WIAW #82: Weekend Fun
I went out of town again last weekend. I know, right? Does anyone else feel like it takes awhile to get back to normal life after being away a couple of days? I’m pretty sure I’ve been out of town the majority of the weekends in the past three months. This leaves me feeling scatterbrained…
Rolling with the Punches
I spent a lot of time worrying and stressing this weekend even though there were many marvelous things happening. I was somehow blinded by:what I wanted–right then and there,what wasn’t working,cleaning up messes,unanticipated shenanigans late into the night when I had articles due,a blog transfer that isn’t going so smoothly…mainly due to the fact that…
WIAW #80: Voodoo Tacos and Sweet Blueberry Almonds
I cut off last week’s Two Weddings and a Birthday WIAW (or What I Ate Wednesday) because it was getting suuuper long, but I left out some tasty details I really wanted to share. PS Make sure to check out Jenn’s WIAW party going on right now (but after you check out this post!)! The…
Friday Five: New Lake + Other Randoms
How about a little something called Friday Five. Where I string five random thoughts together about my life as of late and call it a post! 1. I found a new lake! I know, in Minnesota of all places. (It’s the land of 10,000 lakes in case you didn’t know.) I finally went out for…
WIAW #79 Two Weddings and a Birthday
Is it really Wednesday?? It has been a crazy few days! This past weekend Dave and I made the 6-7 hour trip back to Omaha, Nebraska. For two weddings and a birthday. Dave was in one of the weddings, so it made the weekend that much busier. Friday night we attended Sam and Claire’s wedding…
WIAW #76 Farmer’s Market Fun + #HLS Excitement
I have SO MUCH to do to prepare for #HLS13 (Healthy Living Summit 2013), plus I already posted my thoughts on 9-11, but when preparing for a blogging conference, one can’t help but think about their blog!!Or am I the only one? [If you are attending your first blogging conference and are a bit nervous,…
9-11 Where Were You?
When tragic events occur, or when we are reminded of horrific event in the past by their anniversary, it’s hard to know what to say. Or what not to say. Do I bring it up? Can we talk about it? Will I look like I’m just trying to fit in like everyone else with their…
M+M Butter Cookie Bars + Exciting News!
After last week’s Butter vs Margarine post (with lots of pros and cons on both butter and margarine), you probably know that I’m cool with having butter in moderation. Which is good, because these bars taste buttery and delicious. After having Becky’s s’mores cookie dough bars a few weeks ago, I could not get them…
I am a Dork: Food Network Star Prediction
Oh my goodness I missed all of you this past week! I decided to take a week off from the personal blog to get into the groove of my new online writing job(s) and to get organized–which I’m happy to say I did use my time off wisely! More on that later, though.—-I am often…
