Hey Indy friends - popping in with a little heads up because this is one of those Indy traditions that sneaks up on the calendar every year, and it officially opens TOMORROW.

🎉 Jingle Rails at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art is back!

November 15, 2025 – January 19, 2026

It’s eight G-scale trains weaving through jaw-dropping miniature versions of Indy + the American West - all made from natural materials and twinkling with holiday sparkle. It’s one of those exhibits where you catch yourself staring just as long as the kids.

A few things to put on your radar (because we love a heads-up):

✨ Workshops:
• Dec 13 @ 11 AM & 1 PM – Holiday card foam printmaking (ages 10+)
• Dec 20 @ 11 AM & 1 PM – Clay train workshop (all ages!)
Both are make-and-take, all supplies included, registration required.

✨ Sensory-Friendly Morning:
If your kiddo (or you!) prefers a softer environment, they’re offering lower lights & sounds on Sunday, Dec 14, 10 AM–Noon. Truly thoughtful.

Don’t forget - there are extended evening hours on select dates and the Winter Markets are back too.

Let’s call it what it is: taking care of (checks notes) *everyone else* is a full-time job.

But between carpools and work calls, your own health deserves a spot on the list too. /AD/

Here’s your quick mom health checklist to peek before 2025 wraps up:

🩷 Mammogram — every year after 40
🩺 Annual well visit (schedule those labs, k?)
🧠 Mental health check-in — therapy matters, mama
☀️ Skin check — sunscreen ≠ optional
👖 Colonoscopy — 45 is the new 50’

It’s small steps AND a big peace of mind.

Find your care crew at — because health shouldn’t be the hardest thing we have to schedule.

We’ve tried lots of travel strollers but nothing beats the chunky wheels on those European cobblestones.

Here’s how to make any city stroller-friendly:
-Open Google Maps
-Type in your destination
-Click “directions”
-Select the “…” in the top right
-Select “options”
-Turn on “wheelchair accessible”

Boom. You’ll be given routes, minus the stairs! We always try it both ways to see if walk times are comparable! We’re not against carrying strollers up stairs… sometimes!
