Full disclosure: I write my (almost) annual Minnesota State Fair post more for my historical record than anything else. 🙂 It’s been tradition since Joe was old enough to appreciate it for the two of us to spend a day at the fair, and I want to remember these photos, these moments. This year, my […] Read more…
Okay friends, I have totally been slacking on blog posts lately. I thought summer was supposed to give us more time for fun stuff? I felt like this weekend literally buzzed by on double speed. I think it must be because the countdown to school is really beginning in earnest. Teacher Man’s last week of […] Read more…
Who doesn’t love a gut-busting Monday funny after a weekend? (Or in my case, back to work after two weeks out of the office – gah!) If you are a mom (or a dad) and you have boys (or girls) who also happen to be into video games, then you will 100% relate to this […] Read more…

I went grocery shopping Saturday afternoon and felt I hardly had the strength to walk the aisles at more than a snail’s pace. I was dragging big-time. Thankfully, I […] Read more…
