Another Iowa Get-A-Way with the Family

After we had a few bumps in the road in Dubuque with rude customer service at Pizza Ranch and a dirty play area for the kids we made our way to the Quad Cities. 

First we arrived and the weather was much better then Wisconsin and I soon realized I did not pack right.  We headed to the mall and were able to make a huge score!!  My husband found winter jackets for $5 and jeans for $5!  WOOT!  It seems we always find amazing deals when we find a new mall.  :) 


We were in the mall waiting for daddy to come back so we made our own fun photo shoot.  :) 

One resturant we do not have in Wisconsin is Steak n Shake so we made sure to visit it!  I love the activities they hand out to children, it includes the cute hat, and a little car, plus some crayons and coloring page!  WAY TO GO Steak n Shake for being so awesome! I love the Frisco burger and recommend it!  YUM! 



Since the weather was so nice we were able to check out several parks which then made us hungry for ice cream.  I have a new favorite place, Whitey's!  I have never heard of Whitey's before but I am a new fan.  If you ever seen one try the pecan praline in a waffle cone because my mouth is watering just typing it, yes it's that good!


YUM YUM

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week!  I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea  deodorant  that I had never used prior.  I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp???  Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening!  :)  I was dry and I did not stink!  :) WOOT WOOT!  I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future.  :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E.  :) Don't like roll on's??  They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid.  :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them.  However,
