  • 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.

    Stopping at Wall Drug is a must if you are in South Dakota. I had never been before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. When we arrived, immediately I felt overwhelmed.

  • 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.

There is No Village

There is a saying, "It takes a village".  It takes a village to raise a kid. It takes a village to get through hard times. Well, there is no village. When times are tough, there is no village to turn to. It hasn't always been like this.  But since COVID, I think people are just burnt out. We've been in what feels like survival mode for so long that we no longer know what it feels like to act like a village and rely on one another. To help one another through tough times. When Peyton was ...

July Ipsy Haul

I have been an Ipsy subscriber for years and I am loving the changes since they merged with BoxyCharm. I feel like the quality of products have always been good but now they are even better! The variety of products to choose from is wonderful too. This month, my Ipsy subscription has a value of $187 but my cost was $28 plus tax and $1.99 shipping. That's a steal! These are all items I will use too. I really don't see myself sharing this month's box with Peyton because I loved everything in ...
