If there’s one thing that gets me in a tizzy, it’s when leaders make ill-informed food choices for the rest of us just because they happen to think it’s better for our world.

Happy Sunday night … and the night before the 2018-19 school year starts! While I can’t believe my baby is headed to high school, Joe has assured me he is ready to start the new school year. His binder is ready and lunch is packed, complete with his favorite chocolate chip cookies. I shared this […] Read more…
Full disclosure: I write my (almost) annual Minnesota State Fair post more for my historical record than anything else. 🙂 It’s been tradition since Joe was old enough to appreciate it for the two of us to spend a day at the fair, and I want to remember these photos, these moments. This year, my […] Read more…
