Introducing my new obsession: DIY Vanilla Extract! It’s easier than you think (just 2 ingredients!): 1. Grab some glass bottles with air tight lids. 2. Fill them with 8 oz of vodka (responsible gifting, people!). 3. Slice open 5 vanilla beans like little flavor pods and place them in the bottles along with the vodka. 4. Voila! The perfect gift for bakers, foodies, or anyone who craves a taste of homemade warmth. 5. Don’t forget to tell your friends to pop them in a cool, dark place for 2-3 months (think hibernation for deliciousness!). Bonus points: Add ribbon or yarn along with a cute tag with the “steep” date for an extra personalized touch. Here are a few more tag options!: Option 2 Option 3 https://www.themadisonmom.com/guidetomadison/2023holidaybucketlist monthly 0.5 2023-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/422ac2fe-0fa8-4e36-8532-15d0a68e5eb3/Copy+of+Summer+Bucket+List.jpg Guide to Madison - Your 2023 Holiday Bucket List & Guide - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/b728ada9-bc23-4a5c-bccf-ba414cef55da/404102180_750186033814919_459622602864622500_n.jpg Guide to Madison - Your 2023 Holiday Bucket List & Guide - December 2nd starting at 5:30 in Downtown Madison. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/ccf004bd-e110-4a20-b4db-981b2c77835f/Winterville_dec23_web.jpg Guide to Madison - Your 2023 Holiday Bucket List & Guide - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/73aeae4c-2940-4104-b754-c9b5cb8eb82d/wjffcspueua1m5wvcpba.jpg Guide to Madison - Your 2023 Holiday Bucket List & Guide - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/e7d46d5d-07c6-4f92-92b9-e4cf96f7d805/skating+in+the+park+huntsville.png Guide to Madison - Your 2023 Holiday Bucket List & Guide - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/fde1b8f3-fe5f-481b-9e1f-ef239b948ce0/Screenshot+2023-11-26+at+11.01.46+AM.png Guide to Madison - Your 2023 Holiday Bucket List & Guide - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/7bb76533-84d2-406c-99b8-496b494af63d/winter+wonderland+toyota+field.jpeg Guide to Madison - Your 2023 Holiday Bucket List & Guide - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/70f00d5d-f44b-4169-be79-144453d112e4/christkindlmarket-1_167742C8-C935-35B8-A60578FC29E42075_167aa990-c43b-b779-bc6c3d3c9c67427f.png Guide to Madison - Your 2023 Holiday Bucket List & Guide - December 8-10 https://www.themadisonmom.com/guidetomadison/rocket-city-electric-bike-rental monthly 0.5 2023-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/2580ff70-6873-4524-9926-57a7f62d6afc/rocket.city.rover.2.jpeg Guide to Madison - Rocket City Electric Bike Rental - Huntsville, Alabama Electric Bike Rental NEW ADVENTURES to be had in the Tennessee Valley with Rocket City Electric Bike Rentals and I am here.for.it. I got to take their e-bikes for spin on Tuesday and had the absolute best time riding the streets of Huntsville and getting to know Nathan and Ash. The best part? I didn’t even have to pedal. Nathan Tucker and Ash Moorer are both Huntsville natives. Whether it is snow skiing, rock climbing, playing hockey, hiking, or their willingness to try things, they are both in it for the adventure of life. What they love about E-bikes is, that they “make adventures accessible to more people”, due to their ease of use. “With Rocket City Electric Bike Rentals, we hope to provide unique experiences in Huntsville, AL to locals, their guests, and visitors that show the many beautiful parts of our city in a fun, active way; Promoting healthy lifestyle and commerce to our city and its local businesses.” I told them the only thing I would be hesitant about (renting the bikes) would be knowing where to go on them. That’s when they introduced me to the “choose your adventure” page located on their website. Here, they have partnered with a couple who own “colemanconcierge.com.” This local couple shares all the possible bike trial adventures. While there are grand plans of connecting more local greenways, thanks to @singingrivertrail , there are several noteworthy rides to be had: Big Springs Park Greenway / Twickenham The Monte Sano Climb Chapman Mountain Aldridge Creek Greenway / Tennessee River Greenway Big Cove Creek GreenwaY & more So grab some friends, pack a picnic, hop on some bikes, and set off on a day of fun in the outdoors. I can’t wait to make a day of it myself! Join them for their Grand Opening today, Saturday March 4th from 10-2! Enjoy live music, games, giveaways, food, eBike test rides, and more.

Created by former Ringling Bros. Ringmaster Kevin Venardos, the Venardos Circus wraps world-class animal-free circus acts into a Broadway Musical-style format dubbed “The American Circus with the heart of a Broadway Show.” Guests can expect to be transported back in time to the center ring of a centuries-old tradition, but one that has been reinvented for the next generation. There’s an amazing assortment of aerialists, acrobats, juggling, balancing, comedy, daredevilry, magic, musical production, and MUCH more. This amazing Circus experience will truly delight not only your children, but the dukes in the family too. Last year, we attended the show after a quick dinner at The Camp, right next door! With its classic big top tent, The Venardos circus is one of my favorite yearly events in town. Grab your tickets while they last! https://www.tickettailor.com/events/venardoscircus/...

We’ve spent a lot of extra time with our babies this summer and now it’s time to send them off on a new adventure! Our littles are stepping into new territory: new classrooms, new grade levels, new teachers, new classmates. That’s a lot for an adult to process, let alone our children. As I think about setting the tone for the school year and easing the mind of my tiny new prek’er I immediately think of books (being a librarian probably has a little something to do with it too). Not only are books and reading aloud good for bonding, developing fluency, increasing comprehension, and creating a love of literacy, they also teach us about empathy and awareness. That’s why I have decided to round up a few of my favorite first weeks of school picture book reads for you! Choose a few to read each night after the school day. I hope they spark conversations that lend to positive emotions, a great first week of school, and a fabulous 22-23 school year. The Night Before Kindergarten: Do you have a little one attending the “big” school for the first time? Read a story that follows children through the process of packing school supplies, posing for pictures, and saying goodbye to mom and dad. What Should Danny Do?: Your child gets to make the decisions for Danny as you read with 9 different stories wrapped up in one. This book teaches our children that every single choice matters. The Invisible Boy: A heartfelt story about friendship, kindness, and showing compassion to everyone. First Day Jitters: The main character in this story is nervous about the first day of school and worries about making new friends. Follow along with Sarah Jane as she conquers her fears– everyone gets jittery sometimes. Ruby Finds a Worry: The more Ruby thinks about her worry, the bigger it gets. She finally realizes that everyone has worries! The key to getting rid of them? Sharing your thoughts with others. Eraser: The story of an eraser who learns that her purpose is to erase, nothing else. Follow along as she figures out who she is and learns to appreciate everyone else along the way. I am Enough: A New York Times best seller about loving yourself and being kind. “We are all here for a purpose. We are more than enough. We just need to believe it.” Dear Girl: An empowering book that reinforces the fact that girls hold a powerful place in the world. Also find the companion story, Dear Boy! The Whatifs: Children learn to overcome anxiety by following the story of a girl who thinks of all the things that could go wrong before her upcoming piano recital. All of these books are linked below OR find them here: https://amzn.to/3PIgQkz I have also placed a few of these picture books around Madison in several Little Free Libraries!!

