RV Hitch

[AD] As fulltime RVers of 5 years now, we’ve learned a lot about what makes for a smooth travel day. And one of the most important players in getting us from point A to point B is our hitch.

We have had a Demco RV hitch since day one of our journey, and honestly, it’s one decision we’ve never regretted!

Here’s why we love our Demco Recon:

1. It’s rated to haul up to 21K. So it can take our big rig safely wherever we need.
2. It has a visible lock bar that slides into place that helps take the guess work out of hooking up.
3. It’s a two piece design, making it lighter weight than most so my husband can actually move it himself, if needed.
4. It’s made right here in the USA.
5. They have the absolute best customer service should a need ever arise. I mean it!

While the trips and adventures are often the part you see here, it’s so important as RVers that we are always considering how we will get safely to our destination as well. And we are grateful to have a hitch that has done that heavy lifting for us so well these last several years!

Olivia’s Organic Cafe

[hosted] Started in honor of their daughter Olivia, who just wanted to enjoy her favorite comfort foods despite health challenges, this cafe is a gem for those who prefer or need to avoid food allergens to those that simply value real, freshly prepared food on their plate!

📍 Burnsville, MN
(Just outside of the Twin Cities)

Details:
⏰ Open Wed.- Sun, 8am-2pm
🧑‍🍳 Gluten, peanut & dairy free scratch kitchen (with organic dairy options like milk, cheese etc. available)
🍽️ Breakfast + lunch menu (& a clean kids’ menu too 👏🏼)
🍩 Pop in just for a fresh bakery item or drink, if you are looking for something lighter
🥬 All ingredients from produce & meat to spices & coffee are sourced locally and organic as much as possible! (Peep a list of their farming partners on their website.)
🍰 No artificial colors or flavors.
🥪 Predominantly seed oil free (they deep fry in coconut oil), and even have a dedicated dining guide to help you avoid them altogether.

Must tries:
🥐 Cinnamon or Caramel Rolls
🧇 Chicken & Waffles
🍳 The Grand Benedict

This place got a rave review from our entire crew. Our kids only complaint was that we couldn’t return the moment we left 😆😉

Alllllll of the reasons Xtrema® Ceramic Cookware is one of my top tiny kitchen must haves:

🍳 Can be used on multiple surfaces
🍳 100% ceramic (not just a coating that will chip and degrade over time)
🍳 As low-tox as you can get
🍳 Lightweight
🍳 Handmade
🍳 A family-owned company
🍳 Third party leach tested to ensure no forever chemicals, lead etc get into our food
🍳 Built to last (and offer a forever replacement program if damaged)

We love our Versa pan, but also have their sauce pans, casserole dish etc. They have options to meet all tiny (and regular-sized) kitchen needs 😉.

Yes, they are an investment BUT they LAST.

And the peace of mind of cooking with something truly non-toxic & so versatile is worth it to me, especially when we work so hard to buy high quality food!

AND now is a great time to buy!
