  • 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.

  • 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]

  • 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]

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 ...
