  • 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]

  • 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]

Getting Organized for Fall

Bamboo Shoe Organizer

School is in full swing. I swear we are constantly running from one activity or another. And we just had conferences! I cannot believe we are already halfway through the first semester. And the busier we get the more organized I need to be to make our house run smoothly. One point of stress and contention in the morning is finding shoes to put on so we can head out the door. On time.  A shoe rack or station would really help our mornings run smoother. But it has to look nice too. That's why I'm ...

Why Should I Rotate My Tires?

Why should I rotate my tires? I wonder this, especially when I'm paying the bill for my oil change at the dealership. Just how important is it, really? It's really important if you want your vehicle to be at it's best and want to get the maximum life out your tires. You see, tires tend to wear unevenly.  Your front tires tend to wear on the outside edges because every time you take a corner the tire leans. The rear tires tend to follow the front tires, so they usually wear more evenly. So, if ...

English Muffins Are More Than Breakfast Staples

This is a sponsored blog; while the views expressed here were genuinely mine, consideration was paid to me by Bays English Muffins to review this product. Growing up, I remember starting my day with a warm, toasted Bays English Muffin and a glass of juice along with my half of banana. That was a typical breakfast for our household. Now, fast forward a few decades and I have a little one of my own. But I'm also a single momma so I am always looking for tasty meal options with ingredients that ...

Save Money on Repairs at Your Car Dealership

Ok, I know this sounds a little crazy, but did you know they actually have coupons you can use at most dealerships to get routine maintenance or repairs done on your vehicle? There is, but you need to know where to look. I'll be honest, I had no clue that there were coupons I could use on car repairs and maintenance until my sales person told me.