Try Main Event Huntsville WITHOUT the kids. We went recently with a group of friends and tried it all. The food was delicious & the best part? ..They even have a full bar . We did their meal and ticket deal where you pay $30, ordering off their smaller menu (there are around 6 options) and you get a $30 ticket card for games. You can’t beat that & we always have MORE than enough food. ✨Laser Tag was our groups favorite part. Order your game using the kiosk at the front and then put your name on the waitlist at the laser tag room. We had the entire game room to ourselves . So.much.fun. We spent a good amount of time playing games too! My favorite was the interactive game wall, but there are several traditional games as well as new virtual reality set ups! Cash in your tickets (your game card keeps up with them) at the prize station at the end for some awesome treats and trinkets. Last but not least was bowling. This speaks for itself, but the clean and friendly atmosphere and drink service was a huge plus. Kudos to myself for winning Some other things we noticed while there: This would be a great place for a birthday party. There were a few happening while we were there and they looked so taken care of by the staff. There are several pool tables! They have gravity ropes! An extreme indoor ropes course with swaying bridge, balancing bridge, and tight rope all suspended high above all the other action. 6884 Governors West, Huntsville (Next to Bridgestreet, in the old Toys R Us Building) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656634996992-OVWP69M1SKF12W11EE3B/madison.alabama.date.night.jpeg Guide to Madison - Date Night Ideas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656634997396-V3VO1HY4E2Q51H583MPA/madison.alabama.date.night2.jpeg Guide to Madison - Date Night Ideas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656634998644-NE8A1IL5PKURTTR7JZXA/madison.alabama.date.night3.jpeg Guide to Madison - Date Night Ideas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656634999257-LY9HM47MXTHJ0GJCIETM/madison.alabama.date.night4.jpeg Guide to Madison - Date Night Ideas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656635000532-WQDBLQLV97ODHR1MZVO1/madison.alabama.date.night6.jpeg Guide to Madison - Date Night Ideas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656635001296-8I78B8MPP82VSI39PXQS/madison.alabama.date.night25.jpeg Guide to Madison - Date Night Ideas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/a23c2c1c-a0bf-48ab-9a60-447587f04506/cocktails.with.a.view1.jpeg Guide to Madison - Date Night Ideas - Cocktails with a View Burritt on the Mountain hosts Cocktails with a View every Wednesday 5-8 PM from April to October!

We purchased tickets via a Facebook group where people sell their season tickets, so we got a nice four top table. This was the absolute best place to be with our two little ones. We were right next to the berm (grassy seating area-these tickets are only $8!) and that looked like a great spot to be with kids as well. We arrived to the game one hour prior to the first pitch. This way we had time to scope things out, visit the store, and grab some drinks. The kids were crazy about the Kona Ice. This was perfect because it was HOT. We WERE allowed to bring our diaper bag in. It was searched and tagged. I had packed a little battery operated fan that came in super handy…would definitely recommend. We discovered a nice play area for kids to get some wiggles out over on the north side of the stadium. So smart. An overall great experience. Our kids were super entertained. We are so excited to return for many more games this season and next. Games start back up on July 4th! Check out their schedule and/or grab some tickets! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656628186987-OFD6M0WTVW6U8LT12JNK/trashpanda1.jpeg Guide to Madison - Our First Trash Pandas Game https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656628186645-UMOKZIK2QYEIGTE8A145/trashpanda2.jpeg Guide to Madison - Our First Trash Pandas Game https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656628187325-P3CNLFZ378MJC0S46HGL/trashpanda3.jpeg Guide to Madison - Our First Trash Pandas Game https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656628188166-W9PJ43NVFKC1F0GXSJDE/trashpanda4.jpeg Guide to Madison - Our First Trash Pandas Game https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656628191206-XD0DIU815SCR54I9BENC/trashpanda5.jpeg Guide to Madison - Our First Trash Pandas Game https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656628191685-LPZC8AX13SCRT0VYEC7C/trashpanda6.jpeg Guide to Madison - Our First Trash Pandas Game https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656628192031-7S7XN9GCHT2KU9E5GSWE/trashpanda7.jpeg Guide to Madison - Our First Trash Pandas Game https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656628192590-G8DL41PCZU6JN3ODL97B/trashpanda8.jpeg Guide to Madison - Our First Trash Pandas Game https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656628193176-XD5A3N4BGSAON45TQCOG/trashpanda9.jpeg Guide to Madison - Our First Trash Pandas Game https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1656628193815-KYEET0CMBCOXUGT4QJZF/trashpanda10.jpeg Guide to Madison - Our First Trash Pandas Game https://www.themadisonmom.com/guidetomadison/hubbert-family-farm monthly 0.5 2022-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/7d1e97f7-2277-404f-a811-76979b4f4375/hubbert.family.farms4.jpeg Guide to Madison - Hubert Family Farm - Tulip Picking Look no further than the Hubert Family Farms this weekend for a fun family outing!

TULIP FAQ •peak bloom is approaching in the next 7 days •admission is $8. Includes rocket ride, hot air balloon(wind dependent), bunnies, kiddie maze •you-pick tulips are $2.50 per stem. 12 for $25. Some tips from me: wear the right shoes! It gets muddy out there, and there’s a short walk from the parking lot to the fields. Rain boots would be perfect. You might even want a clean pair for the ride home bring a picnic! We packed up sandwiches and fruit for the kids and a mini charcuterie for the adults!

