  • Minnesota to Kentucky in One Day

    Can it be done? Can one person drive straight through from Minnesota to Bowling Green, Kentucky in one day? It’s nearly a 12-hour drive without any hiccups.  That’s a long drive. But I did it! That’s exactly what I did when I took Peyton to Bowling Green, Kentucky over MEA break. We drove the whole… [Continue Reading]

  • Find Comfort at the Country Inn and Suites

    On our recent trip to the Chicago area, we chose to stay at the Country Inn in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. We frequently visit the Chicago area and have discovered staying in a suburb is a nice option for our family. It’s only a short drive to go into the city but the benefits of staying… [Continue Reading]

  • Explore Bourbon Country

    Yes, you read that right, let’s explore bourbon country! It’s similar to how people explore wine country. They head to a vineyard, sip some wine, enjoy small bites and make a vacation out of it. So why not do that with Bourbon? Kentucky is home to some of the most spectacular Bourbon distillers, you can… [Continue Reading]

  • 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. She’s better now and watches other shows but when I saw an opportunity to take her to a site where they are excavating Mammoth bones I knew I had to take her.… [Continue Reading]

  • Wind Cave National Park

    While we were visiting South Dakota I wanted to spend some time in the National Parks. There are a few different parks you can visit while in the Rapid City area. Unfortunately, time flew by and we were only able to fit in one National Park. Wind Cave National Park is located just a short… [Continue Reading]

  • Dinosaur Park

    If you’ve followed us for a while, you probably know Peyton is obsessed with The Land Before Time. She owns every single movie and episode ever made. Even the one that came out earlier this year!

  • Make Yourself at Home with Hilton Garden Inn

    When I started to plan our trip to Rapid City, South Dakota I knew we were going to need a place to stay. Traveling with two kids, I had some specific amenities and qualities I was looking for in a hotel. Here are a few things I was looking for – It had to be… [Continue Reading]

  • Toll Roads No Problem with the FastToll App

    Peyton and I are in the Chicago area at least every other month. But I don’t want to invest in an I-Pass because I don’t need it in Minnesota. And Illinois is really the only place that we travel that has toll roads. But stopping at all those toll roads adds on travel time. That’s… [Continue Reading]

  • 5 Apple Orchards to Visit This Fall

    It’s nearly fall y’all! Can you believe how quickly summer just flew by?? It feels like it was just yesterday that Peyton was getting out of the school and we were packing up the car to head to Wisconsin Dells. But yet, here we are, in school and starting to winterize the yard.  I cannot… [Continue Reading]

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 ...

A Road Trip Must Have

First Aid Kit for Family of three

We are getting ready to go on some fabulous road trips in the next two months! I can't wait to share all these adventures with you guys. One of the places we will be heading to is Mount Rushmore. While we are there we'll also be taking in some of the parks and enjoying the hiking trails. And I am sure, that at least one of use will slip, fall and scrape a knee. It's a given with 2 kids in tow. Heck, Peyton can fall getting out of the car and scrape her legs up. Having a first aid kit with you in ...

Get a Workout Without Leaving the House

Thigh Master Home Exercise

The days are getting shorter, the sun is going down earlier making it harder to get out for a quick walk. And soon, the snow will be here along with freezing temps. All this means I will be stuck indoors for months until the ice melts and the warm weather returns. Being a single mom, it's hard to get to a gym without a kid in tow. Plus the travel time sucks up what little time we have to spend together each night after school. So I much rather include Peyton in my workouts. Or at the very least ...
