Lindsay Hindman Author Page

Hi! I'm Lindsay and I'm an author! I'm a mom of four and I've lived in San Diego, Kansas City, and here in Siouxland in the US, plus a year in the French countryside as a kid. Now, I'm a happily married mom of four and I love pouring all my fun experiences into books that will hopefully help other families make lovely memories together too. I've published 3 solo non-fiction travel books and contributed to 1 anthology (with one author representing each of the 12 Midwest states) and I have some really exciting fiction and non-fiction projects in the works for the future!

You can visit my "about me" page for more information on me as a person and blogger, or read on for more information about my books! Thanks for being here!

Surprising I-29: A guide to great little places and local lore along one of America's underappreciated highways

Surprising I-29 is the first ever guide to the I-29 corridor. It's full of fun finds within 29 miles of Interstate 29, from Kansas City to North Dakota near the Canadian border, and I think you'll love finding new places to stop and stories to tell next time you drive on I-29. It's available on Amazon (affiliate link to Surprising I-29) and at local stores including Sioux City Gifts, Book People, and the Sioux City Public Museum.

This was my first book, published by Reedy Press, and officially released September 15th, 2020! 

Reedy's 100 Things series turns to local writers in dozens of cities around the nation to find out what locals view as the must-see places to eat, shop, and play in their area, and I'm so excited to have written the Siouxland edition. It will be most useful as a guidebook to visitors and new residents to our area, but I hope even long-time Siouxland residents will find new corners of Siouxland to Explore.

  • Sioux City Gifts on Pierce Street 
  • Book People on Hamilton Blvd 
  • Jolly Time Koated Kernels
  • My publisher, Reedy Press has copies available to order online
  • Amazon has copies available to order online
  • Barnes & Noble has copies available online and in store at the Southern Hills Mall.

One of the best parts of living right in the middle of some of the world's best farmland is access to amazing pumpkin patches!

Here are the best pumpkin patches in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota within a 2-hour drive from downtown Sioux City, listed by distance from downtown Sioux City: 2025 update currently in progress.

The Ranch KC offers family-friendly KC BBQ in Belton, MO

UPDATE: The Ranch KC closed in spring 2026. I am leaving my review up for now in case people are still curious about what it was like. You can check out more of my KC faves here. On a recent trip to Kansas City, I had the opportunity to visit a new restaurant, The Ranch KC, and I was so impressed I wanted to share about it with all of you! My former hometown of Kansas City is one of my favorite travel destinations, not just because I love seeing my family and friends there, but also because there are great places to play, shop, eat, and explore. And The Ranch KC is definitely going on my list of great little places to eat in the KC area for future trips too! The Ranch KC is at its heart a barbeque restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere and lots of kid-friendly options, so I definitely recommend it as a great way to get some KC BBQ, especially if you're visiting the area with kids.  Where is The Ranch KC? The Ranch KC is located at 17207 S US Hwy 71 in Belton, ...
