It’s Monday, Are You Ready for a Challenge?

May 14, 2012 by Leave a Comment

With the weather heating up here in the Phoenix area, most of us are hightailing indoors, but this week we are challenging your to abandon your a/c and get outside with your family.  Don’t worry, we’re not asking you to play soccer at 2:00 in the afternoon on black asphalt.  This week’s Ties & Tutus challenge is to take a family walk every night after dinner.  I know my family and I love to pull out the wagon and dog leash, get some fresh air and meet the neighbors at sunset.  The heat subsides and it’s a great time to spend some quality time with the family, so get out there!

Spring Training

March 5, 2012 by Leave a Comment

It is officially my favorite month of the year to be a Phoenician — March.  Thousands of people travel from all over the country and world to visit Phoenix this time of year, but we are spoiled rotten and get to enjoy the beauties of the city each and every day.  One of the most popular things going on in the Valley in March is SPRING TRAINING.  I like baseball and all, but I’m by no means a die-hard fan.  That being said, I {love} me some Spring Training.  What’s better than sunshine, baseball, beer, family and friends?  There are games all over the city so break out the sunscreen and enjoy a game…or two!  Click here for more information.

Free Park and an Affordable Choo-Choo!

January 26, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Us Phoenicians are lucky the next week – beautiful days in the 70′s are abound!  If you are looking for a great place to go enjoy the beautiful weather at absolutely no cost to you try the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, located at Indian Bend and Scottsdale Road.  Admission into the park is absolutely free!  Upon entering you can enjoy a large playground equipped with swings, slides and jungle gyms as well as adobe huts for play and pretend!  You can also view an out-of-comission train and check out a room full of model railroads.

In addition, they do offer a Carousel as well as rides on a Choo-Choo Train that circles the park.  These do cost however, but a very reasonable price of $2.00 for the Carousel and $3.00 for the Train.  In addition there is a western shopping store and a treat store to get an ice cream cone if you are soaking in the sun.  Click here to get more information on this great day-activity for you and your family!
