  • What’s New at Valleyfair for 2018

    Growing up, the annual trip to Valleyfair in Shakopee, Minnesota was a day we all looked forward to. Every year there is always something new at Valleyfair.

  • Custer County Candy Company

    On our trip through South Dakota, we stumbled across an adorable old fashioned candy store. The Custer County Candy Company is located in Custer just a 15 minuted drive from Wind Cave National Park. It’s right off the main drag, tucked back just a little ways off the street. If you see a huge metal… [Continue Reading]

  • Wall Drug

    Stopping at Wall Drug is a must if you are in South Dakota. I had never been before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. When we arrived, immediately I felt overwhelmed. Thank goodness we visited during the off-season, I don’t think I could’ve driven Wall Drug during peak season. It would’ve been way too… [Continue Reading]

  • A Night at Medieval Times

    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]

  • 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]

Lion King Coming to Blu Ray in August

Lion King

I remember the first time I saw The Lion King, I instantly fell in love with Simba, Timon, and Pumba. Who wouldn't? Well, Disney is bringing The Lion King back out of the vault and releasing it on Dvd and Blu Ray August 15th! Now a whole new generation will get to fall in love with Simba and his pals all over again. At the D23 Expo Disney announced adding The Lion King to the Walt Disney Signature Collection!!! And they should! It's one of my favorite films. Though it did come out when I was ...

Descendants 2 Premiers Tonight!

Descendants 2 box art

Grab some popcorn and get ready to catch Descendants 2 tonight! If you're not going to be home, be sure to set your DVR to record. Peyton and I will be traveling to Chicago this afternoon for her to spend a few weeks with her cousins, so, unfortunately, we won't be able to watch it tonight. But I did set the DVR so we can watch it when she returns home! In Descendants, we met Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay - the offsprings of various Villians. They entertained us with amazing dance numbers and ...

Let ACT Kids Toothpaste Help Fight the Brushing Battle

This post and party were sponsored by ACT Kids Toothpaste but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Remember last month, when Peyton had all that dental work done? We have been focusing on better oral health ever since the dentist announced she had 6 cavities. Despite all my efforts, all my nagging, all my constant reminders to brush her teeth didn't work. She didn't brush her teeth. There were nights we would go around and around about it. It's a daily battle, one that parents and kids are ...

Amusement Parks and Nutrisystem

Waiting in line at Valley Fair

Valley Fair, that was my challenge this past weekend. What is Valley Fair? Well, it's an amusement park full of rides and plenty of off plan foods that can tank my nutritional intake for the day.  My goal was to stay on track with my calorie intake in relation to my calorie burn. But how? By journaling my food and using my Fitbit to track my activity. The first thing I learned when I started this journey with Nutrisystem is to journal. Journal everything you put in your mouth. The first few ...

Staying on Track When Ill

Weight Loss and being Ill

A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with a sinus infection. It wasn't too bad at the time, so they put me on a z pack and sent me on my way. Well, 2 weeks went by and I still felt pretty crappy so I made an appointment to go in and see the doctor. Find out, my sinus infection is worse and now I need antibiotics and steroids. I was not thrilled about the steroids. I'm on a weight loss journey and I knew those little pills were going to wreak havoc in my journey. But I also knew I needed to take them ...

Get Lean with The Big Fat Truth

Nutrisystem 9 week comparison

As you guys know, I've been on my weight loss journey for a little over 2 months now. It's been a process. There have been many changes I have had to make in our lifestyle so that when I've reached my goal, I stay healthy. No more late nights with a bowl of whatever is handy to munch on. No more jumbo cups of ice-cold soda to keep me going throughout the day. No more fast food.   We are now a family that drinks water all day long. We now have vegetables with every meal. We now ...
