I've been toying with the idea of going back to school for a few years now. I never finished college and for some reason it never sat right with me. Not because I didn't have a degree, but because I didn't finish what I started. Honestly, I've had a pretty successful career without that piece [...]
About a year ago some weird things started happening to my body. I suddenly had tinnitus (and hadn't been to a concert in years), I'd have these periods when I felt like I was on fire, heart palpitations, fatigue, achy joints...the list goes on. So I did what every 48 year old woman does-I called [...]
My iPhone cover recently broke and I searched for awhile to find a suitable replacement. One day I wandered into the newly open Henri Bendel store in the Mall of America and entered into a world of girly goodness. Not only did I find a new cover (and my all-time favorite candles) but I was [...]
Over the 4th of July holiday weekend, the hubby and I took a spontaneous trip to Itasca State Park. Now, we have been to MANY state parks, but Itasca is by far the best we've ever experienced. Located in northwestern Minnesota, this park is the oldest in the state. Founded in 1891, the park offers [...]
Today is the hubby and my 8th wedding anniversary. We had a spectacular wedding on my mom and late step-father's picturesque farm. Hundreds of white fairy lights, dozens of tiki torches, and all of the people we love the most. A girl really couldn't ask for more. We started dating a little over fifteen years [...]

Here are a few of my favorite images this moment. Everything about this look is perfection. It's simple yet chic, and she's adorable. Accessories rule in this [...]
Hi Everyone! I have some good news and some not good news. Yesterday I began a new journey in my career. I am now an Executive Personal Shopper and Stylist for a major retailer. However, with this new career comes some decisions. I do feel that this blog is or could be a conflict of [...]
The hubby and I spent the day hiking in Taylor's Falls (Interstate Park) so I didn't have much time to write a blog for Sunday. This park borders Minnesota and Wisconsin on the St. Croix River. It's home to many "potholes" that were formed in lava rock and has fabulous trails along the river. It [...]
Yesterday was a very rainy in Minneapolis and I spent the majority of the day trying to keep our laundry room from flooding. In between changing and spinning out towels, I played around with instagram. I've been on it forever, but never really use it. It's actually pretty fun! For those of you that don't [...]
