Did you know National Get Outdoors Day is coming up? Peyton and I love to spend time outside. I'm actually planning out our camping trips for the summer now. But if spending a weekend, outside, in a tent sounds a little much keep reading for ways to get your family outdoors. As kids it was easy for us to spend time outdoors – to go barefoot in the grass, play in the mud, explore the wilderness. As we get older we find ourselves struggling to find the time to do the things we once loved. As ...
Zootopia is Out on DVD
Wohoo!! Zootopia was released today on DVD, Blue Ray and Digital. This morning, I woke Peyton up early and we headed to Target. We were the first ones there! The young man was still stocking the shelves with Zootopia copies and we bought the first one this morning at our local Target. With our Target special edition Zootopia in hand, we headed to the checkout and then off to my office to spend the day. Peyton has been waiting so patiently for Zootopia to come out. She saw it THREE times in ...
Madison’s Place First All-Inclusive Park
Any family with a child has been to a park. If your child has a disability you quickly notice there is not much your child can enjoy.

Pie Five Pizza
Peyton is in the office with me this week and I'm trying to make it as fun as possible. One of my favorite places to go for lunch is Pie Five Pizza. We've only had one in Woodbury for a few months so it's relatively new for us. Peyton rarely gets to go out to lunch so today I decided to make it special by letting her go to Pie Five Pizza. Pie Five Pizza is like the Chipotle for pizza. You get to walk through a line and choose your crust, sauce, toppings and meats. Then they bake it right there. ...

Peyton is out of school for a few days so we are spending lots and lots of time together. I decided we are taking these few days to try out some new eats around town.

We were ...
Alice Through the Looking Glass
Peyton and I love going to the movies. When Peyton heard there was going to be a new Alice movie she wouldn't stop begging me to take her to Alice Through the Looking Glass . I had my reservations. I never did let Peyton see Alice in Wonderland because I knew the Jabberwocky would be too much for her. But I watched the trailers for Alice Through the Looking Glass and was positive there was no Jabberwocky. After talking with Peyton I found out what the real draw was for her, the baby ...
