Your Next Philadelphia Day Trip: The Crayola Experience

The Crayola Experience is such an amazing Philadelphia day trip for your toddler! If you're in the area, you have to check it out!

When we were invited by friends to join them at The Crayola Experience, I was so excited for a new Philadelphia day trip to enjoy with our little guy.  I had memories of The Crayola Experience (though at that time we called it The Crayola Factory), but none of my memories compared to what it is now.  What an amazing trip!  I’m not exaggerating a bit when I tell you this was just as amazing for a 2 ½ year old as Philadelphia’s Please Touch Museum – it was that cool!

The Crayola Experience is located in Easton, so it’s a bit of a drive for some of the Philly suburbs (it took us 1 ½ hrs.), but there’s so much to do there that it’s well worth the drive. We were also pleasantly surprised by how nice Easton was, so there’s lots of restaurants and shops to keep you busy if you want to hang around after The Crayola Experience.  We were there on a Saturday and a huge farmer’s market was set up right in the center of town, so check to see if that will be there!  It was a lot of fun.

The Next Book You Have to Read: Secrets of the Millionaire Mind

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind is one of the greatest inspirational books I've ever read. It's a total game-changer!

In my attempt to read more books this year, I’ve come across some real winners and some ho-hum forgettables.  Even a mediocre book can sometimes be a welcome break from reality, but what I really love is a book that is so exciting that I actually get an adrenaline rush when I’m reading it.  And I’m not talking about the rush that comes with finding out who the killer is or a steamy romance scene.  I’m talking about the rush from that AH-HA moment that makes you realize one small tweak to your life could help you achieve your next goal…or the moment you realize that you actually can quit your job and do what you love…or even just deciding what your next pursuit will be. THOSE moments are the best.

Subscription Clubs for Men (that are actually worth the money)

Nothing beats an amazing subscription club, especially ones that are geared towards men! Check out this list for some great ideas.

I’m a total subscription club addict for a ton of reasons.  Primarily, the experts picking stuff out always seems to be a better hit than anything I could come up with!  But also, who doesn’t love a gift that keeps on giving?  

Men can be especially hard to shop for, so in my opinion subscription clubs for men are BRILLIANT.  And with the holidays coming up, I figured it would be the perfect time to share some of the best that I’ve come across!  

The key is to find ones that are actually worth the money…because the last thing you want is to spend your money on a monthly disappointment. So give these a shot and become the best gift-giver this season:
