I just finished my last week on those icky antibiotics and steroids! I had been doing really good about not gaining weight until this last week. I went up 2 lbs but I have a sneaking suspicion it's probably just water weight. I'm not going to let it get me down. Nope. No way. Instead, I'm going to hit next week hard. It's my first time in over 6 weeks that I have not been on some sort of antibiotic, steroid or felt ill. I'm feeling pretty darn good! Finally. I've learned that over the past ...

Our Raised Garden Bed Adventure
Now that Peyton is older and she's helping in the kitchen more I thought it would be a good idea to try our hand at gardening this summer. The past few summers I have tried to do a garden bed but the bunnies, deer, ants and other wild life took it over. They treated my gardens like they were buffets and cleaned them out overnight! I even tried purchasing vegetable plants and planting them. The deer really appreciated that! Took them 2 days to eat all the plants down to nothing.This year I ...

While the Hilton hospitality and high standards are implemented at ...
Discover THAT Cooking School

But once I read about it I knew it was a place I wanted to visit. For those of you unfamiliar with THAT Cooking School let me tell you a little about it. THAT stands ...
Our South Dakota Adevnture
Every year, Minnesota schools have a 4-day break in the middle of October. Last year, I decided I wanted to take this time and go explore a part of the United States with Peyton. I planned on using this mid-fall break as a learning tool rather than sitting around the house. This year, our school district turned our 4-day break into a 6-day break! When I heard we were going to be having 6-days off I knew I wanted to head to South Dakota. It's a fairly long drive from Minnesota and I knew the ...
