    It’s always Christmas time at Christmas Village in Rapid City, South Dakota. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. I love decorating our tree, the home and our walkway.

    Peyton has a fascination with dinosaurs. There was one point when she would only watch The Land Before Time and Ice Age movies.

Absences Add Up

Depending on where you are – your kids have likely been in school for a month or two already. Have they missed any days during that time? How many? Is that even something you think about regularly? When they did miss – you probably did everything you needed to do to ensure that they stayed caught up, right? Unfortunately, there are kids out there who do not have that luxury and they are falling behind. A student who misses just two days of school each month — 18 days total in the year — is ...

Spend Less Time Scraping This Winter

Ice, Sun, Frost and Wind Proof in All Weather, Multi-used as Outdoors Picnic Mats, Yoga Mat, Tent Sleeping Pad with 77.5" x 27.5"

I know no one wants to talk about the snow and ice that will be here before we know it. I've heard that we will be having an early winter from many of the local farmers. And that we are going to have tons of snow.  Neither of those sentences makes me very happy. I live in Minnesota and we get some nasty winters. I also do not have a garage so my car sits outside all day long and all night long. And the one thing I hate about winter is having to scrap my windows! Plus I'm short and I have a Dodge ...

The Perfect Weekend Getaway Bag

Waterproof Compact Travel Organizer

We have a long weekend trip coming up with kids. And the one thing I have learned is, when traveling with kids you need to be organized! Yoonsic makes a portable waterproof toiletry bag travel organizer that is perfect for those weekend getaways and road trips. Since ours is a long weekend road trip this bag is going to work out well. This is a compact bag so I won't be able to keep both of Peyton's toiletries and mine in one bag. We would need two. One for each of us. Yoonsic's bag comes in ...
