About Me


a woman with long dark hair and blue eyes in a red dress smiles



Hi! I'm Lindsay Hindman and I write the Siouxland Families Blog. I'm a Sioux City mom of three and a graduate of Morningside College here in Sioux City. While I was in college, I fell in love with my husband Zach, whose family has been in Siouxland for generations. We got married the summer after graduation, and lived in Des Moines while he attended grad school. Then, we moved back to Sioux City after he graduated and are proud to raise our kids here, two sons and a daughter! 

I'm currently writing a book, 100 Things to Do in Sioux City & Siouxland Before You Die with Reedy Press, scheduled for release Sept 2020!

When I'm not writing, I love hiking, doing crafts, and baking, especially cookies. You can reach me by e-mail at SiouxlandFamiliesBlog@gmail.com.

When I first started this post, the nearest outbreak of COVID-19 was one family in Omaha! Now, we have seen nearly everything in our tri-state area closed to try to flatten the curve, and the number of cases skyrocketed higher than many people thought possible, yet mercifully lower than many of the projection models.  I did a major update on this post in June 2020 and a small update in July 2020, and it will now reflect what is re-opening in our area! I will try to keep it up to date, so check back for updates, but I do not run any of these organizations, and I encourage you to seek out their individual websites and social media to confirm c
