  • 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]

  • ValleyFair is BACK!!!

    ValleyFair is back! It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to walk through the turnstiles and enjoy a day at ValleyFair. I was extremely excited when I heard they were opening at the end of May. Last year we definitely felt a void in our summer without our beloved ValleyFair. So we could… [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]

  • 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]

  • Wind Cave National Park

    While we were visiting South Dakota I wanted to spend some time in the National Parks. There are a few different parks you can visit while in the Rapid City area.

  • Wall Drug

    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. Thank goodness we visited during the off-season, I don’t think I could’ve driven Wall Drug during peak season. It would’ve been way too… [Continue Reading]

Looking for the Perfect Tween Sandal?

Mens Leather Sandals

Summer is in full swing. The kids are running from house to house and playing with their friends. But we have one rule that everyone at our house has to follow, remove your shoes when you come in from outside. For kids, this can be one of the toughest rules to follow.  They're busy. They are on the go and the last thing they want to do is stop and take off tennis shoes when they come in the house to grab something. Then they have to stop, untie, put them on and tie them up. That can waste some ...

Should You Visit Six Flags Great America Chicago??

Six Flags Great America Chicago

I've been spending part of my summers in Chicago for my whole life. I have family down there and as kids, we used to stay and visit with my cousin for weeks. Now, as an adult, I go down and visit several times a year. In addition to all those little visits, Peyton spends a few weeks in Chicago every summer with family. It's a great way for her to become more independent and give me a break.  But, in all the years I have been visiting Chicago we have never gone to Six Flags Great America. Can you ...

The Perfect Cheesy Snack for On The Go

Moon Cheese Pepper Jack

It's summertime! If your family is anything like mine that means you are out and about enjoying all the summer activities. Taking in festivals, art crawls, maybe doing a little road trip, hiking the local parks and taking in the zoo.  Those are all things we've done this summer. But what do they all have in common? Anyone? They are all on the go with limited access to snacks. And if you have children with you, you need snacks. Preferably ones that travel easily and taste great. Moon Cheese is ...

Is it Time for a Minivan?

Starting a family is an exciting time. But I remember once I found out I was pregnant, one of the first things I considered changing was our vehicle. Sedans can be a little cramped when your start adding car seats and bringing along baby gear.  Maybe it's time to consider a minivan? I know, I used to cringe at the word minivan too. But they are not the same as what our parents drove us around in. Now they have some pretty nice ones.  The Chrysler Pacifica is rated #2 in minivans and has some ...
