What if I told you it costs less to spend two full VIP days at @Silver Dollar City than it does just to fly a family of four to Orlando to see “The Mouse”? [AD] Here’s what I mean by VIP experience: -Right now during the summer, they’re offering TWO days of tickets for the price of one (such a good deal, grab those tickets) -Riding the free tram straight to the front entrance (this would normally cost $30 a day at other parks, but not at Silver Dollar City) -Trailblazer passes that let you skip the lines -Tasting passports, which let you try the festival foods around the park (there’s a reason Silver Dollar City’s food has groupies, it’s delicious) Two days of rides, shows, the best food, and memories. All at a lower cost than just flying our family to Orlando with checked bags and seat picks. All at America’s #1 theme park! #kelsewhatelse #midwesternmom #ad #silverdollarcity #midwesterntravel #familytraveltips #midwestdestinations

Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them just drip dry their hands because they know a 2-year-old just walked into the public restroom and that the sound of the automatic hand dryer is a one-way ticket to meltdown City. And the meltdown makes so much sense after a study on how the loud decibels of hand dryers and bathrooms are beyond a comfortable range for toddlers. In fact, they're so loud, that they cause pain to young children and with long-term exposure, are loud enough to cause hearing loss 😱. That compounded with the fact that hand dryers are known bacteria spreaders and toddlers are perfectly positioned for that poop and disease bacteria to go straight into their eyes, nose and mouth, I stay away from them myself. I don't expect people to change their behavior for me, and never once have I thought "wow I can't believe they are drying their hands!" People have every right to have dry hands! I'm sure I didn't notice until I had a kid myself, but now I make it a point to check for little kids before I activate any hand dryers 🕵️‍♀️ If you are a person who also does this, you don't have to, but you do it anyway to be kind. THANK YOU. . . . . . . #kelsewhatelse #momtips #momssupportingmoms #parenting #parentinginpublic #midwesternmom #toddlermeltdown #kansascity

As a "Kelsey Taylor" (my middle name), The weirdest side effect of this whole Travis Kelce/Taylor Swift plotline, is that I think people are talking to me in public. And every time they are in the news cycle, (like getting engaged, congratulations! ) I feel like everybody is talking about ME when I'm in public. And especially because people talk about the Chiefs, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift all loudly and with passion. For the most part, it is me picking up on "Kelce" And thinking that people are talking to me, but there have been a couple of times where people have ordered their sentences so that Kelce and Taylor Are right next to each other, and when that happens, I am totally freaked out that someone is calling me out with my middle name 😅 I think all Taylors, Kelsey's, and Chelsea's in Kansas City are probably going through the same thing right now. . . . . #kelsewhatelse #chiefs #kansascitychiefs #travisandtaylor #kansascityinfluencer

I just pushed the confusion down and forgot about it for over a decade until I was having a conversation in my early 30s. I told someone I was from Branson and they said, " we didn't do typical Branson things but we would drive hours just to go to that outlet mall!" Me: WHY? WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE OUTLET MALL? And that is when I found out what an outlet mall is. #kelsewhatelse #midwesternmom #bransonmo

How are you teaching your kids to be a good friend? Originally Posted this one year ago and playing this game with my sons has helped so much! You don’t have to lie or pretend to like something you don’t, but it’s also not necessary to loudly declare our dislike for someone else’s favorite things, especially when we’re trying to build friendships. My son is six, and I wish we’d started practicing this earlier, around the time his logic skills began developing at age four. Social and conversational skills (the kind we need to make friends and build relationships) aren’t always innate. They can be taught, practiced, and refined. One important lesson I want to instill with my kids: If you want to have quality friendships, you need to *be* a quality friend. Part of that means supporting your friends’ interests, even if they’re not your personal favorites. If I had daughters, I’d practice this with them, too. But as a mom to sons, I’m especially mindful of this, since research shows that men often struggle more with making and maintaining friendships. I see how nourishing my female friendships are, and I’m grateful for the skills I’ve learned to build and sustain those relationships. I want my sons to develop similar skills so they can experience the same kind of connection. Right now, we’re working on shifting their knee-jerk responses. When they hear about something they’re not into, their instinct is often to say, “Well, I don’t like that.” For little kids, this seems like an honest and reasonable response, not a rude one. But instead, we’re encouraging them to pause, ask thoughtful questions, and connect what they’re hearing to what they already know. It’s about showing interest in others, even when their interests don’t match ours. What about you?

