Today brought a 4 a.m. wake-up call so I’m ready for a glass of vino and an evening with my sister and her new pup! It’s been a busy week and we’ve got a busy weekend of birthday celebrations ahead. I’ll catch you on the other side for a lengthy weekend wrap up. Cheers!

Oh man, I disappeared there for a bit this week. Sorry, friends. A classic case of booked social evenings, freelance work and never-ending house projects. But I’m back just in time to sign off for a weekend of fun with my mom while she’s in town! It’s shaping up to be a beautiful few days and I cannot wait. Sending some sunshine and good weekend vibes your way as well. Enjoy!

After the weather blunder last weekend I’ve postponed my Chicago trip and am hitting the road this afternoon! I’m ready for 36 hours with family, friends and some serious podcasting on the way there. Catch you Sunday!

Despite the traffic jam we experienced yesterday, heading to Chicago this weekend was the perfect post-Black Friday therapy. There was an impressive brunch spread, an abundance of family traditions, an over-used selfie stick and lots of laughs. Also, wine. Plenty of wine. I’m hoping for more of all of those things sooner rather than later and hope you had a wonderful holiday as well!
Shout out to my nephew who snapped this pic with his finger covering half the lens. I love it!

My weekend starts now and I’m ready! There’s a little sporting event in town (ha!) and since I married into a family of golfers the Ryder Cup has become a must-see! I’m donning patriotic gear, grabbing a few cocktails and embracing the country club lifestyle for a few days. After that, it’s back to reality with some more house projects (painting all. the. things.) but a very exciting, spontaneous visit from my mom too! This is going to be a great weekend, I can just feel it. Hope you have the same!

Yesterday was a smashing success around here, friends. The giant grey dog, Drake, celebrated his third year of life (at what age will he start to CHILL OUT?!), we closed on our new house and moved a trailer full of stuff without killing anyone or each other. Pretty successful, no? We capped off the night with two pints of Ben & Jerry’s and a RedBox. Now, we tackle moving the rest of our stuff from storage, tearing down walls and the serious home to-do list. I’m going to be documenting all the fun with the #EricksonReno on Instagram. Be sure to follow along!

How amazing is this photo my sister took up in Door County? The Red Head and I are hitting the road at the CRACK OF DAWN tomorrow to meet her and the rest of my family in Wisconsin for a couple days of cheese, beer, beaches and merriment. After that we’re driving south to Chicago for a wedding of a dear friend. We sure know how to schedule an action-packed weekend, eh? Catch you when I’m back next week!

Travel lessons the Ericksons learned last night:
So, needless to say, it was an eventful night of travel around these parts! But after a relaxing few days in Myrtle Beach I’m back in Minnesota putting some final touches on an exciting project and catching up on everything else we put on pause the last few days. Though hectic, it’s good to be back!

Well, friends, I’m signing off for the next week or so. The warm (SUPER warm) shores of Myrtle Beach are calling my name. I am so excited to not set an alarm, tackle a good read and soak up the sun (and, likely, a few too many cocktails). Catch you on the flip side!

It’s here! It’s finally Friday and my cousins are on their way to Minnesota for the best summer holiday in all the land! Plans include boating on Lake Minnetonka, soaking up some serious swimming + sun time, jet skiing, lazy breakfasts, walks to town and some s’more cooking. It’s going to be glorious and I am so, so excited! I’m signing off until Tuesday to enjoy every second. Hope you’re able to unplug and do the same. Have a great and safe Fourth of July!