English Mountain Trout Farm was just that!! We arrived and got two fishing poles (one for Owen and one for Hazel). We knew they probably wouldn’t eat too much of the fish, so we also ordered them something off their kids menu and planned for the fish to be our (the adults) main meal. We had help baiting the poles and the kids threw in their lines. We had a blast working to catch our fish and before long they each had one caught! Someone helps you with a net and then takes your fish off to the kitchen! Waiting is the hard part, but it’s well worth it! Choose blackened or fried with side of French fries, hush puppies, coleslaw, fried green tomatoes and more. & it was absolutely delicious!! Order Grab poles and bait Fish Wait Eat If you are traveling through, you should definitely add this to your list of must try places. Remember, it’s an experience .

This “treehouse” is perched off into the trees, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Let me paint a picture of our unforgettable experience: Amenities: Hot Tub: Soaking in warm bubbles under the star-studded sky. Bliss! Fire Pit: We gathered around for hours, toasted marshmallows, and shared stories. Hammocks: You can easily lose track of time, enjoying a book in the many swings and hammocks. Game Room: Foosball tournament fun and laughter echoed through the trees for sure! Washer and Dryer: Practical luxury—because even treehouse adventurers need fresh clothes! Queen Bunks: Cozy nooks for Owen and Hazel. They quickly claimed their spots! And So Much More: The treehouse surprised us at every turn with its amenities and gorgeous, thoughtful touches throughout. Work and Play: While we vowed to spend less time on our devices during our stay, my husband, who was not on spring break like the rest of us, set up his laptop in the treehouse for work. The top-notch WiFi kept him connected and there was even a desk upstairs in the master! While he worked I took the kids out for some fun park hopping and grabbed breakfast at one of our favorites—- Blue Plate Cafe! Since the treehouse is close to Huntsville, the options for adventures are absolutely endless Local Flavor: At DJS Pizza, we devoured slices! My favorite? The wings! As the sun peaked over the horizon on our final morning, we sat on the porch, sipping coffee, and vowed to return soon. The Haven Treehouse isn’t just a place; it’s a TRUE time capsule of joy and a promise for rest and connection. 155 Ryland Pike, Huntsville, AL 35811 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720980797458-5ZHN08AY9A1HT8GQHGAT/haven+treehouse+1.jpg TRAVEL - The Haven Treehouse - Huntsville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720980797322-KO3JSNZ150ZML6PEQH7C/haven+treehouse+2.jpg TRAVEL - The Haven Treehouse - Huntsville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720980799165-NQ2VZHNA92Q94JHKQVKX/haven+treehouse+3.jpg TRAVEL - The Haven Treehouse - Huntsville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720980799257-F03PNFJ826K0UP70U4RN/haven+treehouse+4.jpg TRAVEL - The Haven Treehouse - Huntsville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720980801132-0HI5HUTG7BOXOVHLX99F/haven+treehouse+5.jpg TRAVEL - The Haven Treehouse - Huntsville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720980801018-88XG5J889M35GOIQ496L/haven+treehouse+6.jpg TRAVEL - The Haven Treehouse - Huntsville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720980802065-236RYT1SKMLTO9DB0BSH/haven+treehouse+8.jpg TRAVEL - The Haven Treehouse - Huntsville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720980803064-4L5DWQ70GR9CJAYH1SP5/haven+treehouse+9.jpg TRAVEL - The Haven Treehouse - Huntsville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720980803995-X8STASPZ77SVFV1G8DKZ/haven+treehouse+10.jpg TRAVEL - The Haven Treehouse - Huntsville, Alabama https://www.themadisonmom.com/travel/pach-park-clanton-alabama monthly 0.5 2024-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/fa5629f6-4e58-4d99-99ae-8a2da85809b0/peach+park+1.jpg TRAVEL - Pach Park - Clanton, Alabama - Peach Park Headed south?? Need a pit stop to get the wiggles out and grab a great (scratch that) *amazing* bite to eat?! Around a 2 hour and 20 minute drive from Madison sits @peach_park_clanton in Clanton, Alabama. We discovered it a few years ago on our first beach trip with our son, Owen. I was looking for ALL the places to stop with a baby. If you time it right for lunch, grab a bite to eat. Peach Park has daily specials that can include fried catfish filets, smoked ribeye pork chop, meatloaf, and southern sides like corn nuggets, hush puppies, fried green tomatoes, and Mac and cheese just to name a few. End your meal with delicious peach cobbler (it’s worth the stop just for this!) and/or homemade ice cream. Enjoy your meal in the diner or grab a spot outside while the kids play. There are so many options for them to enjoy: swings, slides, seesaw, and more. They’ve even added a small stage and now offer live music throughout the week. If you’re traveling early, before Peach Park opens for lunch, grab breakfast next door at Peach Park Express!! Here, they sell all of their BBQ, cobbler, homemade ice cream, etc. all day, 7 days a week. If you’re in a hurry, stop by! Same owners. Same food. Done eating? Grab something from their indoor market to enjoy at your destination or some peaches to cook with at home. There’s so much to choose from! The market also includes a boutique with clothing, bags, coozies, tumblers, and more. It’s truly the perfect place to stop along the way. Our kids didn’t want to leave.

