  • 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]

  • 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.

  • 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]

5 Ways to Prevent Septic Systems Disaster this Summer

Roto Rooter Septic Tank Treatment

We live in a suburb of the Twin Cities where everyone has well water and a septic system. Even though I literally live 15 minutes from St. Paul I do not have city water and sewer. It has its perks, like no water bill from the city and no one ripping up our streets to fix sewer lines. But it can also have its drawbacks. And if you do not care for your septic system it can be a costly nightmare. Scheduled Maintenace Here in our city, we are required to get our septic system pumped every 3 ...

3 Ways to Use a Yoga Ball

S’Mores Supplies at Your Fingertips

S'mores Caddy

We love to camp! But being a single parent I know the struggle of camping solo with littles. It can be a challenge. With one adult, organization is key.  You do not want to make a million trips to the car to get what you need.  And you can't keep the food out at your campsite or you will attract animals. The Smores Caddy by Sumpri helps with keeping your S'mores supplies ready and at your fingertips. The caddy looks a lot like a tackle box but this box is not made to hold fishing tackle.  In ...

A Unicorn Room Makeover

Unicorn Bedding

Unicorns are all the rage right now.  I think nearly every birthday party that I have been to or thrown in the last 6 months have all been unicorn themed.

Peyton's bedroom is ready for a little makeover and it looks like tonight is the night she is going to get it. The easiest thing to change out is her bedding. I keep the rest of the ...
