It’s raining here in Minneapolis. The weather people are saying it will quickly turn to snow, that we’ll wake up with a fresh 8-10 inches of it in the morning. This has been April in Minnesota this year. Perhaps not far out of the ordinary, but by this time of the year, we are all Continue Reading
Sometimes, after sifting through my social media feeds, I have this feeling that I should be doing crazy awesome stuff ALL THE TIME!!! Does that ever happen to you? I mean, everyone else is, right? That person is traveling across the world, this person’s going on a sweet climbing trip, over there is someone who Continue Reading
Last week, Katie of Adventure Inspired wrote up her reverse bucket list, a list that looks back at things she *has* accomplished, instead of only looking forward. I loved the idea so much that I decided to write up one of my own. What a great way to reflect on the awesome things that I’ve Continue Reading
After finishing my Whole 30, I was pretty sure that I would want to do nothing but binge on cheese. And bread. And sugar. And chai lattes. Instead, something wonderful has happened.

This is Teko. He’s had a bit of a rough Fall; his life completely changed in the course of one day, and now he’s permanently living with us. It was an adjustment to get used to a second cat, but he’s wormed his way into our hearts very quickly. It breaks my heart that we Continue Reading
This is the first of a few posts I’ll be writing on the topic of fear and anxiety. Something that I, and many of us, have had a lot of dealings with. I am not an expert or professionally trained in any way, I’m just relating my experiences and the processes I’ve found that have Continue Reading
We are having a stunning show of colors this fall. Check this out:
It’s been an eventful few weeks here. My normal schedule has taken a backseat to more important things that needed our attention. Family comes first.