As I mentioned yesterday, we rented an RV for a little camping adventure last weekend. We love Honeycomb Campground, but wanted to try something different this year! We ended up researching Seibold Campground in Guntersville (thanks dad!) and knew this would be a great spot for our family. We loved that there was a pool, shade, and was within a few miles of @cityharbor_lakeguntersville for a quick outing if desired. When we arrived we are PLEASANTLY surprised that the location was even better than the website portrayed. Well kept and gorgeous, we enjoyed the mature, tall trees that were not only beautiful, but provided some much needed shade. Everyone on the grounds (it looks like some visitors stay longer term) were MORE than friendly. Everyone smiles, waves, and are just so inviting. The kids loved riding their bikes and we felt very safe on the roads, as everyone drives slow! The pool was a major plus. It was clean and a great place to cool off and burn some toddler energy. We went fishing off the small docks and caught many little fish so bring your fishing gear! We grabbed live worms at a store nearby. You'll also want to grab some firewood. If you have a boat, there's also a boat ramp for use! Each campsite has a picnic table and fire pit. The campground is pet friendly! We ended up taking our new puppy, Milo, and we are SO glad did. There were many other dogs and they were all properly cared for and leashed during our stay. City Harbor, an establishment of restaurants and shops on a dock in Guntersville, is a short drive away. Grab a drink, dinner, and and listen to live music! An overall fantastic stay! I would definitely recommend you check it out! 54 Seibold Creek Rd, Guntersville, AL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720978230078-2I23EVUIAT6U8LBAU2JQ/Seibold+Campground+.jpg TRAVEL - Seibold Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720978230489-5I8J7YE1SDO1ITDGYF83/Seibold+Campground+3.jpg TRAVEL - Seibold Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720978231164-R06I9XG3L2OVR9YY3AZH/Seibold+Campground+4.jpg TRAVEL - Seibold Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720978231589-Z2EVCWU53VAQKIK61L0S/Seibold+Campground+5.jpg TRAVEL - Seibold Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720978233104-83W7N826FDB0WDPT5ZJR/Seibold+Campground+6.jpg TRAVEL - Seibold Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720978232853-XOG9I2F6WI8I4Y15O26Z/Seibold+Campground+7.jpg TRAVEL - Seibold Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720978233955-AXXJ2M0FLHUZ69KNOQLI/seibold+campground+8.jpg TRAVEL - Seibold Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720978234523-F2YV9NGMD1W1Q0BWPHNR/Seibold+Campground+9.jpg TRAVEL - Seibold Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720978235040-J3W6M16L1J40J2XL5VCZ/Seibold+campground+10.jpg TRAVEL - Seibold Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720978235638-QQ0SC0VGWW28JXJSIECM/seibold+campground+12.jpg TRAVEL - Seibold Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720978236107-ZAKEQ3GQGEN21PA561LY/Seibold+Campground.jpg TRAVEL - Seibold Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1720978236670-GBNHST55VQ88WS9EH3OW/seibold+cmapground+11.jpg TRAVEL - Seibold Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://www.themadisonmom.com/travel/the-perfect-local-staycation monthly 0.5 2024-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/d6c22d37-852c-43c2-96ab-673daafd0ff4/IMG_1809.JPG TRAVEL - Marriott Shoals - The Perfect Local “Staycation” The Pool Let’s be honest, the pool was the main reason for our visit! I had visions of yummy cocktails and fun dips into the water…and those visions came to life for sure! We absolutely love the little shallow “beach” area in the pool for kids. Owen and Hazel were able to run and play while we watched them close by. There’s also a waterfall you can swim under and a water slide. You have to be at-least 4 feet tall to go down the slide, so that wasn’t in the cards for our littles. You can enjoy also enjoy the hot tub and visit the heated indoor pool as well! They provide towels, which is an added plus. To our surprise, just off of our room (we could walk straight off our patio onto the lawn) there were lots of yard games: corn hole, tic tac toe, and more! I was not super excited about being on the ground floor at first. I had imagined a room with a view of the gorgeous Tennessee River, but quickly decided we got the best room in the house. Being on the ground floor, we could walk straight out to the yard games and picnic tables and cruise easily in and out of the pool gate. This lead to easy bathroom breaks and quick trips inside to grab forgotten items. We could stop by and change out of swim suits for a visit to the park without walking inside the hotel or taking an elevator…..YES PLEASE. We will definitely be asking for a similar ground floor room in the future. We brought a few pool toys with us and I am so glad we did, They were busy playing for hours: Magnetic Fishing Water Blasters Water Balls Pool hours are 8 AM -10 PM and we stayed from about 10 AM (after breakfast) to 3:30. Our time at the pool was made even better with live music that was set up for a few hours. They host games like bingo and trivia occasionally in the afternoons as well. The pool area includes a bar where you can order drinks and food.

I am a tad picky when it comes to hotel stays. The problem?-I never like to be too far from a good coffee and a snack. I was delighted to find that The Marriott Shoals has an in house coffee bar where I ordered a coffee each morning and I was not disappointed with the food options either. Food and drinks at the pool? Absolutely! Outside food and drinks are not permitted, although I do believe toddler snacks are okay. We enjoyed ordering from the pool bar. After ordering, you stay and wait for your drinks to be made (it’s not quick, but definitely worth it), but they will send you with a numbered flag to attach to your pool chair and will find you when your food is ready. Genius. Just a note - it’s not cheap. I will be more prepared with snacks and lunches at our next visit. Throw some uncrustables and chips in the room and take a break from the sun- definitely a more affordable option! We chose to eat dinner at Swampers (twice) which is teaming with hotel guests and locals often times enjoying live music. I would describe the food as upscale bar food. My favorite was the swampers burger and fries…they’ve got the good ranch if you were wondering. The breakfast buffet was not included with our hotel stay, but the kids ate free. In addition to the buffet options, they will also make omelets and waffles to order. Located on the Marriott property, you will find The 360 Grille. Atop the “tower,” take the elevator to the top for a A wonderful choice for lunch or dinner, enjoy a 360 view where the floor rotates a full rotation as you eat. A unique experience that we love to take advantage of for date nights and special occasions. If you are up for an adventure away from the hotel, there are several options for dining around town: Trowbridges Odette Ricatoni’s Italian Stanfield’s River Bottom Grille https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1685471858068-74QPSJ787TNWG1JNTQB1/IMG_1638.JPG TRAVEL - Marriott Shoals - The Perfect Local “Staycation” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1685471857807-PHUL3L25AW6DV1QUICGW/IMG_1655.JPG TRAVEL - Marriott Shoals - The Perfect Local “Staycation” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1685471863530-Q0CH4VX8WZCJEJHJVJOC/IMG_1717+2.JPG TRAVEL - Marriott Shoals - The Perfect Local “Staycation” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1685471863365-5464E9LZ28JAN08PMROM/IMG_1758.JPG TRAVEL - Marriott Shoals - The Perfect Local “Staycation” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1685471867111-636L8OJIGLW7DZY8LKBA/IMG_1760.JPG TRAVEL - Marriott Shoals - The Perfect Local “Staycation” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1685471869823-XA627KXE2E80N00R0O7J/IMG_2013.JPG TRAVEL - Marriott Shoals - The Perfect Local “Staycation” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1685471870809-Q1AEPRMJ3VB0BIVS3Y8J/IMG_1790.JPG TRAVEL - Marriott Shoals - The Perfect Local “Staycation” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1685471872877-2A62BYXFIVCGX364TWUV/IMG_2014.JPG TRAVEL - Marriott Shoals - The Perfect Local “Staycation” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1685471877734-WC9W89W9I67GJ62LCIKA/IMG_2015.JPG TRAVEL - Marriott Shoals - The Perfect Local “Staycation” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1685471877823-SPFW542HV4S4LRBOSZU0/IMG_1833.JPG TRAVEL - Marriott Shoals - The Perfect Local “Staycation” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/ebeaac27-776f-4a67-a88b-078f5c8d1c95/IMG_1692.JPG TRAVEL - Marriott Shoals - The Perfect Local “Staycation” The Park Swinging benches for parents, tables for snacks/lunch, slides, rock wall, and more-the park was absolutely perfect!

