As tiny humans are apt to do, little G decided to watch Frozen for the 847th time the other day. We’re finally soaking up some gorgeous summer weather here in Minnesota, thus he needed a reminder of ice covered fjords. He’s five. He hasn’t figured out that if he just waits 12 weeks, Elsa-esque weather…
I have always been a bit envious of people who do not have a sweet tooth. There are folks in this world who are not dessert people. I am not one of those people. I not only bake frequently, I taste test at every step. I know you’re thinking “even raw cookie dough”? Yes. That…
We had some classic spring Minnesota weather here this past weekend.Seventy-five and gorgeous on Saturday… and then Sunday rolled in with wind and a thirty-degree temperature drop. You’d think I would be incredibly sturdy after living here my whole life. I’m not. I am cold constantly. I have been known to turn our fireplace on…
I was really close to my mom’s mom growing up. The Bear Household (yep, their real last name) made for great visits for a quartet of granddaughters. And in my completely biased opinion, our Nana Bear was funny and fun, and basically the best of the best. She loved – and made a big deal out…

There is actually a story that my neighbors all love to tell about…
Birthday gifts can be a tricky thing. Because of that, we’ve unintentionally settled on themes in our house. You know the type. Becoming pseudo-famous for a particular style of gift? For a couple of years, my husband went through a “buy your wife beautiful purses” phase. True story. I get compliments on my handbags all…
Our house divided and conquered this weekend. My husband took our oldest to a basketball tournament, and I held down the fort with the two littles. For the record, my 11-year-old would like it officially noted that he is no longer one of “the littles.” He is nearly my height and finds the title deeply…
Mmmmm. Caramel. It really has always been one of my favorite things on this earth. I used to go through bags of those Werther’s candies when I was in college. Back when I could eat anything without consequence. When I would tell people I would only “go out for a run” if I was being chased…
