    Peyton has a fascination with dinosaurs. There was one point when she would only watch The Land Before Time and Ice Age movies.

    I am always looking for new and unique experiences to take Peyton to. And when I saw Medieval Times, I knew I wanted to take her! How cool would it be to sit in a castle, watch knights jousting and have dinner? It sounded so cool. The only problem is, there is no castle in… [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

Yoga Ball

After the first of the year, you went out and bought some exercise equipment. Your New Years resolution was to get in shape and shed some inches.

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 in love with them so much that I made her a huge 7 layer unicorn cake for her birthday! So when I saw this unicorn bedding I knew we had to have it. 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 ...
