I can’t believe it’s Sunday night already. And it’s weird because I think I’m a little sad that Teacher Man goes back to school tomorrow. Usually I’m ready to get back to the structure and routine of the school year. Somehow tonight, though, I’m mourning how quickly the summer went by. It was a great summer, […] Read more…
I’m just going to leave these two photos right here and share some zinnia trivia with you: These varieties are why zinnias are among my top 5 favorite flowers. At the rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding, we had arrangements of zinnias on each table. If I owned my own retail store, which would be […] Read more…
I live in Buffalo, Minnesota, a community of about 15,000 people that’s a short drive to the suburbs of Minneapolis. I don’t consider Buffalo a suburb in the true sense, however; it’s a town with a long history and its own personality.

However, flashback three days and I was in Hawaii, gazing in awe for the thousandth time at Ka’anapali Beach, feeling the 85 degree sunshine on my face, snorkeling with Nemo fish […] Read more…
You may not hear from me for a while but I have a good excuse. It’s called vacation. We’re in Hawaii – Teacher Man and Joe, along with my parents. Lots of memory making! Today it’s all about Kaanapali Beach in Lahaina, Maui. We’ll also do some sightseeing when we’re here. I’ll catch you […] Read more…
This is what you would call a “semi-guest post” – in that, my mom made these Turkey Sausage and Rice Stuffed Peppers a few days ago and took all the pictures while I’m doing all the writing. It’s a team effort for turkey! Ha – okay, sorry, not sorry. 😉 Anyway … my mom makes […] Read more…
