  • Christmas Village

    It’s always Christmas time at Christmas Village in Rapid City, South Dakota. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. I love decorating our tree, the home and our walkway. It’s something Peyton and I have been doing together since the day she was born. Granted, when she was a baby she sat and watched. But… [Continue Reading]

  • Mammoth Site

    Peyton has a fascination with dinosaurs. There was one point when she would only watch The Land Before Time and Ice Age movies. She’s better now and watches other shows but when I saw an opportunity to take her to a site where they are excavating Mammoth bones I knew I had to take her.… [Continue Reading]

  • 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… [Continue Reading]

  • Find Comfort at the Country Inn and Suites

    On our recent trip to the Chicago area, we chose to stay at the Country Inn in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.

  • 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]

  • Minnesota to Kentucky in One Day

    Can it be done? Can one person drive straight through from Minnesota to Bowling Green, Kentucky in one day? It’s nearly a 12-hour drive without any hiccups.  That’s a long drive. But I did it! That’s exactly what I did when I took Peyton to Bowling Green, Kentucky over MEA break. We drove the whole… [Continue Reading]

  • ValleyFair is BACK!!!

    ValleyFair is back! It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to walk through the turnstiles and enjoy a day at ValleyFair. I was extremely excited when I heard they were opening at the end of May. Last year we definitely felt a void in our summer without our beloved ValleyFair. So we could… [Continue Reading]

First School Lunch of the New Year

First Bentgo Box of the New Year

Today was the first day back to school for the new year! It was a mixed day of emotions. I really did enjoy spending the last week and a half with Peyton. All. The. Time. But it's nice to get back into a routine. I found us to be eating out often and not keeping any sort of schedule. Bedtimes were nonexistent and homework was forgotten. But, I am determined to get us back on track! One way is to send Peyton off to school with a healthy lunch and afternoon snack. So that was my focus this ...

Your Natural Traction Solution

If you live in the midwest you are probably experiencing some pretty interesting weather today.  We live just outside the Twin Cities and we have seen everything from rain to sleet to snow today. Schools are already putting out the message of late starts for tomorrow. And I can verify the roads are icy! I had to run over to my grandmother's house, about 20 minutes away on a dry day, and I could definitely tell the roads were getting very slick. On the way to her house, it was fine but coming ...

Fill the Air with Gingerbread

Gingerbread Coffee

I'm going to be honest and say I am not a fan of gingerbread. I know many of you are but I just cannot get on board with it. I've tried. Just like I have no clue why pumpkin spice has a cult following. I just do not understand it! So having me try out Gingerbread coffee was probably not the best idea but I had no say in what I was sent. So here we go! Typically I'm pretty happy with Brooklyn Bean Roastery. The coffees have the caffeine level I like and I really like I can purchase Da Bomb and ...

Turn Lunch Time into Fun Time!

I make Peyton's school lunch every single day. Most of the time she wants a sandwich. Since that is an easy lunch request to fill I obliged. But I think it would be boring eating a plain old sandwich day in and day out. Last summer I started using cookie cutters to make her sandwiches fun.  Cookies cutter are fine but there's a lot of wasted sandwich. Then I found sandwich cutters, they are specifically made to cut your sandwich into fun shapes without all the waste! I've used the dinosaur a ...
