Ever heard of Mudgy the Moose? Neither had we. That is, we hadn’t heard of him until we started looking up ideas for things to do together as a family in Coeur d’Alene and discovered the lovable book about Mudgy, by Susan Nipp. Mudgy is a (fictional, of course) moose who lives in Coeur d’Alene. […]

Our family recently went on a trip to Couer d’Alene, Idaho and, as is our preference, we poked around on VRBO to find out what type of vacation rental we could score for the occasion.
