    Turkey Tuesday: Turkey Meatballs with Cheesy Polenta

    November 8, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Yesterday was stressful at the office. Well, if I’m being honest, the entire last week plus yesterday was stressful. The details would bore you. However, have you ever had one of those weeks where it felt like everyday you woke up and something new blew up in your face? And…

    A LuLaRoe Kind of Day

    November 7, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Okay, so my sister has informed me that pretty much every day is a LuLaRoe day for me. I can’t lie – she’s right! I can’t stop wearing my LuLaRoe – it’s so comfy and fun and just brightens my day.  As my onboarding date as a LuLaRoe fashion consultant…

    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…
