  • 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]

  • 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]

  • 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]

  • What’s New at Valleyfair for 2018

    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]

  • Escape to the Windy City for the Weekend

    The Chicago area is one of our favorite destinations. It’s only 5 hours from home and full of museums, zoos, attractions and more. It’s the perfect change of scenery for the weekend. On our most recent trip, we stayed in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. It’s just a short drive outside of Chicago, however, it’s centrally… [Continue Reading]

  • 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]

When traveling, a… [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]

Target Beauty Box – June 2016

Target Beauty Box

Every month Target releases a few different beauty boxes.  At the end of May there was an option to purchase a beauty box for $10 and I just happen to be lucky enough to see it before it sold out. Typically, in a Target beauty box, you get a few deluxe sample, maybe a full-size lip product and then a coupon. In this month's box this is what I received - Full-Size Items e.l.f. Lip Kiss Balm Bare Kiss tinted lip balm with vitamins A&E, grape seed oil and Jojoba oil pixi by petra ...

Cheese and Crackers Bento Box

Cheese, Cracker and Beef Bento Box Lunch

My goal this summer is to keep Peyton excited about eating her lunches. I'm hoping that if I keep it new and fun she'll opt in for my healthy choices I'm sending with her to day camp rather than other items. This morning I decided to make her a cheese, crackers and beef stick based Bento Box. It's a fun twist on a classic! To start out this fabulous Bento Box meal I grabbed a little cookie cutter and cut my Colby-Jack cheese slices into hearts! A fun little spin on an ordinary slice of ...

PB & J Sushi Bento Box

PB J Sushi Bento Box Lunch

Today was the first day of summer camp! Where Peyton is attending summer camp she has the option of eating the lunch provided by the program (a federally funded and approved lunch program) or bringing lunch from home. Well, I've looked over the menu and I can honestly say I do not see how it's a balanced lunch. There is so much processed, carb filled foods with very little protein. Isn't this the time, in Peyton's childhood, where she needs protein, calcium, fresh fruits and veggies? So I've ...
