Indulge Your Senses with Aera
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?

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.

While Macy's may have changed a few things around they kept the holiday ...
