Peyton and I spend a fair amount of time in Illinois each year. Between going to visit family and taking in attractions we are down there almost every other month. This month we checked out the Shedd Aquarium while we were down there. Can you believe, I've gone to Illinois hundreds of times and I have never once in my life been to the Shedd Aquarium? But we did it this last time we were down there! For those of you that have never been, like me, let me tell you a little bit about the Shedd ...
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 Minnesota. But there's one in Schaumberg, Illinois! So when I was planning our next weekend adventure in Chicago I made sure to make some time for a night at Medieval Times! I really was not sure what to expect. I'd looked ...
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 to do. We could just sit and watch the animals all day long. Peyton was pretty excited when I told her we were going to visit the Lincoln Park Zoo. She couldn't wait to see what we would find. The Lincoln Park Zoo is fairly ...

Dirty Red Beans and Rice with Klement’s Sausage
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Klement’s Sausage. All opinions are 100% mine. It's fall time and that means I'm looking to make some hearty, tasty meals that will satisfy everyone. One of my favorite dishes from my childhood is when my step-dad used to make red beans and rice. I used to love those nights! He'd make a big pot of red beans and rice and we'd all gobble it down. Now, I have a little one of my own and I'm going to make her dirty red beans and rice with the ...
The Emoji Movie is Now On DVD!
If you haven't been to the store today, you need to! The Emoji movie just hit the shelves and you can take it home and enjoy a movie night with the kiddos. If you have kids at home, I'm sure they asked you to take them to see The Emoji Movie over the summer. I know Peyton begged and begged me to go. It was a perfect way to spend a steamy afternoon tucked away in the ice cold air-conditioned movie theater. Now the weather is turning and winter is right around the corner. You can pick up a copy ...
