We’ve got some fun activities coming up in the next few months, but there’s one in particular that I’d LOVE some feedback on: In September I was planning on taking us all to St. Louis for a night. I figured we’d drive up, stay in a hotel, and hit the Arch and the zoo or […]

Most American families celebrate with neighbors, friends, and other family members by having picnics, swimming parties, and then we all spend the evening blowing up fireworks! In my neighborhood this year, we’re going to roast a HUGE […]

Dear Central / Southern Region Au Pairs,
