Friday Faves – Cheers to a memorable summer.
It was bound to happen. I tried, but I couldn’t stop it. It’s the last Friday of the summer. So to honor it and celebrate it (instead of screaming and kicking and throwing a wine-induced tantrum like I’d like to do), I’ve decided to devote this week’s edition of the Friday Faves to a collection…

The other night Husband and I watched the movie, “Friends with Kids”. Have you seen it?Cute movie – predictable – it won’t ever be on my favorites list, but definitely a solid movie with a fabulous cast and more than a few “huh” moments. The premise is how having kids changes your relationships – with…

July is hands down the best month in Minnesota to be at the lake. No, wait. It’s August.August is hands down the best month in Minnesota to be at the lake. No, wait. It’s July.Whatever…the point I’m trying to make is that it is now July…I’m at the lake…and I’m smack dab at the beginning…
Read MoreWeekly Favorites canceled on account of Ann Curry and a Lonely Goatherd.
I think it’s Friday. And I think the little numbers up on the top right corner of my screen say “8:01 AM”.I’m not sure, because I’m having a hard time opening my eyes. Which is the opposite of hilariously funny to me because about 6 hours ago I could not seem to keep them closed.…
Read MoreWeekly Favorites – Nuts for NY!
So I got back from vacation 3 days ago and I’m still exhausted. NYC is NOT the place to go for a relaxing vacation. Did you know there are muscles in your shins? Neither did I until I walked about 15 miles in flip-flops for 3 days straight (and I know Husband is shaking his head…
Read MoreKicking off a new season with thunder, rain, Red Brew and a water rescue.
As history will tell us, Memorial Day weekend weather at the Happy Place stinks. And sure enough, this year started out rainy and thundery and cool (and shame on me for being surprised and disappointed). Saturday was a wash – literally – but when we weren’t I wasn’t being grumpy about not getting to be out on…
Read More“It could’ve been worse.”
So I thought you’d enjoy this story – Last night we had a 9:45 p.m. flight to Phoenix to attend my nephew’s wedding and had planned to leave the house by 7:00 so we could stop and pick up sandwiches on the way and leave enough time to stop at the Delta Sky Lounge for…
Read MoreWeekly favorites – Country earworms and family celebrations edition
This has been – and has yet to be – an eventful week for our family, which makes this week’s favorites list a piece of cake (of which I will have eaten more than my fair share of by week’s end). So let’s put those forks down and get going! 1. Carrie Underwood’s new album…
Read MoreCelebrating Mae
I love the month of May. There’s just something about it that makes me happy and full of hope and anticipation. It might be the new lime green baby leaves on all the trees or the happy yellow daffodils or the crabapple trees that contradict their name with branches heavy with pink and white…
Read MoreHow my Husband keeps me up at night
Husband is a little concerned he’s becoming my blog’s ‘foil’. I can’t imagine why he feels that way. I mean, think I’ve made it pretty clear that I adore that man. (exhibit A). And it’s a damn good thing I do. If there’s one thing I love better than Target, John Hughes movies and…
