If you’re in Newton…you have to stop at the Healthy Baby Boutique. The cutest shop ever & an awesome selection of baby & kid’s items. Most are organic & all are baby-friendly/healthy. The store also offers the largest selection of cloth diapers in the state of Kansas. FUN store!! Also has a nice play area for the kids in the back. The store is in the back of Prarie Harvest & all of those linked stores. You should do a feature on the store!!!!

Do stop by Kauffman Museum at 27th and North Main Streets! The AAA Tourbook has listed KM as a “gem attraction.” KM shows the real stuff–from our prairie reconstruction to an authentic log cabin to our “Save America’s Treasures” collection of Mennonite immigrant furniture. And mark your calendar for the last Saturday of January when we Celebrate Kansas Day! from 1:30-4:30 with entertainment, demonstrators, make-it-and-take-it crafts, flea market and bake sale. This free community event is supported by a Community Development Grant from the City of North Newton. Everyone is welcome!

Don’t forget Druber’s Donut Shop! Always full of students at night as they’re open overnight making donuts. The peanut butter twist is to DIE for. And Martin & Marilyn are pretty great folks!

A big yes to Ten Thousand Villages. Some may remember their shop in the Farm & Art Market in Old Town before it became the Museum of Random Stuff. It’s a great place to shop for gifts (MIL is getting candle holders from them this year), and, uh, grandma’s ashes are totally in a fancy carved wooden box we got there.

And the Breadbasket’s German buffet keeps me fat and happy. They don’t make their vrenika quite the same as my family, but it’s still so, so good. Oh, and the sausage. Mmmmmm.
