Recs from someone who lives here! It’s a beautiful little village that reminds me a bit of a fairytale with its limestone buildings and German and Irish history.

These are our tried and true summer adventures in Wisconsin on a single mom's travel budget. My daughter is 10 years old, she loves water, being outdoors, crafts, and day trips.

We have two lists for Wisconsin Dells with kids, one for summer and one for winter. This summer edition discusses all the water parks available, with my favorite being Noah's Ark.

For over 40 years, my family has been going to Noah’s Ark waterpark. Here are all the tips and tricks we use, in addition to our favorite rides and what we pack for our trip.

These are the fun things that my 10 year old and I love to do in the winter in Wisconsin Dells. We love the waterparks all year round but especially in Wisconsin's cold winter. The Wilderness' Take Flight is a favorite attraction that we go to again and again because its a chance to see the world without taking a huge expensive trip.

I've been going to Wisconsin Dells for over 4 decades. Its a great quick drive and there is always something to do. These are things I have enjoyed doing with my significant other. Usually we can't get away for longer than a weekend and there's always something fun, such as a boat tour to just relax and enjoy each other.

The best part about going to Door County is that it truly is far away from the rest of the world. The air is so fresh, the villages are small and it has this cozy feel no matter the time of year. If you like to fish, even better. Its a place to slow down for awhile and find peace within yourself or with your near and dear ones.

Everyday I use these products and I've been using them for over 3 decades. They work and they're worth the money.

If you saw my make up cabinet, you would probably be asking where the rest of it is, lol. I keep only the makeup that I wear and use. I don’t have any lipstick because I never wear it. I have skin care products, foundation, eye shadow and mascara. I like a very no make up look.

Back in 2010, I went to the theater to watch Eat Pray Love and cried without fully understanding why. At the time, I wasn’t married or divorced yet, but deep down I knew something in my life didn’t feel aligned. As the years unfolded, I found myself returning to this movie again and again. It helped me realize that so much of what I was searching for externally—in relationships, achievement, identity, and validation—was actually something I needed to reconnect with within myself.

I have lived every resource on this list and I've been in so many Facebook/Nextdoor/Linkedin groups where people are asking for help with divorce. Having gone through it myself in 2018 and having been in a child custody and placement dispute myself that spanned 6 years, here are the resources that helped me. I hope they help you too.

I had a wonderful 20 year career in corporate accounting but I knew something was missing. I can't say that I could give you the same advice as only you know what works for your path. But here is what helped me transition from a corporate career to finding balance between my career and my family.

As a professional cleaner for over 5 years, I use products that work with the first application, smell uplifting, are not toxic, and that I can recommend to my clients for their own personal use. These are the products that I use and recommend.

In 2014, I had an awakening in my car-- all the sudden, my dashboard lights flashed and I looked down to see 55,555 miles, 55 degress, 5:55 PM and I was driving past two 55 MPH speed limit signs. I suddenly had a thirst to read books I was never interested in until that point. In 2014, I read over 294 books on spirituality. These were the books that most helped me on my journey and I continue to go back to them and use them in my daily life over a decade later.

These are the movies I have studied extensively. They helped me heal, learn about relationships, and study martial arts.

As a tax preparer, here's how I like to see documents organized so that the input is easy. This allows for accuracy, saves time, and reduces your tax prep bill

I buy clothes that are easy to mix and match with the pieces that I already love to wear. There are tank tops and cover ups that layer easily for Wisconsin's quick change in weather and easily transition between whatever I'm doing, whether its going from work to my kids' volleyball practice or out on a date.

I am short, 5'5" and I wear flat shoes because they feel good on my feet. Its worth the price for a shoe that looks good and feels good on my feet.

This is my go to wardrobe for spring and summer-- beach, summer parties, wellness practice, reiki, yoga...easy to wear things that I use daily.

I like to make my own hibachi recipes because then I control the ingredients and the portion size.

I discovered mushrooms on my health journey for healing my thyroid. I was amazed how it helped clear my skin, gave me more energy than coffee without the crash, and had all the nutrients I needed to support my auto immune disease.

With having hypothyroidism, I felt like no matter what I did, I couldn't lose weight. I have taken synthroid all my life. When I started working with Dr. Heather Stone's method, the weight fell off and it stayed off because I addressed the root issue. When I realized the root issue was blood sugar and glucose levels not my thyroid, it was much easier to modify my diet. My hair started growing and thickening and my body responded.

My 10 year old daughter loves all think pink, slime, mystery boxes, facials, squishmallows, and arts and crafts!

My daughter's first mystery box pick was a slime mystery box that she found on Etsy. She just loves to track the shipping and check the mail for her surprise!

I love to use the Great Discovery to create my own content and courses. I sell them on the Great Discovery and I also offer them on my YouTube channel.

For your entertainment, I found not only merch but places you can visit that support the Big Foot mission.

Can I put my thumbprint in every piece of chocolate?
