I'm trying to break Peyton of peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches so today I made a cheese and cracker lunch box! I took a mini heart cookie cutter with a scalloped edge and cut out 6 Colby Jack cheese hearts. I like to buy the rectangle individually sliced cheese to do this with. I use about 3 slices per bento box meal. And then I have them for my lunches if I want to use them too. I switched out the beef sticks I normally buy to turkey sticks. Just thought turkey would be a little ...
Fly Over America
There's a new attraction out at the Mall of America! Peyton and I just had to go check out Fly Over America. It's located inside of Nickelodeon Universe between the Peeps Company and Hard Rock Cafe. I would say it's more of an attraction than a ride. Fly Over America does take a little while to go through and enjoy so I would set aside about a half hour for the experience. If there's a line, plan on spending more time.When you first arrive to Fly Over America, you'll stop at a ticket counter ...
The Tiny Traveler Italy
A tiny board book for tiny little hands! The Tiny Traveler is a series of board books about various destinations around the world. In this Tiny Traveler book we are learning about Italy! This is a very simple board book perfect for little ones learning how to count. I chose to review the Italy version because we have a family member heading to Italy later this year and I thought what a great way for the kids to relate to their grandmother's travels. Each set of pages has a number with a ...
Princess Tiara Bento Box
Yes, I must confess I went out and bought a new Bentgo Box. It was too hard only having one Bentgo box in the house. And sometimes Peyton has been known to forget her lunch box at school. So I bought a second one in blue. However, I will be buying a green one and a few extra inserts before school starts. I just love the shape of this lunch box! It's the perfect size for little kids. And it helps keep me from tossing a ton of junk food in a bag and sending her off to school. Today, Peyton is ...
Ice Age Collision Course
Can you believe they released Ice Age 5? It's the 5th installment in the Ice Age franchise. It seems like just yesterday the first Ice Age was released. I love the tagline for this Ice Age - Kiss Your Ice Goodbye. But the real title for the movie is Ice Age: Collision Course. So what happens in this Ice Age? Well, Scrat is still chasing that silly acorn. And, like every other movie, that silly acorn gets Scrat in a heap of trouble. This time, Scrat ends up chasing the acorn into ...
American Girl Bistro
Peyton is at the age where all things American Girl is thrilling. Every time we head out to the Mall of America, she insist we make a stop at the American Girl store. Well, today I surprised her with a late lunch in the American Girl Bistro!This is our second visit to the bistro. Typically reservations are needed. Going to the Mall of America is usually a last minute decision so I never try for them. But today we were going to try a walk up reservation since we were eating at 2 pm. And it ...
