Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. Published Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How are you doing today? TGIF!
After nearly 10 days in the Minneapolis area – today is our last day here. We are busy doing laundry, grocery shopping and planning the next leg of our trip! We plan to head north to the Bemidji area for a few days to see family and then east toward Duluth! Thanks for everyone who shared tips and suggestions for things to do in Wisconsin and Michigan! We love your feedback and it helps us plan our trip!
Yesterday we went to the Mall of America. We had fun – and saw a lot of things! We didn’t do much shopping – although we spent a lot of time in the LEGO store – and actually didn’t do any rides! We thought about it, but decided to save our money for another theme park down the road. We did get our FREE A&W floats (we did leave a donation) and I got a super deal on a couple dresses at Gymboree for my daughter (spent about $7 for both! They have an extra 30% off sale prices and I had a $5 reward).
Over on our travel blog, I did a post about one of my favorite camping spots – a fishing access spot, right on the Yellowstone river. We loved it and it was only $12 a night! It was definitely a highlight of our time in Montana.
Do you have any plans this weekend? Would love to hear about it!

Hi! I’ve been following your posts for a while and am excited to hear that you’re coming to Michigan soon! I live in a town just west of Grand Rapids called Holland. We are right on Lake Michigan and have sooo much to do here! If you have time, I highly recommend coming to town on Thursday evenings as there is a FREE street performers event that is a ton of fun. Here’s a super cool blog post about it recently http://momonthegoinholytoledo.com/2015/08/14/i-left-my-heart-in-holland/ . I hope you enjoy your time here in the mitten state! 🙂 🙂
