Silo Ridge Peony Farm
I heard about this farm from a few friends last year, yet didn’t make it down there during the blooms. So, I was incredibly excited to check it out this summer. Peak bloom was projected to be this weekend, but luckily for all of you, it hasn’t actually happened yet. Due to the cooler weather,…

Jeffers Petroglyphs/Red Rock Falls County Park
For far too long, we didn’t go to Jeffers Petroglyphs because we weren’t sure our kids would enjoy it. What a mistake! We had to insist on leaving the night we visited because our kids wanted to stay so much longer. In April, I saw an event that Jeffers Petroglyphs was putting on in collaboration…

Spend a day in Lakefield, Minnesota!
Since moving from the suburbs of the Twin Cities, I’ve realized the true beauty in small towns. Unlike the suburbs where people are always moving and don’t always fully invest in the community they reside in, small towns usually have a main group of people who grew up and have remained in the town. They…

A bowling alley your whole family will love!
We had heard about this location from some friends and decided to check it out. It was definitely worth it! Growing up, I always loved one particular small family-owned bowling alley. It always felt more comfortable and cozy to bowl at instead of the large bowling alleys. Since bowling alleys seem to be fading away…

Before even going, I was impressed with the prices. Since everything is going up now, including places to visit with families, I was pleasantly surprised…
