It’s a beautiful day in Minnesota and I’m heading to the ballpark to see the Twins take on the Indians. Bring on the hot dogs and peanuts, please. This is going to be a great afternoon, I just know it. Source: The Sports Bank

House Plans April 27, 2012 3 Comments

If that coral color doesn’t say ‘Monday pep’ to you then I don’t know what else I can do! I’m bouncing back from my little slump yesterday (thanks for listening) and am thrilled to see that Friday has arrived and flown by. Now we can dive head first into the weekend. I’m hoping to spend [...]

Biggest Project Yet April 23, 2012 4 Comments

I’ve been meaning to share some incredibly exciting news that I alluded to here weeks ago: The Red Head and I bought a house! (That’s not it above, so please don’t run around the Twin Cities area knocking on every house numbered 812… you will not find me. And I will be creeped out.) In [...]

Weekend Mode April 20, 2012 No Comments

My mind has been in weekend mode all day and it’s about time the clock caught up. I’m checking out for the weekend, heading to see a band play with friends and hoping to make some major dents in big projects over the next couple of days. Wish me luck and have a great weekend! [...]

To Do’s and Don’t March 23, 2012 No Comments

Chocolate Chip Heaven? March 8, 2012 No Comments

Remember last week when I casually mentioned that I might throw a bag of mysterious Christmas candy cane kisses into a chocolate cookie recipe? Well, that was the best decision ever. Using this cookie recipe, these stale kisses, a cup of chocolate chips and a large knife for chopping, I created my favorite cookies to [...]

Neat Space January 4, 2012 2 Comments

With my birthday and the holidays, these past six months since I moved to MN I have managed to accumulate a lot of stuff. I’m to the point right now where I’m not even opening new things, I’m just immediately pack them up in anticipation of moving this summer. I’m grateful for the gifts I’ve [...]

Cocktail Party December 16, 2011 4 Comments

In a stark contrast from last week, the past five days have fluttered right by and I’m so glad it’s the weekend. We’ve got about 24 hours until 20+ of our friends head on over for a holiday soiree. I’m putting on my hostess hat (and my new dress!) and doing my best to crank [...]
