While we were making our transition from Chicago to Minneapolis last Fall, Jake moved up here first and spent some time living with friends while Baylen and I stayed back, waiting for our house to sell in Illinois. Our friends were incredibly gracious to Jake and shared many meals with him. All it took was …

Happy Valentine’s Day! Whether you’re in a relationship or single today, you are SO DEEPLY LOVED! I’m spending my Valentine’s Day afternoon crafting up some love for the twins’ nursery! Believe it or not, they will be here in just 5 weeks, maybe even sooner! We are working on final touches for their room, and …
DIY: Valentine’s Day Photo Bookmarks
I’ve never been very good at sending out cards for various occassions. In fact, I’m lucky if I get birthday cards out in time or at all. However, it’s something I’m working on and hope to get better at. I think having kids makes this a little easier because it’s so fun to mail out …
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies
Every once in a while a cookie recipe comes along that’s over the top delicious. Last year when we were still living in Chicagoland my friend Leah made these Reese’s peanut butter cookies and brought them to playgroup. They’re pretty big and I remember grabbing half of one, trying to not indulge myself too much. …
How to Successfully Implement a Cleaning Schedule

Crockpot Hamburgers
It is COLD. Real COLD. So cold that when our plane touched down in Minnesota on Sunday Jake and I may have second guessed our decision to move here a little bit. Thankfully the Twin Cities have much to offer beyond their chilly temps or we may have been on the next flight back south. …
Home Decor Shopping
Good Morning! I missed all of you yesterday! Instead of a workout, I enjoyed being pampered at the salon last night…it was PURE BLISS. A good rest day is just what I needed. Now, on to home decor shopping! After living in our house for just under a couple months, I’m slowly but surely making …
Snickers Bar Ice Cream Dessert
My husband has an amazing memory. He doesn’t forget much. He especially doesn’t forget when he’s eaten something delicious. We laugh about it, but at the most random moments he’ll remember that one time when his mom made a pepperoni meatloaf that he liked, or when his high school friend’s mom made a specific kind …
DIY: Ladder Towel Rack
Upon moving into this house, we discovered that none of the bathrooms had towel racks. We installed new ones in our last house and knew that it could turn into an expensive project if you simply go to Home Depot or Menards. Therefore, this time around we tried to be a bit thrifty. After several …
