I like to buy local. I like to teach my daughter about the farm to table movement and one way to do that is buying products made locally. Typically, I buy our honey at farmer markets, but with winter coming up that will not be a possibility much longer. Then I learned about Rice's Lucky Clover Honey. It's the next best thing to getting the honey directly from the farmer! Rice's Clover Honey is based out of Colorado but has built relationships with bee farmers all over the country. They strive ...
New Disney Store at Ridgedale Mall
Today Disney opened a NEW Disney Store at Ridgedale Mall! Can you believe it? We desperately needed another one here in the Twin Cities. The only one we had (until this morning at 10 am!) was the Mall of America. And it was ALWAYS packed and picked over. Peyton and I were lucky to get a personal tour of the new store. I must say it was pretty neat. The amount of detail that goes into a store just amazes me. Did you know they customized the walls to highlight historical sites from the ...
Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker is Coming to Minneapolis!

Zootopia – A City Like No Other
Let's see a raise of hands for those excited for Zootopia?! I know my daughter and I are looking forward to seeing it. A world where animals talk and behave like humans but the animal kingdom hierarchy still exist. How interesting would that be? Zootopia is a modern mammal metropolis. It's a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what ...
My Ipsy September Bag
Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. Every month when that little pink envelope arrives in my mail box I get super excited! It's the best mail! I never know what is going to be inside but every month I love everything they send me. It's my little $10 a month treat to myself. So what was in Septembers bag? Well it started off with this really fabulous bronze textured bag! I really loved the shimmer of the fabric and size of the bag. But what was inside was even ...
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
Last year I had the joy of taking my daughter to Disney World for her first time. I had chosen the fall time for the weather, food and wine festival and Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween Party. I wanted to take it all in while we were there. Disney World during the holidays is a magical and exciting time. They really go all out with the decorations. Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween Party is a hard ticket event. That means you need to buy a special ticket for it. A regular park ticket is not ...
