Our South Dakota Adevnture

Presidential Trail at Mount Rushmore South Dakota

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. I planned on using this mid-fall break as a learning tool rather than sitting around the house. This year, our school district turned our 4-day break into a 6-day break! When I heard we were going to be having 6-days off I knew I wanted to head to South Dakota. It's a fairly long drive from Minnesota and I knew the ...

And I find myself making the same dishes over and over again. Why? Because it's easy. I know how long it takes to make and I don't have to think. Am I happy about that? Nope. I think dinner time is an important time in  families. It's the time of day the whole family comes together and shares what ...

Santaland is Now Open at Macy’s

Santaland Kids Building a Snowman

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 ...
