School is starting soon, which means that for our little ones Fridays will become a day to celebrate. Of course, most kids love school, but they also look forward to the weekend so that they can spend some time doing whatever takes their fancy. Children love to learn, but they also enjoy being able to have some free time. So, it makes sense to use Friday nights as a way to celebrate the end of the week. The chances are, before your little ones came along, you spent Friday nights out ...
Blue Mercury is Now at Macy’s Southdale
Have you heard of Blue Mercury? If not, let me tell you a little bit about it. Recently, I was invited to spend a little time with the ladies at the Blue Mercury located in Southdale Mall in Edina, Minnesota. I am always looking for new beauty products.

On the First Day of Zoo Camp
Today was crazy! We are in that week before school starts but summer care has ended. I don't have the vacation time to take off work and spend the week with Peyton nor do I have family that I can pass her around to for the week. So I decided to send her to Zoo Camp!

Since I only needed a place for Peyton to go for a week I chose two half ...

New Foods at the Minnesota State Fair
The Minnesota State Fair start this week! This is one of my favorite times of year. Peyton and I have gone to the Minnesota State Fair every single year of her life, including the year she was in my belly. It's one of our favorite things to do to end the summer. We head to the state fair early in the morning and eat our way through till we can't eat anymore, the sun goes done or we are so hot we can't go on. I got a little sneak peak at some of the new foods at the fair so I thought I would ...
Thoughts on Pete’s Dragon
When Disney announced they were doing a remake of Pete's Dragon I was pretty excited. This is a movie from my childhood and I couldn't wait to share it with my daughter. While the movie is amazing there are a few parts I feel parents should be made aware of. The first 5 minutes of the film can be intense for our young audience. You are transported to the 70s, Pete and his parents are on a road trip. It's a bright sunny day, they are traveling down a road through a heavily wooded area, Pete ...
