  • 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]

  • Explore the Lincoln Park Zoo

    Another place I had never been on all my travel to Illinois was the Lincoln Park Zoo.  It’s a free zoo so I’m not sure why we’ve never visited but I decided we were going to check it out this time. Spending the day at the zoo is one of Peyton’s and my favorite things… [Continue Reading]

  • 5 Tips to Beat the Heat at Valleyfair

    With summers being so short in Minnesota we try to cram as much as possible into it.  One of our favorite Minnesota places to spend time in the summer is Valleyfair.

  • 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]

  • 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]

  • A Little Throwback to Sea World

    One of my fondest memories growing up was the vacation my grandparents took me on to Sea World. I was about 6 years old and it was my first time to a park with sea animals. Oh boy was I excited! Back in 1983, Sea World was a lot different than it is now. I… [Continue Reading]

Sebastian Meow Mix Bistro Recipes Happy Healthy Cat Month

Sebastian has been with me for 15 years! He snuggles up close every night, takes a shower with me every morning and is my little sidekick every day. September is Happy Healthy Cat Month—and there's never been a better time to show our cats some extra love.  Recently, the cat lovers at Meow Mix ran the Purrfect Together Survey, which asked cat parents around the country about their special bond with their four-legged friends. Here are some of the meow-nificent results: 83% of cats take naps ...

Our Raised Garden Bed Adventure

Farm To Table Movement

Now that Peyton is older and she's helping in the kitchen more I thought it would be a good idea to try our hand at gardening this summer. The past few summers I have tried to do a garden bed but the bunnies, deer, ants and other wild life took it over. They treated my gardens like they were buffets and cleaned them out overnight! I even tried purchasing vegetable plants and planting them. The deer really appreciated that! Took them 2 days to eat all the plants down to nothing.This year I ...

3 Tips to Help Avoid Yeast Infections

Monistat Fights Yeast Infections

Yes, I am writing about ways to prevent yeast infections. Why? Because we need to talk about it. The first time I had a yeast infection I had no clue what it was. Our society can be weird talking about the female body and issues when they arrive. Over the years we've gotten better but I want to keep the conversation going. Keep the conversation open. Let's talk about a few things you can do to help prevent a yeast infection. Summer is drawing to an end and with that comes the last few hot and ...

Carry Everything in One Trip

Grillinator Utility Tote and Firewood Log Carrier

Peyton and I went camping a few weekends ago and I wish we would've had the Grillinator utility tote and firewood log carrier. We were at a carry in campsite. Which means you carry EVERYTHING in with you, including the firewood. In the past, when I've purchased firewood from the parks it's always been in a bundle. But at Glendalough State Park the firewood is kept in a huge shed and you portion it out on your own. They have a little contraption to help measure the amount of wood you are taking ...

Celebrate Life with Groupon

Groupon Goods Personalized Chalkboard

I have been a loyal user of Groupon for years. Groupon has saved me money on my smoothies, coffee, haircuts, pedicures and so much more. This year I used Groupon Goods to help me celebrate a milestone in our family. I was looking for a way to make Peyton's first day of 1st-grade special when a Groupon email appeared in my mailbox. Well, a certain deal caught my eye. It was a Groupon for a sign to celebrate school starting and it was personalized! Who would've thought I could use Groupon to ...

Double Hearts, Double the Love

Yes, I know cheesy title, but I wanted you to click on it! So, we all know I am single. That means if any jewelry is coming in the house I am the one buying it. I have been wanted a double heart necklace for some time now. I love how the two tone hearts play off each other, creating depth and dimension to the pendant. My favorite feature of the double heart pendant is how much it sparkles! Get this pendant in the sunlight and it's glimmering. Everyone's attention will be drawn to you. I like ...