We forget that we can teach the art of conversation. It’s a skill, and like any skill, it can be practiced. Knowing how to hold a real conversation helps kids make friends, build confidence, and connect with others. It’s how we help ourselves be seen and get our needs met. And as adults, it’s a skill that can open doors, create opportunities, and even land jobs. We teach our kids how to hold a good conversation with the “Info Dump” game. (I recognize the irony of the name! I mostly called it this because it's a really kid-friendly name and they get the visual of dumping out the information, but I also wanted to kind of realign The meaning ) How we play: • Choose a letter at random • Pick a subject that starts with that letter • Go around the table taking turns “dumping” one nugget of information we know about that subject Subjects can be serious or silly. For example: Grandma, Taylor Swift, The Oregon Trail, rivers, sharks, and cotton candy. We often pick topics tied to shared family moments so that the information we share is also memories. A lot of the time we play to their strengths and pick a subject they already know a lot about, especially when we’re just starting the game. But we also choose topics they don’t know much about, because it gives them a chance to listen, learn, and practice asking good questions. Conversationalists are nimble. They can come up with something to say, even about random topics, and they learn how to prioritize and share the right information at the right time. They also know when to stop talking. They share the floor, take turns, and listen actively. And if someone doesn’t have a fact to share, we teach them to stay engaged by asking thoughtful questions to keep the conversation going. The next step in this game, which isn’t shown in the video, is adding on to each other’s facts by asking follow-up questions or adding more details. This takes the conversation deeper and turns it into a real back-and-forth. Asking good questions is the most important part of a conversation, that's why I have other games that tackle that skill too! #kelsewhatelse #howtotalktolittlekids #midwestmom #bodylanguagegame

I don't want to remind my kids to brush their teeth every morning. (AD) I don't want to be the one reminding them to put their plates by the sink, put their shoes on, and grab their coat. We are working on the kids taking full responsibility for their own daily routines and the @Skylight Frame calendar "Task" feature is making handing over task ownership incredibly easy for me, and very fulfilling for the kids because they get to interact with the calendar to check off each task and then at the end of the list, they get a little confetti celebration! We use the Task lists on the Skylight Calendar in the morning to get ready for school, we use it in the afternoon to unpack from school, and we use it at night to close down the house before bedtime!  The Skylight Calendar is single-handedly taking the pressure off of us and is giving the responsibility to our kids!  #kelsewhatelse #skylightmax #skylightpartner #howtotalktolittlekids

Our first instinct as parents is usually to explain. We want to help them understand. So we say things like, “Mommy doesn’t control the thunder. The clouds do.” It feels helpful. But that kind of logic doesn’t land with a 3-year-old's brain. They just aren’t developmentally ready for abstract reasoning yet. So instead of explaining, I showed him. I took his request seriously. We tried saying, “Please stop, thunder.” We tried clapping. We tried again. Then I asked, “What do YOU think we should do?” I gave him the chance to do his own problem solving. And when that still didn’t work, I modeled what it looks like to process failure and move on to a different kind of solution, a solution we are in control of, like covering our ears or booming back when the thunder booms at us. This approach takes his request seriously because it IS serious to him. It makes him feel heard and validated (which isn’t that what we all want?). This approach puts us on the same team. I want what he wants. I’m not holding him back or at fault here. This approach encourages him to find solutions to his own problems. I’m modeling creative problem solving, and also how to handle not getting what we want. And I'm using the opportunity to help build his ability to understand logic and reasoning. I’m helping him focus on what we can control. We can’t stop the thunder, but there’s more than one way to solve our problems. In just two minutes of conversation, the situation is diffused. We went from stressed to silly. We’re building the skills he’ll need to think creatively, take responsibility, and when things don’t go his way, stay focused on what he can control. . . #kelsewhatelse #midwesternmom #howtotalktolittlekids #bodylanguagegame

