    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]

  • 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]

  • Mammoth Site

    Peyton has a fascination with dinosaurs. There was one point when she would only watch The Land Before Time and Ice Age movies. She’s better now and watches other shows but when I saw an opportunity to take her to a site where they are excavating Mammoth bones I knew I had to take her.… [Continue Reading]

  • Toll Roads No Problem with the FastToll App

    Peyton and I are in the Chicago area at least every other month. But I don’t want to invest in an I-Pass because I don’t need it in Minnesota. And Illinois is really the only place that we travel that has toll roads. But stopping at all those toll roads adds on travel time. That’s… [Continue Reading]

Warm Up the Night with Columbia Fragrance Co

The Columbia Fragrance Collection Hawaii

The weather outside is definitely frightful! And it does not look like it will be improving anytime soon. When the house is closed up for winter I like to burn candles to help remove stale air and create an ambiance. The Columbia Fragrance Co hand pours each and every candle into recycled or reusable containers. The Columbia Fragrance Co is known for their true fragrance. If you buy a candle that should smell like roses it will smell like a dozen long stemmed roses sitting in a vase. And if ...

LUSH Inspired Valentine’s Day Gifts

Unicorn Horn, The Experimenter, Intergalactic

A few weeks a go I got my email from LUSH discussing all the new items they would have available. Well one caught my eye instantly, the Unicorn Horn! The second I saw it I knew I had to get one for my daughter. This would make a great Valentine's Day gift! The Unicorn Horn is a bubble bar so you can break this up and use it a few different times or use it for one bath and have lots and lots of bubbles. My daughter can never let anything be used more than once so she used her Unicorn Horn in one ...

Never Slip Again with NANOspikes

NANOspikes in Use

As many of you know we live in Minnesota. Winters can be harsh here, especially with ice storms. Or even just dramatic temps that are warm enough during the day to melt the snow but then drop overnight and freeze the melted snow making for icy sidewalks in the morning. Countless times I have nearly slipped or done the waving hand trying to regain my balance on the way to my car in the morning. Or slipped and fell in the parking lot while out trying to do a little shopping. And it hurts to fall ...

An Amish Year

An Amish Year by Beth Wiseman

An Amish Year was the first time I've ever read a novel by Beth Wiseman so I was surprised to find out it's not one story but four stories! I would consider it to be 4 short stories about different characters. I really liked this format because as a single mom it can be hard to read a whole 300+ page novel from start to finish before I forget what the beginning was about.  But when each story is roughly 100 pages, give or take, I can read the story, engage with the story and have a complete ...
