Our road trip to a small town in Northern Minnesota started yesterday and it rained all day. Luckily, the rain came down in mists instead of buckets and I saw the landscape change from shopping malls to lakes and trees. There were only a few travelers driving the same route during off season. As weContinue reading “On the Road Again”

Happy Easter!
This Easter my husband and I entered into the land of cheese curds and Spotted Cow beer. Yes, we’re in Wisconsin.

Stepping out of our car last night the first sound to hitContinue reading “Happy Easter!”

Hoarding Slush Piles
Over the weekend, I TikToked about Spring cleaning and taking a few items to Goodwill on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Last night, I watched an episode of Hoarders and it scared me. I immediately went and cleaned another small area in our creative room after watching a painful episode of someone who needed help butContinue reading “Hoarding Slush Piles”

Reset Time
We sprang forward a few weeks ago and all my clocks changed over except my alarm clock. You know when you have that feeling that everything is a little off? I heard clock ticking like a drum on the wall and always felt a few steps off from where I was supposed to be standing. Continue reading “Reset Time”
