It’s that time of the year when I am full of inspiration, ideas, and energy. Seriously–trying to come up with blog post ideas over the summer was like trying to squeeze water from a stone, not that I was motivated to write anyways. But now? Blog post ideas! Freelance article ideas! Home improvement ideas! Now my problem is having too many things to work on.
Sometimes I say to Eric, “when it’s time to move somewhere warmer in the future… let’s move somewhere where it’s fall year round.” Everything from the temperature and breeze, to the fall colors, to the schoolday routine and fall festivities–it’s my season for sure.

And, my sister and I would get to play uninterrupted for a couple of hours after dinner whilst our parents chatted over wine. There would be jazz music playing, the smell of pizza dough rising in the bread machine when I got home, the house would be tidy and ready for us to enjoy the weekend.… Read More »
Happy Friday! It’s the end of the week again and we’re winding down for a truly relaxing weekend here. Somehow between Saturday errands, a trip to the apple orchard down in Northfield, hosting brunch and catching up on yard work, last weekend left me feeling like I needed a weekend after my weekend.
We had another full week including someone’s first birthday 🙂 in addition to our usual schedule. I also had to drag–literally, for one child–my older kids to the dentist this morning so seriously, TGIF today!… Read More »
