    Weekend Snaps | This is November in Minnesota?

    November 6, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Hey friends, how was your weekend? Aside from listening to my crabby tweener attempt to practice his piano right now (it’s not going well), my weekend was pretty stellar. I had a practice run at girls’ weekend when my sister-in-law, niece, and mom came for lunch and some local shopping…

    LuLaRoe: My Why

    October 31, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Earlier in October, I signed the paperwork to be a LuLaRoe Fashion Consultant, which I announced in this blog post. Since then, I have been patiently (sort of) waiting to get my official “onboarding” phone call, expected about 8 weeks or so after that initial paperwork was submitted. I also…

    Weekend Snaps | Ready To Run + Family Time

    October 30, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Happy Sunday night, friends! I’m sitting in our family room, gas fireplace turned on, soaking in the last few hours of the weekend. Sigh. Most of my photos this weekend are from Saturday, when my sister came over and the two of us ran the “Boofalo Halloween Fun Run” 5k…

    Date Weekend

    October 25, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Hey friends, It’s 44 degrees and raining out right now. Rather than commiserate about the weather (as I know this is just the beginning …), I’ll highlight a few of my favorite photos from my “date weekend” with Teacher Man. Both Joe and Teacher Man were off from school Thursday…

    The Fight for Animal Agriculture | Who Wins?

    October 22, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    (Lara’s note – I wrote this blog post for Agriculture.com and am reprinting it here with the permission of the Meredith Corporation.) I have a teeny little confession to make. I think I’m burned out on writing about all the misconceptions and mistruths about agriculture. Those of you who know…

    Fall Colors (Or … I {Heart} Fall)

    October 20, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Fall colors are calling me. I’ll be the first to admit I’m a summer kind of girl. I love the heat. I love wearing sundresses and sandals and not having to schlep a jacket everywhere I go. A beach trip? I’m there.  However, I will say there is nothing quite…

    Turkey Tuesday: Crockpot Golden Turkey Stroganoff

    October 19, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Okay, so I’m a day late on the Turkey Tuesday post this week. Welcome to my life right now. After work and after I take care of all the family things, I’ve been pretty focused on figuring out what I need to be doing to set up my new LuLaRoe…

    Weekend Snaps | The Last of the Garden Color

    October 16, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Let’s be real here. It’s October 16 in Minnesota and while winter is “technically” a couple of months away, I think we all know November is creeping ever closer and it’s about time to put the gardens to bed. What’s amazing about this fall, however, is how my perennials and…