They say never meet your heroes. Yesterday I was minding my own business, shopping through the aisles and I see a dedicated stand of easy cheese and my first thought was " what a throwback!" And then my second thought was " wait... This is the dog food aisle" 😳 I asked my husband if he ever ate easy cheese growing up and he said "no" he didn't, and now I'm questioning everything about my childhood. Surely I was not the only one who enjoyed the delicacy of easy cheese swirled onto a salty Ritz cracker because honestly I don't think anything has hit quite like that has. THIS WAS FOR HUMANS RIGHT? So then I brought it to my stories, and people quickly pointed out that "of course it was for humans because it was in the Goofy movie!" and then they would follow up 10 minutes later " oh shoot, the Goofy movie is ...dogs". You know... I don't care if dogs like it too, I like peanut butter and my dog likes peanut butter. Gosh dang it. I'm still buying the cheese when I'm feeling nostalgic! #kelsewhatelse #midwestmom #millennial

Does this exist? I want a minimal screen, with actual buttons, not a touchscreen, A kid-safe MP3 player that can run the music, audiobook, and podcast apps we already pay for: Spotify, YouTube Music, Audible, Libby, etc. that can't access the internet except when the adult downloads safe content. Why the current screen-free kid players don’t work for us (and let it be noted, I do love these for my 3-year-old, just not for my 6-year-old who is moving into heavier audiobook and podcast use): 1. They are big. Even the "minis" are too big. I want something iPod-sized so we can travel with it easily. 2. I don’t want to carry around a bunch of cards or figurines. 2a. I know some let you control playback from your phone like a Bluetooth speaker, but I want my son to be able to listen to his own stuff while I listen to mine. That setup doesn’t work for us. 3. I don’t want to pay extra to purchase their music or audiobooks. I want to use the services we’re already paying for. 3a. Yes, I know you can make your own playlists, but manually sourcing every single song and audiobook download takes more time than I have. My son goes through stories way too fast. 4. I want to use the music, audiobook, and podcast apps we already pay for. Not a closed system. (Ideally this magic MP3 player would be required to sync so that the music and book licenses stay good) Why jailbreaking a phone doesn’t work for us: 1. iPhones can’t truly be locked down in a way that still lets you use multiple apps. 2. Android can be more locked down, and that’s probably what we’ll end up doing. But I don’t like the idea of him using a phone, even if it’s just as an MP3 player. I don’t want it to look like a phone. I don’t want it to feel like a phone. I don’t want him thinking he has a phone or other kids thinking he has a phone. Kids shouldn’t have phones. I want something with buttons. I want something he can navigate without a full touchscreen. I want an audiobook player that feels like a tool, not a device designed to trap his attention. I can't be the only parent who wants this. #kelsewhatelse #midwesternmom #travelwithkids

Recipe⬇️ -ripe beef steak tomato sliced 1 inch - Salt the tomatoes on both sides and then let it sit for 10 minutes. -Top the tomato slices with a tablespoon of stracciatella, also known as the soft cheese inside of a burrata ball. You can find a burrata or the stracciatella at some grocery stores and also at Aldi and Trader Joe's. -Top that with balsamic reduction (they use balsamic pearls at the restaurant, but they are expensive, so I just do balsamic reduction). -Top that with a little more flaky salt and some fresh basil if you have it and enjoy. My guests will be enjoying this appetizer all summer long because I will be enjoying it all summer long! #kelsewhatelse #summerappetizer #midwesternmom

We’re just five friends who met online, live all over the country, and have talked every day for a year. Now we’ve dragged our spouses into a five-day group trip where we all stay in one house together. It should all be fine, right? Maybe we shouldn’t let them check the Instagram pages before the trip.

Is this fixable or did I kill our washing machine ? Also...Does this count as starching my clothes? I blame this entire thing on jet lag. But the English teacher in me sees a metaphor in bringing home, authentic, Italian pasta and accidentally "cooking" it in my monstrous American size laundry machine 🫠 #kelsewhatelse #midwesternmom #kansascityinfluencer #usavsitaly

