  • 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.

Unforgettable

Unforgettable

Are you looking for a thriller to see this weekend? I saw Unforgettable and loved it. Yes, the storyline has been done before. But who cares? These actors did a great job giving the story life with a twist all their own.  The way I judge a movie is - Did I lose myself in it? Did I feel invested in the characters? Did I want to scream at the screen and give advice? Yes, Yes and Yes. If I can answer yes to those questions then I feel it is a good movie and something I would suggest my friends and ...

Ditch The Oil With These Grease-Free Cooking Tips

Crispy Chicken with Mashed Potato and Spicy Collard Greens Blue Apron

We are often told that cooking ourselves is a lot healthier than relying on ready meals and takeaways. And that’s all because we can control the amount of salt and sugar that goes into our own meals. However, there is often one part of cooking that we forget to consider, which often means our home-cooked food isn’t as healthy as we’d like to think. And that is when it comes to using oil. Most of us forget to think about how we can cut down on the amount of oil we use in cooking. Hopefully, all ...

A Look Back of My First Week on Nutrisystem

Nutrisystem Turbo Takeoff

Well, I did it. I survived my first week on Nutrisystem. Well, it really was my Turbo Week on Nutrisystem. Let me tell you, it can be a rough time. That Turbo Week is no joke.

And then I looked at how I ended up in those moments of feeling like I was going to go on a huge calorie fest and destroy all my hard work. You know what? ...

Tweens and Car Seat Safety

Seat Belt Safety

It was easy to make sure Peyton was in a seatbelt when she was younger. The 5 point harness car seats made it easy to know she was secure. Now that she's bigger it's still important to know she is secure. She's out of the 5 point harness and in a booster seat. Peyton also like to be independent and buckle her own seatbelt. Since I'm not the one buckling her in any longer I try to do bi-weekly checks on the fit of her booster to ensure it still fits her and does not need any ...
