    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]

Easing Dental Anxiety in Your Child

Today is the big day! Peyton has her 6 months cleaning at the dentist. She's been going since she was three years old to the dentist but not every visit has been a positive experience. In fact, all those negative experiences have led to dental anxiety. Too often we have had to deal with impatient dental hygienists or dentists that have felt children should just let them do what they need to do and be quiet. Well, all that rough and gruff treatment has finally caught up. Peyton now has severe ...

Copycat Chipotle Carnitas

Peyton loves the carnitas at Chipolte. She always orders a carnitas burrito every time we go.  I'll admit I am partial to their steak but I wanted to make carnitas at home for Peyton so I gave it a shot. Plus, making it in a big batch is perfect for family get-togethers. I actually made this exact recipe for my grandmother's 90th birthday party and it was a huge hit. While it tastes just like Chipotle's carnitas it is a little juicier or moist which was a huge hit.  Plus it makes reheating this ...

To make these adorable penguin cupcakes you will need the following - 7 cupcakes 4 plain mini donuts 1 can vanilla frosting 7 plain donut holes 1 ...

Addams Family Giveaway!

I grew up watching the Addams Family every week. I LOVED that show. Lurch was definitely my favorite. I always wished I had a butler like him. And I always wanted my own Thing too. But, it never happened in my childhood. I never got my own butler or Thing. When I saw they were making Addams Family into a movie I could not wait to take Peyton to it. One of my favorite childhood families was coming to the big screen and I couldn't wait to enjoy it with her. And we did! We loved watching it on ...

2020 Honda Pilot Highlights

Growing we had a Honda Pilot. It was roomy and perfect for my parents. My stepdad used to take our German Shepherd to training classes for search and rescue and when our dog was not in the field working on her tracking skills it was required you kept your dog in a kennel in your car. The Honda Pilot was able to easily fit our large dog kennel so our dog was comfortable when she wasn't training. Over the years the looks and features of the Honda Pilot have evolved. If you are looking for a ...

Top 4 Timeless Eye Glasses Shapes

As a child or teenager, you may have hated being told that you have to wear glasses. For some people, those first few weeks of getting used to wearing them can cause a sense of dread. However, glasses have always had a fashionable side. Dating back to the 1880s, a style called pince-nez - small oval glasses which hung on a cord - were so fashionable that some people wore them despite the fact that they didn’t actually need to. This remains a fashion today, though the styles have changed. ...
