Am I the only one that thinks the mosquitoes are horrible this year? We went camping a few weekends ago and there were swarms of mosquitoes at dusk and dawn. But we also had to deal with them all day long! Bull Frog has developed a 2-in-1 product perfect for all day long. With an SPF 30 combined with DEET-free insect repellent that deters bites for up to 8 hours. That's right, 8 hours!

Dinner and a Show: Beauty and the Beast
We are a Disney loving family, so when I saw the Chanhassen Dinner Theater was going to be performing Beauty and the Beast I had to buy tickets. Some may think I'm crazy for taking a child to a dinner theater but I think it's some of the best money I've ever spent. Plus, I'll let you in on a secret, join their mailing list. They send out offers with discounts for every show! We don't see every show at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. I am pretty particular about which shows we get tickets too. ...

Dinosaurs at the Minnesota Zoo
Head over to the Minnesota Zoo and travel back in time. Back to a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The kids and I took the journey and here's what we saw. The walk is long.

Soon you stumble upon an ancient opening to the land of the dinosaurs. Right there at the entrance is your very first ...
Never Scrub a Pan Again
I love to cook. I love to try out new recipes. But I HATE doing dishes. I hate soaking a pan and then scrubbing it and then repeating the process until it's finally clean. Nothing is a bigger demotivator than thinking about the clean up. With Copper Chef you'll never spend the night scrubbing a pan again. NEVER. I've been using the Copper Chef pan for a few weeks now and I am extremely impressed. With other pans, I need to add oil or butter to help prevent the food from sticking to the pan. I ...
