It's back! It's that time of year. Fall is in the air! At least here in Minnesota, it feels like it. The weather is cooler and the leaves are starting to turn. I have a feeling it's going to be an early winter. And the key indicator that fall is here, Pink Pumpkin is available! That's right, it only comes ones a year and they only make so many so be sure to grab a case or two or six of Pink Pumpkin K cups before the sellout. Because once they are gone you won't be able to order them again until ...
Can a Dealership Do an Oil Change?
Can the car dealership I bought my car at do my oil changes? Yes, yes it can! Most likely, the dealership you bought your vehicle at can do all your routine maintenance as well as repairs. Did you know they can even change your tires? They can. And they carry the tires that are suggested by the manufacturer for your vehicle. There are many benefits to seeing one service station for all your cars needs. I do it for my vehicle. Where I bought it, is where I get all my service work done. Did you ...
The Great Pumpkin Fest at Valley Fair
Growing up in Minnesota meant spending summers at Valley Fair. We would usually go with school and then my dad would take us at least once during the summer. They were some of the best memories of my childhood. But I don't remember them being open in the fall back then. Now, they are! And there are two different events that take place - The Great Pumpkin Fest and Valley Scare. Peyton and I took in the Great Pumpkin Fest and are going to share what we thought. So, first off, it's fall people. ...
When Should I Get New Tires for My Car?
When should I get new tires for my car? This is a question I think about every year, usually in the fall. Currently, my lovely Dodge Journey has a little over 30k in miles on it. The tires are the ones I bought the car with, you know, the factory ones that are not supposed to last very long. I swear they all wear out by 35k. So guess what? I'm getting new tires before winter hits. I always take my Journey to the dealership for repairs and maintenance. It's just easier to have it done all in ...
Discover O’Brien’s Public House
One of my favorite things to do when we travel is trying out new restaurants. New, local restaurants that the locals like to eat at. Very rarely will you ever see us post about a chain. So this past weekend while we were in Shakopee, Minnesota we tried out O'Brien's Public House. It's located in downtown Shakopee with plenty of parking and easy access to the main roads. When we found out this was where the locals like to eat I knew we had to have dinner there. With one step inside, I could ...
Fall Family Fun at Sever’s Fall Festival
Can you believe that I have lived in Minnesota all my life and I have never been to a corn maze? I even lived in Shakopee, for a few years, home to one of the best family corn mazes around. And yet, I had never been! Well, this year is the year I am going to one. And I'm bringing Peyton with me, she has never been to one either! Sever's Fall Festival is not your typical maze. Every year they have a theme, this year its Dive Under the Sea. That theme dictates what the maze is going to look ...
