  • 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

    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]

  • 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]

  • 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]

    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.

Single Cup Club

Twisted Pine Bright and Early Fogbuster K Cups

I am the only coffee drinker in the house so making a full pot of coffee was a complete waste. I normally only have one morning cup of coffee and that's it for the day. So a few years ago I invested in a Keurig. It seemed to make the most sense for my lifestyle. I can make one cup at a time and not waste a whole pot of coffee everyday. Plus I can make hot tea and hot cocoa in it too. And since there is just me drinking coffee it can take a while to go through a box of k cups. I also like variety ...

Morning Magic

Morning Magic by Giles Smith

I am always on the lookout for new children's books.  I feel that reading to your child is very important and try to do it everyday.

When we first meet Emily she's trying to get ready for school but she's having issues getting into her dresser drawers. Just like every kid getting ready for school in the morning, Emily cannot find her ...

Blaze and the Monster Machines Dinosaur Rescue

Blaze and the Monster Machines Dinosaur Rescue

If you have a young child at home I am sure you have heard of Blaze and the Monster Machines. The first time my daughter saw Blaze and the Monster Machines on Nick Jr she was addicted. She loved the show.  Peyton would rush home from school and ask me to see if it was on. If it wasn't she would head straight to her iPad and watch it. This went on for a few weeks until she'd seen every episode she could get her little hands on. Then we, I mean she, discovered Blaze and the Monster Machines ap on ...

Everything Has a Place

Tubular Dog Barrier

A few months ago we were on a road trip. The longer we were away from home the more things we seemed to be accumulating until the SUV was full. Like full up to the ceiling of the car. Last summer we went camping and by the time I got all our gear and food packed into the SUV same thing. We were bursting out the windows. As I was driving with this car full of stuff the one thing that kept going through my mind was please don't shift and fall on my daughter! I had made sure the only things around ...
