Our senses play a huge role in how we feel. Have you ever noticed when you walk into a bakery and the smell of fresh baked bread surrounds you, how you feel warm and comfortable? Or if you walk into a home, where someone has been baking all day long? Or when it's spring time and having the windows open with the breeze flowing through the house is refreshing? All those feelings are driven by your sense of smell. So many of us use various air fresheners in our homes. Air fresheners are helpful in ...

Our South Dakota Adevnture
Every year, Minnesota schools have a 4-day break in the middle of October. Last year, I decided I wanted to take this time and go explore a part of the United States with Peyton.

Spice Up Your Routine with Blue Apron
Everyone seems to be crunched for time. And we all want to be healthier. I find myself looking for quick weeknight meal ideas that are healthy, nutritious, taste good and can be made fairly quickly.

Santaland is Now Open at Macy’s
Before downtown Minneapolis had Macy's it was Dayton's department store. I remember every winter we would head downtown to Dayton's 8th floor and see the holiday decorations, look at the displays and see Santa. It's some of my favorite memories from my childhood. I used to look forward to seeing the displays and all the holiday decorations all year long. As I grew up, things changed, Dayton's was purchased by Macy's. While Macy's may have changed a few things around they kept the holiday ...

For those of you not familiar with Our Generation, let me fill you in on them, they are a line of 18" dolls with clothing lines, accessories, pets and more. I appreciate the large variety of dolls at our store. There are dolls with long ...
