Minnesota Lake Life | Labor Day Weekend

Hey friends, how’s your weekend going? After a long nap this afternoon (um, over two hours, maybe?), I’m lazing around in my comfy LuLaRoe leggings (of course), working on some laundry and considering some easy leftovers for supper.

Family, Food & Fun on the Fourth

First of all, did you notice the alliteration in my blog title? I know – I love it too! (#GrammarNerd) So it was a long 4th of July holiday weekend and in a crazy bit of good weather karma, the sun came out and the temperatures got warmer as the weekend went on. I happen to love […] Read more…

This weekend we spent part of our time at “The Farm”, where I grew up. This is where my parents have lived for over four decades, and where my brother and his family also live. My parents built their house while I was a baby and we moved there from town when I was about […] Read more…

Staycation = Simplicity

While I am still a little worked up about the whole Panera Bread (#PluckEZChicken) thing, I have truly tried to be “on vacation” this week and give myself a break. (My Panera Bread post is here – and a follow up from Dairy Carrie is here, plus a spot-on blog post from a veterinarian about Panera’s […] Read more…

Monday Staycation – In Rewind

I am on vacation this week, and I have instructed the office not to call me unless it is a dire emergency.  Since I work with very smart and understanding coworkers, I am sure they will heed my plea. (Seriously. I have awesome coworkers.) I need this week off. We don’t have big plans and, […] Read more…

Motherhood is a Funny Thing, Sometimes.

Motherhood is a funny thing, sometimes. Last night, Teacher Man and Joe took me out to eat for Mother’s Day and we reminisced with Joe about what life was like initially after we brought him home from the hospital. Joy, happiness, anxiety and … the complete opposite of just about every single thought I had […] Read more…
