In today's crazy fast pace world, families are constantly on the go. I know Peyton and I are always running somewhere. During the week we leave the house by 8 am and do not return until 6 pm. Then I rush to get dinner on the table, make sure Peyton reads every night, attempt to do a little laundry and cleaning around the house and try to fit in a little work before bed. During all that time I'm running around, Peyton and I are really not connecting. She's doing her thing and I am doing my thing. ...

Escape to the Windy City for the Weekend
The Chicago area is one of our favorite destinations. It's only 5 hours from home and full of museums, zoos, attractions and more. It's the perfect change of scenery for the weekend. On our most recent trip, we stayed in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. It's just a short drive outside of Chicago, however, it's centrally located to the attractions and tollway making it the perfect choice for this trip. Our hotel of choice was the Country Inn and Suites in Elk Grove Village. Not only is it ...
Find Comfort at the Country Inn and Suites
On our recent trip to the Chicago area, we chose to stay at the Country Inn in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. We frequently visit the Chicago area and have discovered staying in a suburb is a nice option for our family. It's only a short drive to go into the city but the benefits of staying outside the city far outweigh the drive. First, you don't have to pay for parking in the suburbs! Did you know parking your vehicle at a Chicago hotel can cost over $50 a day? That adds up fast. Country ...
Let Petcurean Help Bring Out the Best in Your Pet
This post was made possible by iConnect and Petcurean. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine. We've raised Finnegan and Matilda since they were just babies. And from the moment we brought them home we have always tried to provide the healthiest meal options for them. Recently I learned about Petcurean, a Canadian based family owned company that creates premium-quality pet food recipes. I decided to give them a try and see what the pups had to ...
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 more time being cramped up in a car. Plus you have to have exact change at some of the tolls because they are automated. Last year I heard about this new app call FastToll. Now, it only works in Illinois so you won't ...