In our research, we found that Honeycomb Campground would be perfect for many reasons. Honeycomb is located on Lake Guntersville in Grant, Alabama (about an hour from Madison) between Huntsville and Guntersville, The 141-site campground offers plenty of amenities including: Number one on my list was the little “lake beach.” You can even enjoy this beach without camping/RVing! Use the Day-Use area including beach, picnic tables, and grills for $12 a day or purchase a season pass for $90. General Store-This is great for those little items you might have forgotten at home: toothbrush, toothpaste, toilet paper. We had forgotten eggs for our breakfast and were surprised to learn they sold items like this at the store too! Boat rentals (paddle and pedal boats) Bath houses Bathrooms Showers Pavilion Playground Boat slips There are many different types of spots to choose from when looking for your specific camping spot at Honeycomb including RV hookups (there are 6 sites that include an RV for renting!), tent camping sites, and even cabins! We made our reservations pretty last minute, so we had to opt for an RV spot for our tent set-up that was not water front, but we were not disappointed. We stayed for two nights and the cost was $38 a night. Our kiddos were so excited to learn that Honeycomb hosts little events on the weekends as well. Friday night included a kid-friendly movie! Originally planned to be shown on the beach, the showing was moved to the pavilion due to rain, but was just as enjoyable. They also hosted a mother’s day breakfast Saturday morning- so sweet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684714936860-YCHRN8XHUQ3DVYYWO766/IMG_0397.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Inside General Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684714936658-NYNYSMZLUV3YG4LY7GWD/IMG_0399.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Inside General Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684714939723-N06HI0FGU08HY84FZOSZ/IMG_0453.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Icecream from General Store https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684715225871-RE47XJTJQTZGT5N2IVEX/IMG_0178.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Walk to the beach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684715226103-4KFNVP1UM9VPTQI7TATX/IMG_0179.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684715233491-O98OD74F260PI8VWS1O5/IMG_0184.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Paddle boats and canoes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684715232922-WFK2VSYLKP7D08Y48AMY/IMG_0185.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Covered slips https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684715238573-78H0F1GMMXA2BWZ4L2Q8/IMG_0189.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Picnic tables and grills https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/c2bb3331-deb0-450e-8380-872b3a92b898/IMG_0170+2.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Our Set-Up Once we arrived we immediately began setting up our little home away from home. First, we chose a spot on our site that was semi-level and tucked away for our tent, removed any large rocks and branches, and laid a tarp. My husband then worked setting up the tent while I set out an outdoor rug in front of the tent, unpacked our chairs, cleaned off our table, placed our fitted tablecloth, and set-up our dish washing and hand washing station. Once the tent was ready to go, we blew up our camping mattresses and laid out our sleeping bags and blankets. We left our suitcases and bags in the car and pulled from them as needed. Here are some things we loved for set-up (underlined links below): Fitted tablecloth-This is a MUST. We will be bringing this on every single camping trip in the future. We were able to easily wipe it clean and it did not fly away in the wind/breeze. It folds up nicely into its little carrier so that you can use it again and again. Outdoor rug-It was great to be able to step out of the tent onto something other than rocks! Here, we were able to put on and take off shoes. Collapsable tub and water dispenser- this made washing our dishes a breeze. We filled our water dispenser at home, but they do have a water spigot near the playground area you could use to fill or refill. Air Mattresses - Nothing would be worse than sleeping on the cold hard ground and I definitely knew my kids would NOT be about that life, so we grabbed these kid sized mattresses and these small ones for us! For future trips….I think I will plan to do something other than the small mats for us adults. The kids were definitely more comfortable! Here’s our tent! It claims to sleep 6 and comfortably slept the four of us. We took the rain shield off during the day for a short nap in order to get some good air flow going. I am not going to lie…It got a little toasty- especially for a May trip. For our next camping adventure, we discussed bringing an air cooler or fan because it could definitely be warmer than it was outside! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684714405495-UR24C8DQPNWR9K6EVRQI/IMG_0559.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Tablecloth This was a LIFESAVER.

