We’re all about maximizing our
limited time off
Do you feel the pressure of your job getting to you? Are you longing to get away from it all but you have limited vacation time? Do you just need a break?
Us too!
We love to travel and explore, but we’re also holding down full-time jobs. In addition to that, living in the US means we have very limited time off. We do all the research and planning we can so that when we’re finally on vacation, we can enjoy it and really make the most of our holiday.
Let us share what we know, and learn from our inevitable mistakes, so that when it’s your turn, your vacation goes smoothly and you can maximize your trip!

This is the perfect guide for first-time visitors to Italy, or for people who want to dive a little deeper.




We look forward to the Minnesota State Fair all year and opening day is right around the corner! We’ll be at the fair bright and early on Thursday to try all the official new foods, even the fairly odd ones (see what I did there?)! Like last year, we’re amping up the fun in anticipation of the MN State Fair! We’ve created a free set of 4 MN State Fair Bingo cards featuring all the new foods! You can get your set below (and no, this was not created with AI, just a lot of love and attention to detail).
