlighting local shops within the community? Our neighbors, friends and family are all influenced...both directly and indirectly by small business success, and when we come together, we grow as one! First National Bank of Omaha is sponsoring this post, but all thoughts are mine.

Traveling with Kids: Setting them up for successful flight

Each flight we take with our kids, we are often overwhelmed by fellow passengers commenting on how great our children travel. I won't even pretend that it has anything to do with my parenting or my children's innate ability to be good travelers. By no means does that come without a lot of behind the scenes work, thought and preparation. Our children are not naturally good travelers...rather we do everything possible to set them up for a successful (i.e. enjoyable, quiet, and somewhat relaxing) flight.

Do you want a toddler that doesn't make a peep when you travel? How about a baby who doesn't fuss too much? Here are a few of our secrets to setting your children up for a successful flight
It starts before you even book your trip. 
Schedule your flight at a time that works well with your child's sleep schedule. That means no getting in at midnight, no leaving at 5 a.m...and for us we often try to avoid nap time as much as possible (once are kids are down to 1 nap a day…

Things You Learn About The Newborn Phase The Second Time Around

Look, we've all been there. As a first time mom you are totally crazy. You need every little thing imaginable to be able to raise your baby. Your baby has more places to be set down than you have chairs for everyone  else in your house...crib, saucer, bumbo, highchair, rock-n-play, play mat, swing...you get my point.
Now second time around, you might just do things a little differently! Here are a few things I learned my second time around:


My biggest secret? Your baby wakes up less at night the lower you turn down the monitor volume.
Think on that a minute...does that make me a bad mom? No! It means that I'm not waking up at every little thing! And allows Pepper learn to put herself back to sleep on her own after playing/talking a bit.



Don't even bother buying a baby book or it will be filled with "Date baby laughed 3 months?"  Yep..the question mark is actually written in the baby book, because I'm not 100% sure when she laughed. 

You will forget everything tha…

Omaha Performing Arts: WeBop

If you're anything like me, you want to find all kinds of activities for your kids to get involved in as a way to educate, entertain and cultivate their physical and mental growth. For little ones, sometimes that is difficult to find. We've explored swim classes, sports, gymnastics...all great things, but we really wanted to look at something else for Lorelai to experience.



Music is such an important part of a child's life. Personally I believe that my involvement in music at a young age made me more successful and well-rounded! Due to involvement in choir, musicals and band I was able to gain confidence at a young age for public speaking, since I was familiar with standing in front of an audience. I also feel that reading music is such a great skill for children to learn as they grow older, along with familiarity with instruments, and to appreciate the arts. Not only that, music can help a child learn and retain information (example...do you still sing your ABC's in y…
