    Weekend Randomness

    April 7, 2019 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Here we are on another Sunday night and weirdly, I feel like I have all this energy right now. I have no idea why – just that I was pretty productive today and I hope this carries over to the week ahead. Friday evening Teacher Man and I headed over…

    Welcome, December

    December 2, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Welcome to December, friends! I officially ushered in the month by getting a little holiday shopping done, baking up some cranberry cinnamon sweet buns (recipe coming soon!), and watching my fair share of Hallmark Christmas movies.  Buffalo has a pretty awesome little kitchen shop in town – The Abundant Kitchen.…

    Slacking … and Sunday!

    August 19, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Okay friends, I have totally been slacking on blog posts lately. I thought summer was supposed to give us more time for fun stuff? I felt like this weekend literally buzzed by on double speed. I think it must be because the countdown to school is really beginning in earnest.…

    Weekend Snaps | All About MJ

    August 6, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    As I sat down to write this post and I looked at all my photos from the weekend, it was clear that this weekend was all about MJ … that’s Miss Morgan, our 3-year-old niece.  Oh wait, 3-and-a-HALF, thank you very much! 😉  She spent Friday evening through Sunday morning…

    Weekend Snaps | In No Particular Order …

    April 2, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    And so this weekend kicked off my spring break – and the next five workdays off! I’m not going anywhere. (Well, unless you count running errands about town.) And I am mostly okay with this. Sure, I hate Facebook right now because everyone is posting pictures from the beaches of…

    Weekend Snaps | The Last of the Garden Color

    October 16, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Let’s be real here. It’s October 16 in Minnesota and while winter is “technically” a couple of months away, I think we all know November is creeping ever closer and it’s about time to put the gardens to bed. What’s amazing about this fall, however, is how my perennials and…

    Weekend Snaps | Around Home

    May 15, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m on the couch, typing this little weekend update on my laptop with Joe hanging out next to me and Earl the Pug at my feet. I’d say that’s just about a perfect Sunday night. (Oh, and there was ice cream. Always ice cream.) The weather felt more like late…

    Weekend Snaps | November in Minnesota

    November 15, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I have no idea why I am so completely tired tonight. Like collapse on the couch, barely-keeping-my-eyelids open tired. (Although Earl the pug did wake me up at 5:57 a.m. when he started roaming around our bedroom, making his usual pug snorting and heavy breathing sounds, apparently believing – and…
