Hands down, one of my favorite business trips of the year for Minnesota Turkey is my annual trek to Washington DC in July. My boss and I take a group of our leaders – mostly farmers and sometimes a student or two – to our nation’s capitol to participate in the National Turkey Federation Summer […] Read more…
I have just spent two days without wearing any makeup. None at all. And we have had absolutely no schedule. I even had two naps yesterday. Yes. Two naps. Bliss. Total bliss. My son has probably had too much screen time – but he has helped me with watering the gardens without any complaint and […] Read more…
Oh my goodness. I actually cannot believe I haven’t blogged since after Memorial Day weekend. I knew June was crazy busy but I never purposely intend to ignore my blog that long – it just makes me sad when that happens! June was full.

I most recently served them with an alfredo-marinara sauce over penne pasta, sprinkled with Asiago cheese. Delish! But these would also […] Read more…
I should’ve gone for a run tonight, but my mind wasn’t into it and my body felt tired. Rather than fight it, I decided to walk instead to help clear the clutter from my day. And you know what? My eyes suddenly opened up to my surroundings and realized my little community has a lot […] Read more…
