So Many Showers
March 20, 2018
The last two weekends, the Red Head, babies and I have been completely blown away by the generosity of the people in our lives. There was a shower in MN with friends and family from across the country, a Beyonce-themed shower with friends that have become like family and a shower in Chicago (photos above) that brought together people from all stages of my life. It was really humbling to be surrounded by these people and feel the love and excitement as we prepare for this big (!!) adventure ahead. I’m not sure how we got so lucky but I can’t wait for the Erickson Twins to meet each and every one of these amazing characters. But not for many more weeks, please…

Chicago Shower
March 16, 2018
I’m packing up, grabbing the big grey dog and heading to Chicago this weekend for a shower with my hometown friends and family. I am so, so excited to see everyone and hopefully they’re not too bummed to miss out on green beer…
Catch you next week!

The Showers Begin
March 9, 2018
One thing is certain: our house is not ready for two babies to arrive. BUT, we’re doing our best and after the next couple weekends of baby showers I’m sure we’ll feel a lot more prepared, potentially a bit overwhelmed and definitely perplexed as to how two small humans can require so much stuff. If I had to guess, I think we’ll also be feeling insanely lucky and loved. I’ve got two showers this weekend and another next weekend so the fun is just getting started! See you on the other side, friends.

Slip Slips
March 7, 2018
I’ve become a person that wears slippers at home 90% of the time. I’m going to go back a few generations and blame my grandpa for the influence. He always wore his ‘slip slips’ around the house and I think he was definitely onto something.

Painting Partner
March 2, 2018
For some reason my sister is spending her free weekend driving to Minnesota to paint, spackle, assemble baby stuff and put up with our chaos. Not quite sure what’s wrong with her but I sure am thankful!

Birthday Weekend
January 19, 2018
This weekend brings a milestone birthday for a very special lady in my life so the family is packing up our winter gear and heading to Wisconsin for a good ol’ fashion get together! I’ve packed board games, extra layers, snacks, movies, some books and maybe some nonalcoholic wine (cheers!). I’ll catch you after our valiant return!

Gingerbread Weekend
December 8, 2017
We’ve reached the time of year where I feel the need to post a tree photo as often as possible. It just feels right and I refuse to fight it. Do your weekend plans involve a Christmas tree? The only Christmas tree I’m worrying about this weekend is a gingerbread one. I’m building a gingerbread house with some cousins! I’ll likely eat more candy than help but it will be a blast nonetheless. Whatever you’re up to, have a great time, friends!

Tradition
November 27, 2017
The tree at our home has been lit for a week already but we had a other very important trees to tend to this past weekend in Chicago. For over 20 years my family and I have spent the Saturday after Thanksgiving making ornaments out of birdseed, marshmallow, peanut butter, oranges, and more and then decorating a couple trees (one large, one small) at my dad’s cemetery. It’s easily one of my favorite traditions of the season and I’m so glad we were able to make the trip again this year. Hope those critters are feasting well right about now!

Long Weekend
September 1, 2017
Anyone else readyyyy for this long weekend? My mom and sister are heading north for the weekend and we’ve got tons of options to keep us busy for a few days. State Fair? Lake Minnetonka? Farmer’s Market? Walker Sculpture Garden? The world is our oyster! I’m soaking up every second of this last summer weekend so I’ll catch you next week for our regular scheduled programming. Have a safe and happy holiday, friends!
