  • 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]

  • 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]

  • 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]

  • 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]

  • 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]

  • Crazy Horse

    South Dakota is steeped in history, it’s one of the main reasons I chose to take the kids here for MEA break. After visiting Mount Rushmore  we headed over to Crazy Horse. It’s only about a 15-20 minute drive. Crazy Horse is a privately funded memorial surviving on donations from the public. It’s a shame there is… [Continue Reading]

    Growing up, the annual trip to Valleyfair in Shakopee, Minnesota was a day we all looked forward to. Every year there is always something new at Valleyfair. We’d usually go once with family and once with school. I have many fond memories of those trips. Now, that I am a mom, I take Peyton to… [Continue Reading]

Baxter Turns Down His Buzz

Baxter Turns Down His Buzz

Reading to children on a daily basis is important. While you are reading to your child it's a great time to choose stories with a lesson. Baxter Turns Down His Buzz is a children's booked geared to help children understand ADHD. When I was growing up, many children went undiagnosed with ADHD. Those children were labeled as trouble makers or class clowns. Thanks to my grandmother, my brother was not labeled either of those, he was diagnosed with ADHD and given the classroom setting he needed to ...

Turkey and Cheese Bento Box

Turkey and Cheese Rectangles

I've been doing shapes in Peyton lunches for a while now. And I have been a little bad about keeping up with the dishes. So today I just sliced her sandwich into quarters and stacked them in her bento box. It was a tight fit, but I didn't want to waste any of the sandwich so I squished it in. I used thinly sliced turkey breast and Colby Jack cheese thinly sliced to make this meal.I had some blackberries and blueberries I needed to use up before they spoiled so I washed them off and filled up the ...

Lilla’s Sunflowers

I know many families with loved ones in the military. It's hard on little ones when Mom or Dad is deployed and they are left behind. Children understand their parent needs to leave for work but the long spans of time they are gone is difficult on the family.  Lilla's Sunflowers is about a little girl named Lilla and her Papa. Papa is in the military and is going to have to go away for an extended tour. One of their favorite things to do together is sit in Lilla's sunflowers and sing songs ...

Target Beauty Box Simply Radiant Products

This month Target had two beauty boxes to choose from. I picked up both of them! But right now I'm going to tell you about the Simply Radiant beauty box. Out of the two boxes I liked this one better.

Claims to give you 8 times the volume. Dessange Paris Purifying Clay Shampoo - ...
