  • Mammoth Site

    Peyton has a fascination with dinosaurs. There was one point when she would only watch The Land Before Time and Ice Age movies. She’s better now and watches other shows but when I saw an opportunity to take her to a site where they are excavating Mammoth bones I knew I had to take her.… [Continue Reading]

  • Christmas Village

    It’s always Christmas time at Christmas Village in Rapid City, South Dakota. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. I love decorating our tree, the home and our walkway. It’s something Peyton and I have been doing together since the day she was born. Granted, when she was a baby she sat and watched. But… [Continue Reading]

    On our recent trip to the Chicago area, we chose to stay at the Country Inn in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.

It’s only a short drive to go into the city but the benefits of staying… [Continue Reading]

  • Explore the Lincoln Park Zoo

    Another place I had never been on all my travel to Illinois was the Lincoln Park Zoo.  It’s a free zoo so I’m not sure why we’ve never visited but I decided we were going to check it out this time. Spending the day at the zoo is one of Peyton’s and my favorite things… [Continue Reading]

  • A Day of Play with Great Wolf Lodge Minnesota

    When I first heard Great Wolf Lodge was coming to Minnesota I’ll admit, I was super excited! Great Wolf Lodge is known to have some of the best family fun activities. Did you see I mentioned activities? As in plural. Great Wolf Lodge is much much more than a water park. They have something for… [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]

Conquer Motion Sickness with Sea-Band

Sea-Band Mama

I had never really experienced any sort of motion sickness before I got pregnant. I could go on any rollercoaster, take road trips and do anything I wanted. Never felt sick to my stomach. Then Peyton arrived. She let her presence be announced by the worse morning sickness ever. It was like she had a little calendar and at 6 weeks it started. At first, I thought it was a stomach virus. I took ginger and drank lots of ginger ale and 7-up. But it kept getting worse, not better. A week later I ...

Family Game Night: Lumpy Cubes Hero Edition

Lumpy Cubes Hero Edition

We do family game night once a week in our house. Sometimes more often if my nephews are over to visit. We love trying out new games. The kids have a great time and I like that they are not sitting in front of a screen. Tonight, one of the games we are playing is Lumpy Cubes Hero Edition. I'd never played before so I was not sure what to expect. The basics - This game is intended for ages 6 years old and up and designed for 1-4 players. I have a 4-year-old (almost 5) and a 7-year-old playing ...

Secure Your Home with CUJO

CUJO

The reviewer has been compensated in the form product/service for free. It's back to school time and Peyton just got her first computer to help her with homework! But that also means she will on the internet for school and I know she'll be on there playing games. Now, I could change the wi-fi password whenever she is grounded or doesn't do what she is supposed to. But let's be honest, that's a pain. At least I think it is. That's why I'm installing CUJO. When Peyton has had enough screen time ...

Family Game Night: Ninja Squirrels

Ninja Squirrels by Rooster Fin Games

If you are looking to add a new game to your game closet then keep on reading. Tonight we played Ninja Squirrels by Rooster Fin Games and it was a HUGE hit! From little Jamison (4 years old) to my mom (whose age shall remain a mystery) everyone enjoyed themselves. The name Ninja Squirrels really had me puzzled but when we opened the box I could see there were some tracks, a whole bunch of colored half acorns and some cards. I was pretty baffled. Then I pulled out the rules to find some ...

Family Game Night: Bouncing Bots

Bouncing Bots by Rooster Fin

We are trying out another new game, Bouncing Bots by Rooster Fin. Peyton was pretty excited to get her hands on this one. You get to toss the bots so anything that she can get away with throwing inside the house sounded like a good time to her! Bouncing Bots is geared towards kids 6 years old and up and designed for 1 to 4 players. Inside the box you'll find 2 targets, 8 bouncing bots, and the rules. I'll admit, this game took me a little while to get the hang of. And I was far from ...
