McLain’s
I have wonderful memories of McLain’s with my grandmother. My little self was thrilled when she folded a bear claw pastry into her order and shared it with me. As McLain’s expands around Kansas City, I continue to delight in their sumptuous baked goods, curated kitchen curiosities and inviting ambiance. Stop in or drive through as a treat to yourself. Yum!

Urban Air
My crew loves being set loose to enjoy all that Urban Air has to offer. This indoor amusement park had my kids entertained for hours! I watched them jump, bump, throw, race, climb—and fly! A quick stop for a refreshment and they were at it again. In fact, we recently had a birthday party at Urban Air and everyone loved it. Let there be bouncing!

Messner’s Bee Farm
These are no boring bees! Messner’s has created an incredible line of delicious and intriguing products! Their Farm Shop in Raytown is worth a trip, bursting with helpful staff and an endless array of whimsical products. I highly recommend the lip balm, hot honey, flavored creamed honeys and honey caramels—truth be told I don’t think I could be disappointed, as everything has proved lovely! MessnerBeeFarm.com
Maysama Red Light Therapy Panel
When I first learned about red light therapy, I was skeptical but curious. Once I learned more, I was ready to jump in. Dang, it continues to amaze me! See Gretchen’s article for more insight and resources. Personally, I use an LED red light from Maysama Beauty along with a green rooibos skincare product for skin rejuvenation. Amazing! Also, a few minutes on other spots has alleviated localized pain. Look into it! Maysama.com
Congo Tropicals Organic Dark Chocolate
How excited can a person get about chocolate? Well, let me tell you! I try to sneak in dark chocolate for the family, as it’s healthier. This is the one that had them asking for more! It’s smooth and doesn’t have a bitter bite—you can taste its exceptional cacao bean heritage. This brand brings all kinds of exotic tropical offerings such as coffee, chocolate and fresh produce straight to your doorstep. CongoTropicals.com
