Monday, May 3rd, 2010 by Denise Howie
“It will wash. That’s why God invented bleach!” I find myself saying that to the parents of my preschoolers more and more and to myself more and more. Kids get dirty. You can stop it. Don’t try. If it’s dirty, oily or sticky, your child will sit on it, rub up against it or roll in it.

When the City Girls Visit
Monday, April 26th, 2010 by Judy Sandeen
Our two grandgirls, ages 6 and 8, seem to love to visit Hastings from the big city of St Paul, Minnesota. While I’d like to think that their grandparents are the greatest reason, the truth is that they have an absolute blast when they’re here, and the attractions of Hastings are the big draw.

The Hastings Public Library is Super Rad!
Friday, April 23rd, 2010 by Russanne Erickson
Books are amazing. The day after I moved here – literally – I went to the library to get my library card. I didn’t have anything with my address on it, so I had to have my landlord type up a letter saying I did indeed live at the Chateau. The library lets you read books for FREE!

Springtime In Hastings
Monday, April 19th, 2010 by Andy Herrmann

But every once in a while, something extraordinary happens and reminds us that we don’t have it all that bad.

This Summer Take it Outside
Saturday, April 17th, 2010 by Scott Miller
The snow has melted, the sun has begun to shine, the sounds and smells of summer have started to permeate the air and I finally get to fire up my grill. The days are growing longer, the sun warmer and the children are beginning to stir. These are the tell-tale signs that summer is near.

The Yellow Brick Road of Hastings
Friday, April 16th, 2010 by Joey Fox
Now as the weather is finally getting better, people all around Hastings have been getting out and about into the great outdoors after a seemingly endless and brutally cold winter. Something that I enjoy a lot is riding my bicycle. A couple of years ago, Hastings built a very nice bike trail all around the town. If I can remember correctly, the bike trail is approximately 7 miles from start to finish

How Much Is Too Much?
Friday, April 9th, 2010 by Jill Kimle
A few weeks ago I was having a conversation with a friend about children and extracurricular activities. He was commenting on the fact that every spare evening/weekend was spent chauffeuring kids to some sort of practice or attending games. I jokingly asked if maybe the kids were involved in too much.

My mission for this particular afternoon was to find a nice evening outfit for an upcoming school fundraiser. The challenge was finding said outfit with my 4 and 6-year old daughters in tow.
