  • Wind Cave National Park: Scenic Cave Tour

    Peyton discovered cave tours last year when I took her on one in southern Minnesota. From that moment on, she has been begging to go on more cave tours. South Dakota has several guided tours available to the public at various caves. Since we were already exploring Wind Cave National Park I decided to take… [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]

  • ValleyFair is BACK!!!

    ValleyFair is back! It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to walk through the turnstiles and enjoy a day at ValleyFair. I was extremely excited when I heard they were opening at the end of May. Last year we definitely felt a void in our summer without our beloved ValleyFair. So we could… [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]

  • Reptile Gardens: Wild Animal Park

    Peyton loves to go to zoos and it is my goal to take her to as many as I can while she is little. When I heard about the Reptile Gardens: Wild Animal Park I wanted to check it out. At first, I thought it was a zoo full snakes but I was completely wrong.… [Continue Reading]

  • Wall Drug

    Stopping at Wall Drug is a must if you are in South Dakota. I had never been before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. When we arrived, immediately I felt overwhelmed. Thank goodness we visited during the off-season, I don’t think I could’ve driven Wall Drug during peak season. It would’ve been way too… [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]

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.

Thoughts on Pete’s Dragon

Disney's 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 ...

There’s a New Lipstick in Town

Bold, Young, Sexy and Free - That is what Feral Cosmetics stands for.  Feral Cosmetics lipsticks are smooth, hydrating and full of color. With one glide across the lips you'll have instant full coverage. The first time I used Feral Cosmetics I noticed how easily I was able to apply the lipstick. The second was the instant coverage.  I had full coverage with just one pass. You can also layer the lipstick for a more dramatic or intense look. Here are a few things I like about Feral Cosmetics ...

Work the Knots Out

I really do love my blog and love writing. I enjoy sharing our life with my readers. I also work a full-time day job. That means I am sitting 8-12 hours a day in front of computer, typing.  This leaves me with sore, tight muscles. But I never knew just how tight they were until I tried out the ChiroDoc Trigger Point Self Massage Tool.Within the first few moments of trying the massager I realized just how tight my upper back was.  I had no idea the strain I had been putting on myself working such ...

Helping Your Toddler Adjust To A New Sibling

Your toddler will love being the center of attention. When any friends or family come to visit, they will completely dote over your child and shower him or her with plenty of attention. However, that could all change if you welcome a new baby to your family. Adjusting to a new sibling can be tough for very young children. You will now have a second child to focus on, and they could end up feeling very left out. Especially when you have visitors over who haven’t met the new baby yet. But ...