Is this fixable or did I kill our washing machine ? Also...Does this count as starching my clothes? I blame this entire thing on jet lag. But the English teacher in me sees a metaphor in bringing home, authentic, Italian pasta and accidentally "cooking" it in my monstrous American size laundry machine 🫠 #kelsewhatelse #midwesternmom #kansascityinfluencer #usavsitaly
#2: How to Plan a Group Trip Series Our friend group of five families (16 people) just pitched our vacation presentations to each other and voted and chose our next yearly group trip location and house! (If you want to see how we do that process, check out my video from a couple days ago!). The problem is, there are five families and six bedrooms in this house. The minimum bedroom count we were looking for was five which means that this booking has a bonus bedroom. How do we decide who gets that bedroom? What's fair? How much is an extra bedroom worth? At first I thought the easy answer was to divide the price by six and charge a family for two rooms, but it turns out that the extra room would cost $800 and I know not a single family in our group is willing to pay $800 for a bonus room. But we don't want the room to go to waste. So what do we do? My idea: Silent bidding war! Each family submits a price they are willing to pay for the room without seeing the other families' dollar amounts. Whoever submits the highest amount, wins the room. And the rest of the group splits the money. It's a quick solution and one that I think is fair. What do you think? What would you do? And what other questions do you have about group trip planning? . . . . . #kelsewhatelse #grouptravel #travelplanning #grouptravelplanning #travelwithkids #travelingwithkids #familytravel #midwesternmom #kansascity #momtips

Planning a group trip series #3 I've had a lot of people ask how to fairly split a group price on a house. So here is a thought process video of what it would take to "fairly split" a house, using my group's house as an example. Like I said in the video, this is not what we do, but using it as an example, You can see that being completely equal means it might get complicated. Up until this week I believed that the fairest way to split the cost of a rental home between families was to pay per room. But recently a friend of mine mentioned that when you're splitting it per room, you're not taking into account what the house fee is paying for, the entire rest of the house! So charging one family two times for the entire rest of the house isn't fair either. You could pay per person, but what if a family of six is all in one room, but a family of four divides themselves into two groups. So that doesn't really work either. I think the only truly fair way to do it, is to divide the house fee by the number of families. And then if a family wants an extra room, you ballpark, what percentage of the house that room/bathroom is and then subtract that charge from everybody else's fees? WHEW THAT'S COMPLICATED. This is not the method that my group chooses to do, but I guess technically it could work and might be a good starting point in discussions of a fair price. I wish someone would make a calculator where you could put in an Airbnb listing, put in how many families /rooms etc and it would spit out the answer for us! What do you think? What would you do? And what other questions do you have about group trip planning? . . . . . #kelsewhatelse #grouptravel #travelplanning #grouptravelplanning #travelwithkids #travelingwithkids #familytravel #midwesternmom #kansascity #momtips

Thinking about robbing a toddler's house? Good luck with that one. Gates, extra locks, monitors, more gates, cabinet latches, toilet latches, door knob latches, did I say gates? Not to mention the spilled Legos and motion activated toys. Even people invited over to my house can't manage to move through the whole thing by themselves because somehow we have five completely different baby gates that are open five completely different ways. 😅 . . . . . . #kelsewhatelse #momhumor #toddlers #babyproofing #momtips #kansascity #midwesternmom

Here’s a REALITY CHECK ⬇️ in case you’re thinking, “My kids would never do that 😩” My question is: would you have liked to spend your time this way? My kids do this because my husband and I are obsessed with museums (counting zoos too!). We visit them constantly. We watch museum documentaries. They love what we love because it’s a big way we show our love and attention. You know what my kids would probably never do? Spend 3 hours building a beautiful craft project. Or spend 3 hours honing their skill at a sport. Or spend hours tending to and growing a garden, going on long hikes, or baking for hours in the kitchen etc All of those things are just as worthy pursuits as what my kids did this afternoon, but they aren’t things my husband and I are passionate about. So naturally, my kids haven’t had as much exposure, and it’s not how they’re going to play. Your kids are doing their own version of this that’s right for your family. And if they’re not yet, figure out what that thing is, lean in, and create opportunities. We’ve also worked really hard over the past couple of years to build up their independent play, critical thinking, and creativity . It used to look like 1 minute of Independent plan, then five minutes, then fifteen, and eventually thirty etc. We’ve used things like A designated daily quiet play time and good old 90s “go figure out something to do” parenting To help build this skill. And no matter how old your kids are, it's never too late to start learning a new skill. And just to be clear, my three-year-old never could have done this by himself. This worked because my six-year-old led the way. So if you’ve got even younger kids, don’t stress thinking yours should be doing this for 90 minutes. Even I was amazed they stayed this into it. I don’t know if it’s an age thing or just the right combination of interest and freedom, but it reminded me that my job is to create more opportunities for them to dive into what excites them and then get myself out of the way. #kelsewhatelse #midwesternmom #howtotalktolittlekids #creativeplay
