Current temperature in Minnesota as I write this: 41 degrees. And raining. While the moisture is welcome for farmers (and gardeners), I am not a big fan of these March-like temperatures. (Oddly, I think March was warmer than April. Go figure.) And it’s been like this all week. But hope springs eternal, always, and it […] Read more…
The Young Man
I had a moment last night. I was sitting in the piano room, listening to Joe practice his percussion and I looked over at him and just, well … sigh. Who is this young man who is nearly as tall as me? Who looks so grown up? Who is working so intently on learning this […] Read more…
Weekend Snaps | Silliness
Oh Sunday night, we meet again. I’m still relishing our mini Fixer Upper family room, perhaps even more so now because I scored a great deal on the cutest curtains at Target and I found a fabulous coffee table at the Buffalo Nickel Antique Barn over the weekend. The curtains are a lovely bluish-gray color […] Read more…
My Ideal Morning
My ideal morning? I just may have had it. (Okay, not counting if I was on the beach in Hawaii or enjoying pain au chocolat in Paris or a pint of Harp in Ireland.) Simple pleasures. And a free morning to enjoy them. That’s all it takes. A mint condition mocha cooler from Caribou Coffee. […] Read more…
Weekend Snaps | Toddler in the House!

We took matters into our own hands and basically told my sister and brother-in-law that we planned to “steal” Morgan on Saturday […] Read more…

Oh my word, I absolutely can’t stand it when I don’t have the time to blog regularly. If you follow me on Facebook, then you may have caught this picture I took last week – captioned, “What I feel like when I don’t have time to blog!” And it’s true. I love to write and […] Read more…
Happiness is …
You know what makes me happy right now? The Good Wife – Good grief do I love this show. It’s smart, funny, emotional … and the music is kick ass. I watch very few other network television shows, but I rarely miss this one. Bitmoji – Have you checked out this free app? My coworker tuned me […] Read more…
Weekend Snaps | Birthday Boy
Now that I’ve spent exactly 73 minutes (give or take) packing for a 4-day business trip to Atlanta, I think I need to quit obsessing about my wardrobe choices. Success for this particular packing experience = bringing a 2nd pair of boots and an extra pair of ballet flats in my carry-on. I just can’t […] Read more…
