  • 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]

  • 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]

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

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 ...