I overpacked for food because I definitely did NOT want to go hungry. I started with a large ziplock full of my children’s favorites: gummies, applesauce pouches, cereal bars, and Slim Jims. It’s also important to plan each meal meticulously so that you don’t forget any important items needed. We put all of our food items in a large tub and had a designated “food’ cooler. We also had a drink cooler full of our favorites. When arriving at the campgrounds you can purchase your firewood at the General Store and even have them deliver it to your site. We stopped by the store for check-in and ordered our firewood first thing. It arrived within the first five minutes of our set-up! Here’s what we planned for our late Friday afternoon arrival: Friday Dinner-hot dogs, hot dog buns, chips, ketchup, fruit (I purchased a large fruit tray from Kroger, pre-cut, and placed it all together in a large ziplock for easy additions to each meal), roasting sticks for cooking hotdogs. We tried wrapping our hotdogs in crecent rolls too! We ended the night with s’mores!: Graham Crackers, chocolate, marshmallows, roasting sticks. Saturday Breakfast-Bacon, toast, fruit, bananas, pancakes (easy mix squeeze bottle), syrup, coffee, creamer Saturday Lunch-Grilled Cheese: bread, cheese, butter, chips. We tried a “camping cooker” to make our grilled cheese over the fire, but ended up whipping out a skillet over our cooking stove. We liked that much better, but it would definitely work if you didn’t have a stove! Saturday Dinner-Steaks (we put these in a ziplock with some marinade before leaving), corn (tin foil), butter, bread Sunday Breakfast-Bacon, toast, eggs, coffee, creamer Some other items we used in our cooking adventures: Camping Stove -We found a really nice used one on eBay, but this one looks similar! Camping plate, bowls, mugs, and utensil set Camping coffee pot Tub for dishwashing Camping pots and pans Paper towel roll and/or wipes Citronella candles to keep bugs away-oh! Don’t forget the bug spray too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684721416358-ULHNA49TXPBL4OF7GWQ2/IMG_0522.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - We bought our camping stove on ebay! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684721416062-P7FLO4WKYPGY8U3NUKTT/IMG_0501.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Cooking coffee and bacon on our camping stove https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684721936241-D7FQ2D45MQM4O09663SO/IMG_0535+2.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684721934009-N7FGOOVVNJ9HYUR2BT5O/IMG_0531.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Coffee is a must! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684721938477-PVJFDY2JIQE6PX1NT0BL/IMG_0469.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Steaks! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684721942871-VBCBCNVM28N4GQLTV2HV/IMG_0464.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Corn! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684721946108-TQC6LYWL16CZMLL6XTBB/IMG_0434.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Neat camping cooker we tried! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684721951589-MGDTRJ9QXIHNVACTKSI3/IMG_0431.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684721951132-DZ6FG7VTZNLQEQS2NENF/IMG_0267.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684721957003-IQ67VJ533384NY94JWST/IMG_0237.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684721960336-QIBJUO5B8TTH22Q40KIY/IMG_0227.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/07d3a662-a023-4e10-87d3-e379e75dbcef/IMG_0382.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - What’s there to do? With two toddlers, you need something else to do besides sit next to a campfire for two days. Here’s what we did: Playground-Our kiddos made LOTS of friends at the playground. They enjoyed the slides and begged to go every ten seconds-ha! Cooked-we loved making this fun. We tried these “magical flames” that changed the color of the fire! It worked much better than we thought it would and was great entertainment for the kids. Movie-We loved that they showed a movie under the pavilion. We should have popped out own popcorn over the campfire before! Walks-We enjoyed walking to the park, piers, and around the campsites. We brought scooters for the kids! Read-Bring books! This was a great way to wind the kids down before bed. Beach swimming-don’t forget to pack swimsuits and towels Ice-cream from the General Store was a great end to a day swimming in the lake! Bug catching- We ordered a bug catching kit for both Owen and Hazel. They spent HOURS finding bugs, slugs, etc. to put in their kits. Games- We didn’t end up using it, but did bring a yard game for us adults. We will definitely use on future trips. Rent a paddle boat- We didn’t this time! But it looked like fun. Fishing-We didn’t do this either, but saw lots of people out on the piers with fishing poles. Some kids at the campsite had glow stick necklaces and I thought that was a brilliant idea. It gets super dark out and it’s hard to keep an eye on the kids as they run around. They were kind enough to offer both Owen and Hazel one and they were so excited to play with them in the dark! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684723887709-VTAY7P5Z0FOH1A9C7RY7/IMG_0457.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Walk from beach with ice-cream https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684723892577-6A8N5N095QEQSJPCFM4B/IMG_0412.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - At the "beach!" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684723902155-6WF89XG0HZY5UZH34UNT/IMG_0382.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Fun at the playground https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684723896182-T2QM4NSD4CHRAJ92UMDB/IMG_0366.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Morning walk to the pier https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684723905989-JPNAKVDRPAPU4N9D30Q4/IMG_0352.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Scooter rides https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684723907309-S14ZVKOL35AUSBILSQ6V/IMG_0339.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Looking for bugs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684723911769-5WQ7JGV71XHYI3XKAI56/IMG_0321.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Bug catching kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684723912473-M1XO0LWNL3IUTSJQI0JZ/IMG_0308.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Bug catching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684723916610-WL3ETV7FHURWQYZDBH1I/IMG_0295.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Bug catching kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684723949912-WW5ZRNA3OLLMXHT6WGS7/IMG_0272.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama - Friday night movie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1684726248836-YZQHPXJ9VQ0LE37086PO/IMG_0183.JPG TRAVEL - Honeycomb Campground - Guntersville, Alabama https://www.themadisonmom.com/eat-in-madison daily 0.75 2024-07-14 https://www.themadisonmom.com/eat-in-madison/crickets-wings monthly 0.5 2023-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/f5d8fe76-626b-4fa0-9710-d2675680ae3c/crickets.madison.alabama.1.jpeg Eat in Madison - Crickets Wings - The BEST wings in Madison, Alabama HOMETOWN HOTSPOT You're not officially a Madison resident until you've eaten at Crickets.

We grew up visiting on Sundays, covering our fresh hush puppies in white sauce and salt before finishing a plate of bbq. Top it all off with a sweet tea and a homemade pie. A little back story: The restaurant building you now visit was built in 1952 by Jack Webb as a take out only, one room structure. Jack built the building by hand, and later built some of the tables you now eat on. It has been remodeled and enlarged several times, the last time by the present owners, the Evans family. The kitchen has been completely updated, but the original rustic decor has been left intact in the dining rooms. In the early years at Greenbrier, country music stars used to perform on the roof of the building to bring in crowds. The road in front of the building was the main highway between Decatur and Huntsville and still has the name of "Old Highway 20." It was first replaced by Highway 20 and now I-565. Greenbrier now specializes in catfish, seafood and Barbequed meats. They also do parties and catering. No question. It's a must try for some good southern cooking. 27028 Old Hwy 20, Madison As of a few months ago, they are now closed on Sundays, but are open Mon-Sat 10 AM-8 PM. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1661011744745-M0AET4L2ZI9YEET88R5P/greenbrier-restaurant.jpeg Eat in Madison - Greenbrier Restaurant https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1661011744950-85O67FFLH5E57TURCEG8/greenbrier-restaurant3.jpeg Eat in Madison - Greenbrier Restaurant https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1661011745341-NQOQGOR0HQH3SD87U372/greenbrier-restaurant2.jpeg Eat in Madison - Greenbrier Restaurant https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1661011745624-BS9G845Y1UTUQYLPUQWU/greenbrier-restaurant1.jpeg Eat in Madison - Greenbrier Restaurant https://www.themadisonmom.com/eat-in-madison/little-libbys monthly 0.5 2022-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/31c31f97-2ce4-49bf-b0d8-d8dbfae001de/libbys1.jpeg Eat in Madison - Little Libby’s - A Southern Breakfast.

Tucked away in New Market, this Madison County park gave us major old Kids Kingdom energy — you know, the kind that takes you right back to childhood? It's low-key, peaceful, and packed with charm. Here’s what we loved: Playgrounds galore There are multiple play structures, perfect for younger and older kids alike. The equipment may not be shiny and new, but that's part of the charm. It has that slightly weathered, well-loved vibe that makes kids feel right at home to run wild and get creative. Bathrooms on site Major win. Picnic-friendly spaces We packed sandwiches and snacks and grabbed one of the many picnic tables sprinkled throughout the park. There are also covered pavilions if you’re planning something more official — or just want to enjoy lunch with a view. Pondside peace & a small waterfall One of the highlights was the walk around the pond. It’s an easy, scenic stroll (perfect for strollers or little feet), with swings that let you rock and relax while looking out over the water. There’s even a small waterfall that adds a little magic to the walk. Wildlife watching & wide open spaces From ducks to dragonflies, there’s plenty to see — and lots of grassy space to run and play. Pro Tips: The swings by the lake are a must. Take your coffee, take a moment. Great spot for a casual playdate or even a birthday picnic. This park may not be as buzzy as some of the newer spots, but that's what makes it so special. If you’re local to North Alabama and haven’t visited yet — add it to your summer bucket list.

