    One of my fondest memories growing up was the vacation my grandparents took me on to Sea World. I was about 6 years old and it was my first time to a park with sea animals. Oh boy was I excited! Back in 1983, Sea World was a lot different than it is now. I… [Continue Reading]

  • Crazy Horse

    South Dakota is steeped in history, it’s one of the main reasons I chose to take the kids here for MEA break. After visiting Mount Rushmore  we headed over to Crazy Horse. It’s only about a 15-20 minute drive. Crazy Horse is a privately funded memorial surviving on donations from the public. It’s a shame there is… [Continue Reading]

Blended Butter Pecan Sundae Coffee

I like to enjoy coffee year-round but sometimes in the summer, I don't want to start the day with a hot cup of coffee. It's already hot and muggy, I don't want a warm drink but I still want my coffee. I also like to enjoy flavored coffee.  This month we are enjoying the Sundae Coffee Variety Pack K-cups.   We received a Sundae Coffee 48 count variety pack filled with flavors like – Butter Pecan, Chocolate Swirl, Dulce de Leche, Ice Cream Sandwich, Maple Walnut, Mint Chocolate Chip, Mocha ...

Take the Pledge – Screen Free Family Nights with A&W Root Beer

A&W is celebrating 100 years of sweet family memories by calling on its fans to create new ones.  And I think it's a wonderful idea! Plus we love A&W Root Beer. This summer, Peyton and I are taking the pledge to go screen-free for at least 1 hour on Friday nights and spend it together.  We are also adding a little A&W Root Beer into our Friday night routine as well. When I was growing up, we would spend evenings playing checkers and enjoying A&W Root Beer Floats. I had ...

June Summer Reading for Third Graders

Here are a few of our favorite books for third grade. Peyton just finished up third grade and I've been watching what she was bringing home and reading.

White Some Pig. Humble. Radiant. These are the words in Charlotte's Web, high up in Zuckerman's barn. Charlotte's spiderweb tells of her feelings for ...
