  • 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]

Who is excited that in less than 2 weeks Moana will be hitting the big screen? We are! In fact, Peyton and I will be in Disney World a few days after the release of Moana and we are hoping we can meet her! I’m really excited to see Moana.

A Doll House for the Holidays

Wooden Dollhouse

Every little girl wants a huge doll house for their dolls. I know I did when I was little and Peyton has been asking for all year long. The Best Choice Wooden Dollhouse with Furniture is a great option for looking for a large dollhouse for the holidays. I like that I can order it online and have it shipped to my home. Mine arrived in a plain white box and you could not tell it was a dollhouse. That was a huge deal for me. I hate it when I order something online and everyone can see what it ...

Protect Your Electronics When Traveling

Accell Powramid Charger and Travel Charger

It's the holidays and that means people are going to be traveling. One thing I've learned when traveling is there are never enough outlets. Between charging cell phones, iPads, laptops, extra batteries, camera batteries and more we always come up short.  Plugging in all my electronics into unprotected outlets makes me a tad nervous. You never know when a power surge is going to happen. And if you have every single outlet being loaded to maximum capacity in a hotel room that is probably not good. ...