The subject property had previously been approved for a 66 lot subdivision in 2022 (Bradford Downs); however, the developer decided to not move forward with the project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1728053282568-U0J00UHOF27BKJTJQKFB/sunshineoakspark.jpg Parks - Sunshine Oaks Park - Madison, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1728053282613-26R7KHVU9CWCXUU9CJ33/sunshineoakspark1.jpg Parks - Sunshine Oaks Park - Madison, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1728053283697-9K23H6S2QYMBKAE93NVE/sunshineoakspark2.jpg Parks - Sunshine Oaks Park - Madison, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1728053283809-7AZYQ2ERNHDXKUQM7XLP/sunshineoakspark3.jpg Parks - Sunshine Oaks Park - Madison, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1728053284993-OYOPGT8WGQFQJL676KIT/sunshineoakspark4.jpg Parks - Sunshine Oaks Park - Madison, Alabama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/1728053285188-GSEEKT5KNVQ9RK1ABOYM/sunshineoakspark5.jpg Parks - Sunshine Oaks Park - Madison, Alabama https://www.themadisonmom.com/parks/kids-kingdom-madison-alabama monthly 0.5 2024-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b1d3408ad5795e6ae7f620/c0ed946b-a158-4534-8e46-fdcdb8ce6d94/Kids+Kingdom+5.jpg Parks - Kids Kingdom - Madison, Alabama - Kids Kingdom The wait is over!

Explore the 20 miles of hiking trails and 14 miles of biking trails in the area as well, but I think it's worth the trek up the mountain just to make that stop by the park! We grabbed Chick-fil-A on Governors to eat while there, but you could easily pack and bring your own lunch/drinks from home. We did some walking and exploring and discovered a disc golf course and a short trail that lead to a cool waterfall! ---> more info on the waterfall next week! Notes: It looks like there's some construction happening next to the play area, but we enjoyed our visit non the less!! Play equipment is mostly in the sun, but there’s plenty of shaded benches and tables in the area where you can cool off.

You may have seen on our Instagram stories Tuesday, we made the 30 minute drive from Madison to spend some quality outdoor time with friends! So much fun was had. I know what you're after...SHADE. Hays has a ton of it. Pick one of their many picnic tables (we packed lots of snacks and water) and watch your children explore. Our favorites were the giant rope swing, sand dig area, swinging bridge, tree house, and seesaws. This place is giant. There's so much to do. We were also excited to find that they have bathrooms!! You can't forget to explore the other areas of Hays as well. My kids were obsessed with the lake and streams. We will definitely be taking the fishing poles next time. Explore the over 10 miles of hiking trails and greenways that follows the Flint River.

It was then that I discovered that this place was something special. This past week I got to take my own children here. To say that my memory served me well would be an understatement. This park has it ALL: shade over playground equipment, an incredibly large play area, shaded seating for parents, basketball courts, lush greenery, several picnic pavilions, bathrooms, opportunities for learning with a history walk, and…of course, a splash pad!

It is such a great feature of our little town. If we are feeling adventurous , we will pack up and head to the Mill Creek entrance. Our kids love to watch the horses and on several occasions we have been steps away from deer! Don’t put it past us to take our shoes off and wade in the creek either. One of my fondest childhood memories is playing in the creek next to my grandparents house for hours upon hours…So seeing my kids do this brings so much joy. It’s the perfect serene spot to get away, without going far at all.

Madison, Alabama Parks and Recreation just made some huge upgrades here and it looks like they are still working on extending the mulch to include the swings. It is . The playground includes slides, a rock wall, tunnel, regular swings, and baby swings. The play area is full sun, but there are several older benches and picnic tables located in the shade. There’s plenty of space for running and playing in the large field and even a single basketball goal with room for shooting some hoops. Definitely worth checking out!

First up is a no brainer: Dublin Park! 8324 Madison Pike Madison, AL Madison, Alabama Parks and Recreation We visited Kids Kingdom, located behind the main building, this past week. It was a dream to get energy out on the way home from daycare! There are several picnic tables to enjoy a picnic or snack while you are there. My kids truly enjoyed the giant pile of mulch that probably was not intended for play Indoor bathrooms and water fountains are a huge plus! There have been rumblings of a renovation at this site and I am super excited about it! The plan is to rebuild the entire park with a focus on inclusivity! Read more or donate to the project here https://gobuildakingdom.com Wouldn’t it be cool if they added a little splash pad?! You heard the idea here first. ❤️ ⚽️ Dublin includes 9 soccer fields! Last year, we enjoyed putting our then 3 year old into AYSO soccer! It was a great low pressure experience for him. No games, just practices that ended with a popsicle from Coach Bob! There are multiple teams for all age groups. Here’s a list of everything they offer! * Double court gymnasium equipped for basketball, pickleball, and/or volleyball with an upstairs walking track * 25 yard – Eight lanes heated indoor swimming pool * Meeting rooms and administrative offices * Paved walking trail * Nine soccer fields * Nine hole disc golf course * Six tennis courts * Four outdoor pickleball courts * Community built playground * Outdoor pool with a diving well and kiddie pool Fees Daily walk in fees for usage of the Center are: * Ages three and under – No charge * Ages 4-59 years - $4 * 60 years of age and older - $2 * Walking track only - $2 * Tennis (Playing Singles) - $3 per player * Tennis (Playing Doubles) – $2 per player They even offer party packages for hosting events and birthday parties that can even include swimming!!

If you’re looking to cool off this weekend check out Brahan Spring Park Splash Pad in Huntsville, around a 20 minute drive from Madison! We stayed for around 2 hours yesterday and had the best time!! We packed a small cooler with water and fruit. I also brought a bag with towels and little buckets for playing. There’s no shade here. You could get away with bringing a small umbrella to make your own! Definitely don’t forget the sunscreen. ☀️ This location does have bathrooms and there are benches and a few picnic tables! There’s also a cool playground next to the splash pad! Owen loves a park…so we had to stop there too.

Bigfoot's Little Donuts is a family operated business that opened in early 2014. It is Bigfoot's goal to provide customers with unique and delicious donuts at a reasonable price. And delicious they are. They have definitely perfected the art of making hot and fresh mini-donuts. There are dozens of flavors to include many glazes that you will not find anywhere else. On my most recent visit I tried the Banana Nutella and Cookie Crumble. Next on my list: Blueberry cream Chocolate chip pancake Muddy buddy Apple butter Chocolate salted caramel There are so many flavors to choose from, you just can’t go wrong.

