  • Explore the Lincoln Park Zoo

    Another place I had never been on all my travel to Illinois was the Lincoln Park Zoo.  It’s a free zoo so I’m not sure why we’ve never visited but I decided we were going to check it out this time. Spending the day at the zoo is one of Peyton’s and my favorite things… [Continue Reading]

  • 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]

  • 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]

  • What’s New at Valleyfair for 2018

    Growing up, the annual trip to Valleyfair in Shakopee, Minnesota was a day we all looked forward to. Every year there is always something new at Valleyfair. We’d usually go once with family and once with school. I have many fond memories of those trips. Now, that I am a mom, I take Peyton to… [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]

  • Find Comfort at the Country Inn and Suites

    On our recent trip to the Chicago area, we chose to stay at the Country Inn in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. We frequently visit the Chicago area and have discovered staying in a suburb is a nice option for our family.

  • 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]

Bring Home Christopher Robin on Blu-Ray

Christopher Robin

Escape to 100 Acre Woods with Winnie Pooh and friends. I think that was every child's dream growing up. Everyone wanted to find Christopher Robin and become his friend in hopes of being invited to tag along on his walks in the woods and hang out with Winnie the Pooh.  That would have been a childhood dream come true! Fast forward a few decades and Christopher Robin has grown up and no longer spends time in the woods. He's kind of forgotten how to have fun and about his childhood pals. ...

The Healthy Teen Cookbook by Remmi Smith

Healthy Teen Cookbook

Peyton is at the age that she wants to learn to cook for herself so I am always on the lookout for recipes that are healthy and easy for a beginner. The Healthy Teen Cookbook fits both of those requirements. While Peyton is not a teen, these recipes are still are a great place to start. To be honest, some of the recipes are a little more complex than I was expecting in a teen cookbook. And some of the textures and flavors in the recipes are a little more complex than I think most kids are ...

Sneak Peak at Bare Minerals Holiday Gift Sets

bareMinerals Holiday Gift SEts 2018

I have been a fan of Bare Minerals for years. I've gone to special events at their Mall of America store, I've been a collector of their kits since college. And the reason I keep coming back is quality, amazing color choices and fun palettes. This year, Bare Minerals has really hit it out of the park with their holiday line up. I love how it's all solar system themed names and the blue packaging with little silver stars is just too cute. We were sent a few sets to try out and share out ...

Bring Home All Things Fancy Nancy Today!

Fancy Nancy

Growing up I used to love reading stories with Fancy Nancy in them. And when Peyton was little I would read her stories with Fancy Nancy in them too. To be honest, Peyton reminded me a little Fancy Nancy. She always had to be fancy. Fancy shoes, fancy dresses and any piece of jewelry she could get her hands on. And as Peyton got older she became even fancier. Now, there is an animated series, Fancy Nancy, for kids to enjoy. So in addition to the books, your child can get their Fancy Nancy ...

The Enchanted Sonata by Heather Dixon Wallwork

The Enchanted Sonata

If you are a fan of the Nutcracker Ballet then you are going to want to keep on reading. Or even if you enjoyed The Nutcracker and the Four Realms I know you'll want to keep reading. The Enchanted Sonata is loosely based off of the classic The Nutcracker ballet. Similar to how The Nutcracker and the Four Realms was loosely based off the ballet but yet had its own unique storyline. Here's the what the book says The Enchanted Sonata is about - Clara Stahlbaum has her future perfectly ...

Easily Organize Your Pet Photos with Pet Photo Saver

Pet Photo Saver

Peyton and I love taking pictures of our pets. I think Peyton takes photos of at least one of the dogs or cats every single day. I mean, we have 2 dogs and 5 cats in this house so there is always someone doing something cute that needs to be captured with my phone. But I also have tons of other pictures on my phone as well. Pictures of things I need to buy, the places we've visited and family pictures of Peyton. Currently, I have over 3,000 photos on my phone. So how can I sort through there and ...
