    Our Mini Fixer Upper

    April 1, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s no secret amongst my family that I love the HGTV show Fixer Upper. I think Joanna Gaines’ design eye and flair is brilliant  and I wish she could come visit and organize a re-do of our entire house – for free, if possible. 😉   But since she’s in Waco…

    Favorite Spring Dresses

    March 30, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m switching it up today and sharing a few of my favorite spring/summer dresses. I’ve been home on my little staycation the past few days, and since it’s been a gray, cool, rainy day, I did some perusing on some of my favorite shopping websites. And by the way, I…

    Turkey Tuesday: Turkey Mac and Cheese Bread Bowl

    March 29, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    So here’s the dealio: it’s spring break at our house this week and Teacher Man decided it was time to refinish the butcher block countertops in our kitchen. I’m fine with that, of course, but it basically puts my kitchen out of commission for a few days. All my countertop…

    Creamy Ham Ball Spread

    March 28, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    When you’re known as “Minnesota’s Gobble Gal” on social media, you might think it’s odd that I feature a recipe that calls for ham. However, a few things: While turkey accounts for the vast majority of protein we eat at home, we do switch it up and feature pork, beef, and…

    Weekend Snaps: Happy Easter!

    March 27, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    We’re back after a busy weekend that started at my sister and brother-in-law’s new house, helping them unpack, and ended at the farm for Easter.  I’m not going to lie. We got home at 5 pm tonight and I was in my pajamas in something like 15 minutes.  It definitely…

    My Ideal Morning

    March 24, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    My ideal morning? I just may have had it. (Okay, not counting if I was on the beach in Hawaii or enjoying pain au chocolat in Paris or a pint of Harp in Ireland.) Simple pleasures. And a free morning to enjoy them. That’s all it takes. A mint condition…

    Turkey Tuesday: Egg and Turkey Sausage Bake

    March 22, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It feels soooo good to be back to blogging this week. (Can you tell? I’ve written three posts, three days in a row!)  With Easter coming up this weekend and some turkey breakfast sausage taking up space in my freezer, I figure this #TurkeyTuesday is the perfect time to showcase a…

    Weekend Snaps | Toddler in the House!

    March 21, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    So I didn’t really hibernate all weekend (see yesterday’s blog post).  We actually decided a week or so ago that it had been way too long since we’ve seen our niece/goddaughter, Miss Morgan. We took matters into our own hands and basically told my sister and brother-in-law that we planned…
