Welcome to Friday, everyone! Or as we say around here … the 3rd straight weekend of Joe’s birthday. It’s a bit ridiculous, actually, but because of various schedules and other activities, we’ve already had two birthday celebrations and now this weekend he’s FINALLY having a good friend of his over for a birthday sleepover. After […] Read more…
Is anyone else literally shocked that we’re heading into Labor Day weekend? Weird! And somewhat sad (good-bye summer) … although I must admit I think I may be getting to the point now that I’m ready to get back to a normal schedule. It’s State Fair time in Minnesota right now, so Joe and I […] Read more…
Happy Friday, everyone! I just had to write up a quick post to tell you that my blogger friend, Sara, over at It’s Mom Sense is writing an entire series on “Breaking Down the Labels” for food and this week she focuses on eggs!

What does this mean? 1) I have a mountainous to-do list of details to finalize before next week in order to be ready for 150+ of my turkey people to descend upon a central Minnesota lake resort – ready […] Read more…
Happy June is Turkey Lovers’ Month, people! And as luck would have it, today I was able to spend most of my time at a turkey farm, taking photos and videos for an upcoming event we have going on for the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association. My coworker, Erica, is part of a fourth-generation family farm […] Read more…
Happy Monday, all! It was a gray, dreary, windy, cold and rainy spring day here – barely surpassing 40 degrees, not that I noticed or anything. The only saving grace on this ugly day is the fact that I can actually use my favorite umbrella! Of course, the real (read: lazy) pug in our house […] Read more…
