I've been going to My Coffee House on and off for about a year now. The cafe still has the same great toys it always had, but there have been a few changes.
First, the staff was notably more kid-friendly the last time I stopped by. Before, they felt like bored teens in a cafe that just happened to have toys. Now the baristas
Second, the cafe was much more crowded - I'm glad this place is thriving and hope copy-cats spring up, but expect things to get a little hectic. It still doesn't match the mall playgrounds in mid-winter, though.
The rest is about the same - the food choices are great for kids, the bathrooms need toilets with lids to keep kids from sticking their hands in the toilet water, the toys are great but possibly dangerous for younger kids, the coffee is mediocre and only slightly better than Starbucks, and overall the place has some "rough edges". However, it tops my list for indoor places to hang out and relax while the kids have fun even though it takes an hour to get to for us.
On the other hand, I'm expecting more places like this to show up soon - this place is so crowded, there is obviously a market for this special family-friendly type of cafe. There is definitely still room to improve, and I am sure someone will improve.

I'm pregnant with twins. This means:
a. Trim that budget.
b. Find nice maternity clothes that will last & buy large.
Motherhood Maternity can't help with (a), but is great for (b).
My sister has been a long-time fan of Motherhood Maternity, so when she found out we were having twins she immediately took me shopping here. I bought two pairs of maternity pants - one that fit perfectly during that uncomfortable "My old clothes don't fit and my pregnancy clothes are too big!" stage that I wore for a week straight and which will fit for a good while longer, and another *adorable* pinstripe pair to grow into. The sales people were able to help me pick out an adjustable maternity/nursing bra, and helped me find good work pants as well. Some brands even had petite sizes, which makes my life (as a short person) much easier. I hate hemming!
I can't afford to buy my entire wardrobe here - my bill was about $100 from this small spree, and I will only be wearing these clothes for a small part of my life. Everything else I buy will probably be second-hand. However, if you're looking for a good place to get stylish maternity wear, this tops my list.
