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

  • 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.

Inches Loss Matter Too

We have been traveling a lot this past month. From Universal Studios in Florida to a few Minnesota based trips and I haven't been seeing much weight loss. I was starting to get discouraged. I'm staying on plan and I am getting a lot of exercise on these trips as they are mostly all walking. My average miles per day this past month has been 7 1/2 miles. A day! But yet my weight loss has been about 1/2 pound a week. So this week I decided to check in and see how many inches I have lost. And boy ...

Let Your Pup Ride in Comfort with Squishy Mats

Dog Enjoy Squishy Mats

Our dogs come to the office nearly every day. I never thought much about putting them in the cargo area of our SUV until we went to a drive in movie. When I had to sit back there and watch a movie with Peyton it was then I discovered just how hard and uncomfortable the cargo area was. Even with 3 quilts down it still hurt my back! When I heard about Squishy Mats I had to try them out for myself. What is Squishy Mats? I had the same question. I had never heard of them before today. Squishy ...

Get Your Limited Edition Pink Pumpkin!

Can you smell that? Fall is in the air! At least here in Minnesota, it feels like it.  The weather is cooler and the leaves are starting to turn. I have a feeling it's going to be an early winter. And the key indicator that fall is here, Pink Pumpkin is available! That's right, it only comes ones a year and they only make so many so be sure to grab a case or two or six of Pink Pumpkin K cups before the sellout. Because once they are gone you won't' be able to order them again until next ...

Encourage a Love for Reading with the Descendants

Isle of the Lost Series Box Set by Dela Cruz

If you have a young child in the home I'm sure you've heard of Descendants. Peyton loves to dance and sing all the songs around the house. She has the soundtracks in the car and insists we listen to them all the time. And she has both movies, watches them 24/7 and asks when Descendants 3 will be out. Well, this year Peyton is a 2nd grader and her only homework is reading 20 minutes. But it's a struggle. She is not crazy about having to read every single night for 20 minutes. Then I came across ...
