Omaha Children's Museum: Reciprocity

We've been wanting to highlight one of our favorite perks of being Omaha Children's Museum Members---reciprocity! Why? Because we get into pages and pages of different museums throughout the country (and some outside of the country) for FREE. Personally we love the Oklahoma Science Museum and Denver Museum of Nature and Science.  We even looked at using it in Toronto and when we were in Kansas City recently, but didn't have a chance because of our busy schedule.

Here are a few photos from our recent trips to reciprocal museums! From pirate themed water tables, to dinosaurs....we loved all of it!



If you don't already think the Children's Museum membership is a great idea, just by using it at our own Omaha museum, it is definitely worth it for all the places you can use it outside of Omaha!

How does it work? Before you go on your vacation, check the list of reciprocal museums here and go to the FAQ on reciprocity for the updated list of reciprocal museums. Then all you need to do at the reciprocal museum is show them your ID, your Omaha Children's Museum pass, and mention you belong to a museum with reciprocity. Super easy!

We are hoping to take the kiddos to see my brother run the NYC marathon in November! We might be slightly crazy for attempting to take 2 kids two and under to NYC �� It will be an adventure for sure!

Honestly, Kitty, no travel destinations in the near future, but our girls sure love the Omaha and Lincoln Children’s museums and we can’t wait to be able to take new baby Luke to discover and learn, too!

I totally agree. Our family of three saved about 100 bucks at the Chicago Planetarium. We had an amazing time and will be using our membership to explore through a kids perspective. what a great perk. Thanks!

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…
