Last night we had Joe’s middle school’s open house, where I found out my son – the 7th grader – will be learning to cook this first quarter. Woot woot! I think I am way more excited about this than he is. And yes, I could be the one teaching him his way around the kitchen […] Read more…
Here we are on the last Sunday in August. How did THAT happen? Teacher Man goes back to school tomorrow (it’s workshop week) and Joe has just one week of vacation left. While I know I will eventually be happy to get back on a regular schedule, I don’t think I’m quite ready for this yet. Not that […] Read more…

I think it’s due in large part to the Sun Dried Tomato Turkey Breast from Jennie-O Turkey Store. I can’t begin to tell you how much we are loving […] Read more…
A few completely random points I want to make before I dive into the photos I took over the weekend: The mosquitos are awful. Beyond awful. As in, we can’t even be outside at any time of the day or evening without getting rudely assaulted – unless we wear bug spray. Which is all good […] Read more…
I just wanted to share this. Because this is what a Minnesota summer night is all about. This is what we do when it’s 90 degrees out; we ride our bikes between two corn fields. And this is what I will miss in January. Lara Read more…
