  • 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]

  • Explore Bourbon Country

    Yes, you read that right, let’s explore bourbon country! It’s similar to how people explore wine country. They head to a vineyard, sip some wine, enjoy small bites and make a vacation out of it.

  • A Little Throwback to Sea World

    One of my fondest memories growing up was the vacation my grandparents took me on to Sea World. I was about 6 years old and it was my first time to a park with sea animals. Oh boy was I excited! Back in 1983, Sea World was a lot different than it is now. I… [Continue Reading]

  • 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]

    On our trip through South Dakota, we stumbled across an adorable old fashioned candy store.

If you see a huge metal… [Continue Reading]

Bring Home Hotel Transylvania 3 Today!

Peyton is a huge fan of Hotel Transylvania. It's one of the first movies she really got into when she was little. When Hotel Transylvania 2 was out in theaters she made me go see it twice!! And when Hotel Transylvania 3 was in the theaters we saw it three times! And I'm ok with taking her multiple times because I really enjoy the Hotel Transylvania franchise too. But today, you can bring home Hotel Transylvania 3 on DVD or Blu Ray or even Digital! We were fortunate, Hotel Transylvania 3 and ...

Getting Approved for that New Car

Jeep Ride and Drive Event

Living in the suburbs makes having a car mandatory. We don't really have Ubers, taxis or public transportation around here. So that means, more likely than not, you are going to need to qualify for a car loan.  Before you apply for your car loan there are a few things you should do first. Check your credit score! With all the places you can check your credit score at for free, it's a good idea to pull it before you start looking for a car loan. Know what you are working with instead of ...

Bring Home Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series

I remember growing up and watching Fraggle Rock. We were one of the last homes in the neighborhood to get cable. So the day it was installed I scoured the tv guide and marked off all the time slots that Fraggle Rock was on. I just loved that show! I had seen it at a neighbor's home and couldn't wait to see more. So for the next few months, I would rush home and flip on Fraggle Rock when it would be on. I just loved that show! And guess what?? They are releasing the complete series on 1 box ...

Streamline Your Morning Routine

I'm a busy momma. And mornings are crazy! I have to get myself ready plus get Peyton ready, make lunches, snacks and get us out the door on time. It's a lot to do.  So if there's anything I can do to make my mornings run a little smoother I will.
