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…
I think I can feel my age tonight. After spending 4 days in Washington DC and then another 3 days traveling to/from Iowa City for a family get-together, I am officially beat. If you could see me now, I am sharing the couch with Joe while he is on his iPad and I’ve got HGTV […] Read more…
Okay, so what day is it exactly? I completely lost track when I was in Puerto Rico a week ago for the National Turkey Federation Convention. (Don’t hate me because I just wrote that. Admit it – you would be the same way.) I got back late Sunday night and then hit the ground running […] Read more…
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…

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…
I think it’s fair to say I have never (in my whole entire life, actually) wanted a spring break vacation more than this year. The day we left to begin our travels to the Florida Keys, it was barely 14 degrees with a frigid northwest wind – on March 22, mind you. The wind, in fact, taunted us […] Read more…
Note: I wrote this post last Sunday but didn’t have a chance to post it when I arrived in Florida. The picture below is of Joe and his cousin, Audree, not too long after we checked into our resort. 🙂 As I write this, I am traveling to the Florida Keys with Teacher Man and […] Read more…
I feel like I am way too tired to write coherently tonight, but I want to share a few photos from my completely fabulous girls’ weekend. I’ve been getting together with my cousin, Christine, every November for the past 15 years – she lives in Iowa and this is our one time each year that […] Read more…
