It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Sing it with me now! The MN State Fair is almost here! I was extremely excited and honored to be invited back to the Great MN Blog Together preview event for bloggers yesterday. We had a chance as usual to sample new foods and we also heard […]
Most of us will only ever experience Prom in high school and some of us haven’t experienced Prom at all, but we were lucky enough to get to go to an “Adult” prom experience over the weekend. The local Twitter community here in Minneapolis/St. Paul is pretty strong and a few months ago various folks […]
We just had the most perfect spring weekend at long last! We had some amazing weather and spent some time outside and it was SO good for all of us. I felt the most happy and relaxed that I have felt in quite some time! Saturday we did a little spring shopping in the morning […]
Friday night Nate and I had a date night out. It was a rescheduled event that had been cancelled due to the snowstorm last week. Modist Brewing in the North Loop of Downtown Minneapolis was celebrating their 2nd anniversary with a concert and special beer collaboration with local performance artist Har Mar Superstar. When the […]
Happy Monday! As I mentioned in my Friday post, I had a chance over the weekend to go to a class on making macarons! I could think of no better way to spend St. Patrick’s Day then making a delectable French cookie, ha! But seriously, it was a really fun afternoon and really cool to […]

Today I’m thinking about the field trip we took with Ollie’s school yesterday to see a play adaptation of the book Frederick at Stages Theatre in Hopkins, MN. We really had a great time! Frederick is a book by Leo Lioni about […]
At both Ollie’s early childhood screening and his first conference at school this Fall, something both his teacher and the screener mentioned is that we could do a little more to help Ollie develop his gross motor skills. Gross motor skills are the larger movements kids make with the arms, feet and body. He isn’t […]
We took Ollie to the Minnesota Children’s Museum the other day. I love having a membership and taking advantage of having a great place to go play when the weather isn’t so great. On this particular visit, I witnessed something really kind of cool as Ollie was playing. His current favorite exhibit is Our World, […]
