    When I started to plan our trip to Rapid City, South Dakota I knew we were going to need a place to stay. Traveling with two kids, I had some specific amenities and qualities I was looking for in a hotel. Here are a few things I was looking for – It had to be… [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]

  • 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]

  • Dinosaur Park

    If you’ve followed us for a while, you probably know Peyton is obsessed with The Land Before Time. She owns every single movie and episode ever made. Even the one that came out earlier this year!

  • Find Comfort at the Country Inn and Suites

    On our recent trip to the Chicago area, we chose to stay at the Country Inn in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. We frequently visit the Chicago area and have discovered staying in a suburb is a nice option for our family.

  • Navigating Cedar Point Amusement Park with a Special Needs Child

    Recently, Peyton and I attended a conference in Sandusky, Ohio. While we were there I decided to make some time to take her to Cedar Point Amusement Park.

  • 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]

  • 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]

Discover Curioso Cuff

Curioso Cuff with Light Up Opal

Are you a child of the 80s? Or even 90s? Remember how cool it was to have a mood ring? To watch it change colors? I do!

Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker

Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker

If you spend anytime with Peyton you know she is theatrical. She also loves to take in live performances whenever she gets a chance. Typically we see plays but when the chance to see Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker I just had to jump on it. I've never been to a ballet either and have always wanted to. I had no clue what to expect but I was excited. When the big day arrived I dressed Peyton in an adorable dress and we headed off to the historic Orpheum Theatre. Once we found parking and ...

Be the Ultimate Fan with Fan Hands

Fan Hands Pink Gloves

Living in Minnesota means about 7 months out of the year it's cold. And about 4 months out the year gloves are a must. Even with these known facts our politicians and local sports teams thought it was a spectacular idea to build outdoor stadiums! Now everyone can be out in the elements when it's -11!! Woohoo!!! I can not even go into the lack of common sense that went into these decisions. Anywho, one drawbacks of having an outdoor stadium (or in our case several to choose from) when attending ...

Deliciously Pink Treats

Good Humor Bar Strawberry Shortcake

Treats! Treats are everywhere you turn. And everything looks scrumptious.  But I want to have something a little different than chocolate roses or chocolate covered strawberries. Here are a few of my favorite treats  for Valentine's Day. Growing up it was a treat to have Breyers ice cream. I LOVED their strawberry ice cream because there are chunks of strawberries! But I also love the Neapolitan because I like to mix the strawberry, chocolate and vanilla together making it into a one of a ...
