  • Kona Ice of Stillwater

    Every weekend I look for food trucks that will be in our local area. Since the Minnesota State Fair was canceled and we can’t really travel much, finding and trying out new food trucks every weekend has kinda become our thing. I’ve seen Kona Ice of Stillwater posts in our local mom’s groups and I… [Continue Reading]

  • Dinosaur Park

    If you’ve followed us for a while, you probably know Peyton is obsessed with The Land Before Time. She owns every single movie and episode ever made. Even the one that came out earlier this year! When I found out there was a dinosaur park in Rapid City I knew it was going to be… [Continue Reading]

  • Escape to the Windy City for the Weekend

    The Chicago area is one of our favorite destinations. It’s only 5 hours from home and full of museums, zoos, attractions and more. It’s the perfect change of scenery for the weekend. On our most recent trip, we stayed in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. It’s just a short drive outside of Chicago, however, it’s centrally… [Continue Reading]

  • Toll Roads No Problem with the FastToll App

    Peyton and I are in the Chicago area at least every other month. But I don’t want to invest in an I-Pass because I don’t need it in Minnesota. And Illinois is really the only place that we travel that has toll roads. But stopping at all those toll roads adds on travel time. That’s… [Continue Reading]

  • Mammoth Site

    Peyton has a fascination with dinosaurs. There was one point when she would only watch The Land Before Time and Ice Age movies. She’s better now and watches other shows but when I saw an opportunity to take her to a site where they are excavating Mammoth bones I knew I had to take her.… [Continue Reading]

  • A Day of Play with Great Wolf Lodge Minnesota

    When I first heard Great Wolf Lodge was coming to Minnesota I’ll admit, I was super excited! Great Wolf Lodge is known to have some of the best family fun activities. Did you see I mentioned activities? As in plural. Great Wolf Lodge is much much more than a water park. They have something for… [Continue Reading]

  • 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… [Continue Reading]

  • Minnesota to Kentucky in One Day

    Can it be done? Can one person drive straight through from Minnesota to Bowling Green, Kentucky in one day? It’s nearly a 12-hour drive without any hiccups.  That’s a long drive. But I did it! That’s exactly what I did when I took Peyton to Bowling Green, Kentucky over MEA break. We drove the whole… [Continue Reading]

  • A Night at Medieval Times

    I am always looking for new and unique experiences to take Peyton to. And when I saw Medieval Times, I knew I wanted to take her! How cool would it be to sit in a castle, watch knights jousting and have dinner? It sounded so cool. The only problem is, there is no castle in… [Continue Reading]

  • Wind Cave National Park

    While we were visiting South Dakota I wanted to spend some time in the National Parks. There are a few different parks you can visit while in the Rapid City area. Unfortunately, time flew by and we were only able to fit in one National Park. Wind Cave National Park is located just a short… [Continue Reading]

It's no secret that we are huge fans of The Little Mermaid. Remember when I announced we were going to Disney World a few years ago??

Leprechaun Kisses

Leprechaun Kisses Pinterest Image

These cute Leprechaun Kisses are just what you need to get you in the St. Patrick's Day mood. Who doesn't love St. Patrick's Day? If you don't, then you have not been celebrating it right! Growing up I remember heading to downtown St. Paul with my grandparents and lining up to watch the St. Patrick's Day parade. We always stood in the skyway because let's be real, I live in Minnesota and March can be a very chilly month. So standing in a skyway and looking down at the parade was a wonderful ...

Tips For Winter Driving

I remember the first time I drove in the snow, it was intense. The feel of the ice under the tires or the snow getting caught up in tires is a whole new experience and completely different than summer driving.  My biggest tip for winter driving, have good tires. Check with your dealership to see where the tread is on your tires and if you should replace them before driving this winter. Beyond that, here are a few more tips for driving this winter. Slow and Steady Whenever there is inclement ...

How to Restart Your Career When You’ve Raised Kids

While you’ve been spending years raising children and investing all of your very best into them, they’re going to get increasingly independent as the years go by. Sooner or later, you might find that you have a bit more time on your hands - perhaps they started school a while ago and are old enough to look after themselves for a few hours, or maybe they have grown out of all the supervision a long time ago. Nonetheless, it’s a great idea to refocus a bit and start to work on a ...
