  • A Day of Play with Great Wolf Lodge Minnesota

    When I first heard Great Wolf Lodge was coming to Minnesota I’ll admit, I was super excited! Great Wolf Lodge is known to have some of the best family fun activities. Did you see I mentioned activities? As in plural. Great Wolf Lodge is much much more than a water park. They have something for… [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]

    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]

  • 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. It’s a must-visit place for us every summer. But this summer Mother Nature is trying to break some records with triple-digit days! That is… [Continue Reading]

  • 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]

  • Custer County Candy Company

    On our trip through South Dakota, we stumbled across an adorable old fashioned candy store. The Custer County Candy Company is located in Custer just a 15 minuted drive from Wind Cave National Park. It’s right off the main drag, tucked back just a little ways off the street. If you see a huge metal… [Continue Reading]

    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]

  • 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]

Cinderstella

Cinderstella

I love this twist on a classic story tale! Cinderstella encourages little girls to think about more than princes, fancy dresses and jewels. While Cinderstella's two stepsisters are so busy bossing her around and obsessing over meeting the prince, Cinderstella is obsessed with the stars.Cinderstella's stepsister are demanding new tasks out of her everyday. One day it's to make fancy dresses for them, the next it's to do their hair and then polish their jewels. But while her stepsisters are ...

Relieve Eczema with Skin Clinical

Skin Clinical Extreme Healing Daily Treatment

Many of you know Peyton was diagnosed with Eczema last year right before Kindergarten started.  We had such an ordeal! Peyton had a severe eczema outbreak happening behind her right ear. I had never seen eczema before so I really didn't think much of it. We went to get her a hair cut for her first day of school and even the hairdresser never said a word about it. Instead, she washed Peyton's hair and while she was combing it out proclaimed Peyton had head lice. Well, that sure freaked everyone ...

Julep Custom Maven Box June

Julep June Reveal

When I first joined Julep there were only a few choices. You took a quiz and based on your answer you were thrown into a category. Based on that category, you would receive a box tailored to those category preferences.  It was only 3 nail polishes back then. So much has changed!  Now you can pick and choose what you would like in your box or you can go with the choices Julep has picked out for you. I typically create a custom box so I get exactly what I want and pay $19.99 a month for it.Here's ...

Butterfly Cheese and Crackers Bento Box

Butterfly Cheese and Cracker Bento Box

There are more than sandwiches you can use to make a lunch. Sometimes I forget about that and get into a sandwich rut. So today I took thick slices of Colby Jack cheese and used mini butterfly cookies cutters to turn them into butterflies! I used about 4 slices of thick sliced cheese to make 8 butterflies. I figured that was enough for lunch. Then I used a few Ritz crackers and tossed in a handful of pepperoni sticks. (I buy the pepperoni sticks at Target in the snack aisle.) Next up was the ...

IPSY June Bag

IPSY June Bag Reveal

I love my IPSY bag subscription. I look forward to it's arrival every month. I just hate that it takes till nearly the end of the month to receive it! For those of you considering signing up for IPSY here's what I received this month in my June 2016 IPSY bag - I really like this month's bag. The graffiti look is fun and colorful. Peyton has already claimed it and I will be reclaiming it after she falls asleep. There were 2 full-size items this month! I'm really excited about the juice BEAUTY ...

BFree from Wheat and Gluten

BFREE Wheat and Gluten Free Products

After Peyton's 6-year-old check up I have really started to take a look at what she eats.  After tracking her diet for a few weeks what I noticed was carbs, wheat and low protein were her meal choices when away from me. The school system and camp she attends both follow the federal food guidelines. The federal food guidelines is a bunch of nonsense. I even discussed it with our family doctor and she said Peyton would be better off if I sent her lunch to school with her. So that is what I've been ...
