  • ValleyFair is BACK!!!

    ValleyFair is back! It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to walk through the turnstiles and enjoy a day at ValleyFair.

  • Mammoth Site

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

  • A Little Throwback to Sea World

Sebastian’s Diagnoses

Last week, Sebastian had his wellness visit. Now that he's 15 years old I dread these visits. I have anxiety and stress about finding out something is wrong with my fur baby. But I still do them. Every single year I take him in for his wellness visit and vaccinations. This year, they found something. Sebastian has lost a little over a pound since his visit last year. And then upon physical examination, a lump was found on his throat. A lump! When the doc told me my baby had a lump on his throat ...

Veggie Tales Every Day with God

I remember when I wanted to start introducing God to Peyton. I mean, I always talked about God and Jesus around her. But she didn't really understand. We did try out Sunday school but that was a complete disaster, so we left. But I really do feel she needs to know about God, so how do I do that? Veggie Tales Every Day with God is a great way to introduce little ones to God. There are 365 devotionals to help children learn about God and to be kind to one another. On Day 2 the devotional is - ...

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 ...