From red raspberry and cotton candy to cafe latte and gingerbread…the choice is yours! Jeremiah’s Italian Ice all rolled up into one simple mantra. Basically firmly believing in taking life for all that it’s worth, taking the time to taste all that life has to offer, even when it means stepping outside your comfort zone from time to time.

So they packed up their lives, moved to Alabama, and entered the world of real estate investing. Somewhere in the mix, their daughters convinced them to invest a coffee shop on an available piece of land here in Madison, AL. Thus began the story of Creme Brew Lait. I finally got to visit @cremebrewlait.alabama a few weeks ago. Perfectly situated on the corner of Wall Triana and Gillespie, the little two lane-drive thru only coffee house is such a delight. I had a vanilla lavender latte! After scrolling their Instagram, I think I’ll try their brown sugar cinnamon iced americano with cold foam next!

Looking for a fun and educational spring break activity? Look no further than Cathedral Caverns in beautiful northeast Alabama! We recently took a family trip and were amazed by the caverns’ history and natural beauty. Did you know they were originally called Bat Cave? That name definitely doesn’t capture the awe-inspiring formations inside! The guided tour takes you through breathtaking stalagmites, stalactites, and even a “frozen waterfall.” The best part? At the very end of your journey inside the cave, they turn off the lights, giving you a glimpse into the cave’s complete darkness - a truly unforgettable experience! The tour lasted approximately 90 minutes and we walked about 1.5 miles round trip! Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the scenic picnic tables outside the cave entrance. Cathedral Caverns State Park also features gemstone mining, an activity for any age, but especially popular with younger visitors. A bag or bucket of mining dirt (seeded with either rough cut gemstones or fossils) is purchased and then sifted through running water in custom-made flumes. You can then identify your finds using the gemstone identification display. It’s the perfect way to make a day of it and explore the park’s hiking trails and natural surroundings. Tours begin daily (7 days a week) at 10:00, 12:00, 2:00, and 4:00. Tour prices are $20 for ages 13 years and up, $9 for ages 5-12, and 4-Under there is no charge. Military Rate: $18.00 with valid ID.

I hadn’t been to @earlyworksfam in YEARS….back when I was little. So, I had imagined an older, lack luster space when deciding to take my kids for the first time. Man, was I wrong. I am kicking myself for not utilizing all that EarlyWorks has to offer sooner. This place is a parents dream. So many hands on activities: water table, coloring room, imaginative play, sock skating, the BEST tinker lab, and so much more. We could have spent our entire day there exploring. You can, most definitely, add this to your list of rainy day fun. Did you know?! EarlyWorks hosts a series of summer camps and they still have a few openings! Check out their website for more info. There are fun themed months planned for the entire year with unique and engaging activities and treats. April is all about the earth, May’s theme is Harry Potter: Mischief Managed, June will be Lego Extravaganza, July-Star Wars….and so much more. Enjoy “Sensory Friendly Sunday” where each third Sunday of the month children with neuro divergency or sensory sensitivities can explore EarlyWorks with limited noise, dimmed lights, and capacity limits to help prevent over stimulation. We can’t wait to go back!

We definitely know the importance of swim/water safety and have used a reputable swim company in years past for our Owen. When I heard about @goldfishswim_madison I was so excited to try them out! An indoor, heated pool where my kiddos can learn to swim during the cold “off season?!” YES. Sign me up! Owen was VERY hesitant when we told him he would be taking swim lessons. After his lesson…he was BEGGING to go back. He’s has talked about it constantly since. A huge win. Here are your options: Mini (baby) 4-35 months: Some minis require adult participation-Hazel’s does! Junior (beginner-intermediate) 3-4 years: independent lessons-This is where Owen is! Glider (beginner-intermediate) 4-12 years Pro (intermediate-advanced) Swim Force (Swim Team) If you’re not sure where your child fits in the above options, there’s an online assessment that will help, or they are more than helpful over the phone when registering! What I love the most: Small class sizes! The weather isn’t a factor! Changing rooms! Vanity area for after your swim. They even have hair dryers! Shower station You can set up multiple sessions at one time: you’re with your mini while your junior practices independently!—& you’re done in 30 minutes Free makeup lessons! Family swim hours! Host a party! Air conditioned viewing room Hazel was occupied with a fun craft station (coloring pages, crayons, chalk, chalk board) while waiting for Owen!

I truly, truly enjoy supporting our local shops. Our little town is growing and downtown is blossoming into something so amazing! The next time you visit downtown don't forget to walk into this yellow house! Enter the first door on your right and you are in L&L! After visiting their shop I, of course, had to find their website. Once there, I stumbled upon a note from the Lemon & Lavender team, Brandy and Shannon: "As women, we know the value of self-care, and as mothers, we also want to do our part to protect the environment to leave a better world for our children and grandchildren. This has led us to source many of our products from earth-derived, organic materials. We also strive to decrease consumer footprint by providing reusable containers to the best of our ability. We have proudly partnered with small businesses around the globe who share our same vision of eco-friendly products that are carefully curated. By shifting the mindset from convenient to conscious, our hope is to leave the world better than we found it. So we thank you for being a part of our vision - for being a part of an ongoing global sense of awareness in what we put in and on our bodies. Every day we are grateful for your support. We owe the success of our vision to you, our customers. Change starts with one but ends with many." What an amazing vision, not to mention amazing products! Some products I am loving: lavender shower steamer, woodwick soy candles, jute baskets, wooden dough bowls, vases, and their entire luxury self-care line. 16 Main St, Madison, AL 35758 Lemon & Lavender plans to open a newly renovated space just a couple buildings down in just a few weeks!!

We had the absolute best morning with Sara of @saralally.photography a few weeks ago. While it was HOT…we all had the best time. As a mom, I am absolutely obsessed with family pictures and just pictures of my kids in general. But getting the outfits ready, everyone up and out the door and smiling is a huge task…so I was especially nervous as to how my kids would act on this particular day . Sara immediately put me at ease. She has an easy way with kids and confidently prompted us with conversations, had the kids telling jokes, and pretending to be their favorite characters. Pure magic that absolutely worked. When taking the first look at our photos, I immediately knew I had to have every single one of them What an amazing job she did capturing my babies little personalities and editing to perfection. I plan to not only frame these for around my house, but also plan to frame and gift them to family for Christmas this year!! YOU have an amazing opportunity to work with her too as she is currently offering all of you a 20% discount when you book a fall 2023 session and use the code MADISON20MOM!!
