Peyton and I will be arriving at Disney World in just a few short weeks! I am so excited I can barely contain myself. Plus, Peyton doesn't know when we are going. She just knows we are going sometime in the next year. Oh, I cannot wait until she finds out. Her face is going to be priceless! I'll try to video tape it for you all but I may get too excited and forget. Anyways, traveling with kids to Disney World is stressful. At least I think it's stressful. I mean, you spend all this money on a ...
New Beauty and the Beast Photos
I remember when Beauty and the Beast came out. I was babysitting, I used to make the kids watch it every time I babysat. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, me or them. Disney is making Beauty and the Beast into a movie, a non-animated movie! Emma Watson has been tapped to play Belle and I think she is just going to be wonderful! Though the movie does not come out until March 2017, Disney did just release some new photos from the set. Are you excited? Here's a first glimpse of what Beauty and the ...
Wild Kratts A Creature Christmas
If you have never seen the Wild Kratts then you are missing out! Peyton loves watching them. Not only do we see Martin and Chris Kratt (real life brothers) in animation but they also appear as themselves. The Kratts and their team teach children an immense amount of information about animals while entertaining them at the same time. Just in time for the holidays, PBS Kids is releasing Wild Kratts A Creature Christmas. In Wild Kratts A Creature Christmas we catch up with the gang while they ...
Custer County Candy Company
On our trip through South Dakota, we stumbled across an adorable old fashioned candy store. The Custer County Candy Company is located in Custer just a 15 minuted drive from Wind Cave National Park. It's right off the main drag, tucked back just a little ways off the street. If you see a huge metal sculpture of two horses stop, the candy store is right behind them. First thing I saw when I walked into the store was a massive case of chocolate! So many chocolate candies and truffles that I ...
Dance with Me
Dance with Me was not at all what I expected. I thought a cute little story about a little girl that loved to dance. But it's really about a little ballerina that lives in a music box! Penny Harrison takes us into the world of the little ballerina. The ballerina lives in a wooden music box and there's a little girl that loves to dance with her. Over the years, the little girl grows up and doesn't dance with the ballerina. One day, the ballerina decides to take off and try and find someone to ...
Safety for Runners
We are a fairly active family. That means, sometimes we are hiking or walking in areas that are not heavily populated or traveled. With the world the way it is today it is always on the back of my mind what if. What if someone tried to run up and take our backpack. Or what if someone tried to mess with us while we are camping, hiking or just getting in our car. It's sad that those thoughts even cross my mind but they do. Sabre Red has made a Pepper Gel that also has UV marking dye. It's very ...
