Mom, Wife, Thrift Queen, Hashtag Addict. You'll find a little bit of everything here.
Well. This hasn’t happened to me in quite some time. I’m suffering a bout of writers block. I suppose the fact that we’ve been living through Headcold Hell has something to do with that a little bit, not too much has been going on and we’ve been mostly hunkered down at home. And because we haven’t been doing anything then that leaves me with no
We’ve had a WEEK my friends. My poor Oliver got struck with a nasty cold virus last weekend that has drug on through the entire week and has managed to go through each of us. Nate was out of town for three days on a business trip so even though I was also sick, I had to step up and be Supermom. Honestly it wasn’t
The single most versatile object in my closet has to be my chambray shirt. I don’t even know how many outfits I’ve made with it over time. When I saw that this month’s Mom Style Remix with Anne and Jenn was a chambray shirt, I knew I’d have a few different outfits to share! First we have this Pinned It, Spinned It look I did
Well, I’m more than halfway through the year and not quite halfway through my 2016 Reading Challenge, but I have crossed another book off my list at the very least – a book published this year. As I have previously mentioned, I just read It’s Ok To Laugh, Crying Is Cool Too by Nora McInerny Purmort. Nora is a fellow Minnesotan and she has been
Another month gone by and it’s time for Currently with Anne and…wait a minute….I’m the co-host this month! So it’s Currently with Anne and Me! I’m so excited to be co-hosting and I can’t wait to see what you’re all Currently up to. Here are the Current happenings in our world! Trying – I’m going to try out a Stitch Fix style clothing box that
Yes, yes, I know, the Autumnal Equinox is not until September 23 and therefore we have weeks left to enjoy “summer”. But as far as I am concerned, September = FALL. It was not a bad summer by any stretch of the imagination. But I’m kind of ready to bid it adieu. It’s been wet and muggy and BUGGY. Those skeeters have been nastier this
And just like that my little boy is a preschooler. Ollie started Montessori school this week. It’s been an adjustment for all of us, but every day is getting a little bit better. Nate and I researched a ton and found the program we liked best. It’s held in a church not far from my parents house and my work, so it’s super close and
We had an absolute blast at the Minnesota State Fair on Friday! It had to be one of the top ten weather days of the entire summer, we seriously lucked out! This year we chose to do the free Park and Ride bus instead of driving to the Fairgrounds and parking there. Nate and I always used to do the bus, but the first couple
So if you haven’t already figured it out, I love the State Fair. It seems like it should be something I would hate – crowds normally make me claustrophobic. Sweating is not my favorite. I have a small appetite. So why the heck do I love it so much? I think it’s because it’s something special I’ve shared with Nate pretty much every year we’ve
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend. We did, in spite of a little rain! Saturday found us on a little date day adventure. We got tickets at the last minute to Crayfest at the Smack Shack in the North Loop of Minneapolis. It was an outdoor event, so we were a little nervous when it was super rainy on Saturday morning,
