Am I the only one that thinks the mosquitoes are horrible this year? We went camping a few weekends ago and there were swarms of mosquitoes at dusk and dawn. But we also had to deal with them all day long! Bull Frog has developed a 2-in-1 product perfect for all day long. With an SPF 30 combined with DEET-free insect repellent that deters bites for up to 8 hours. That's right, 8 hours! Every morning before we got out of the tent I would apply the Bull Frog to Peyton and myself. We were camping ...

Grill Like a Master with Urban Accents
When it comes to dinner time, everyone looks to me. I am the one who does all the grilling, cooking and baking. Over the years I have learned having fresh spices makes a significant difference, especially when grilling. Urban Accents has a grilling gift set, filled with a variety of rubs and seasonings. As I was going through the spices I noticed the labels. Each label tells you what will go best with it. I have never seen this before. When I first started grilling I would have loved to have ...

Never Scrub a Pan Again
I love to cook. I love to try out new recipes. But I HATE doing dishes. I hate soaking a pan and then scrubbing it and then repeating the process until it's finally clean. Nothing is a bigger demotivator than thinking about the clean up. With Copper Chef you'll never spend the night scrubbing a pan again. NEVER. I've been using the Copper Chef pan for a few weeks now and I am extremely impressed. With other pans, I need to add oil or butter to help prevent the food from sticking to the pan. I ...
Family Fun at Fun Wheel Rentals
Even though summer is coming to a close there is still plenty of time to get out and enjoy this beautiful weather. Fun Wheel Rentals is a great way to spend some time together as a family, get some exercise and take in the sights. Recently, I took my family for a morning excursion around Minnehaha Falls with the help of Fun Wheel Rentals. There are 4 locations in Minneapolis to try out, each by different parks and lakes with scenic paths to travel. We did enjoy our time at Fun Wheel Rentals but ...
Carry Everything in One Trip
Peyton and I went camping a few weekends ago and I wish we would've had the Grillinator utility tote and firewood log carrier. We were at a carry in campsite. Which means you carry EVERYTHING in with you, including the firewood. In the past, when I've purchased firewood from the parks it's always been in a bundle. But at Glendalough State Park the firewood is kept in a huge shed and you portion it out on your own. They have a little contraption to help measure the amount of wood you are taking ...
