  • 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.

Nutrisystem Weight Loss Journey

I have been saying for the last year that I am going to loose the weight. But I haven't. In fact, I've gained 20 more pounds since I said I was going to loose the weight a year ago! A year ago I bought a fitbit and was determined to start my weight loss journey. But after about 2 months I misplaced the fitbit and that was the end of that. I do lead a fairly healthy and active lifestyle. But even with doing 5ks and eating what I thought was healthy I was still having issues losing the weight. ...

Smurfs The Lost Village Now in Theaters

Smurfs the Lost Village

I grew up watching the SMURFS on Saturday mornings with my brother. We loved it. It was one of the few shows we could both agree on watching every Saturday. Three decades later and Smurfs are still going strong! Now I get to share my love of Smurfs with my daughter. This Friday, Smurfs The Lost Village will open up nationwide in theaters everywhere. Peyton and I took in an early preview this past weekend. This was our first time seeing a Smurfs movie on the big screen. And for Peyton I think ...

Rugrats Season 1 & 2 Coming to DVD!!!

Rugrats Season 1

If you grew up in the 90s, chances are you watched the Rugrats. I was a teen in the 90s but I still loved watching them. I used to watch them while I was babysitting. Now, fast forward a few years (ok almost 2 decades) and I have a child of my own.  I had forgotten about the Rugrats until we were at the Mall of America. Did you know they have a Rugrats ride??? It's bumper cars!!! And they are only for the littles. Sorry adults, we don't get to ride these.  All those memories from watching ...

Star Wars Rogue One Now Available on Blu-Ray

Star Wars Rogue One

I have been waiting for this day for months! We were traveling so much this past fall that I didn't get to see Star Wars Rogue One when it was in theaters, but Peyton did! I have been hearing for the past few months how cool the fight scenes were. Shortly after seeing Rogue One, Peyton became obsessed with Storm Troopers. I'm not sure why. But after watching Rogue One I can see how cool they looked in fight scenes so that may have a little to do with it. If you haven't seen Rogue One, let me ...
