  • Crazy Horse

    South Dakota is steeped in history, it’s one of the main reasons I chose to take the kids here for MEA break. After visiting Mount Rushmore  we headed over to Crazy Horse. It’s only about a 15-20 minute drive. Crazy Horse is a privately funded memorial surviving on donations from the public. It’s a shame there is… [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 ...
