People often assume that because I’m a crunchy parent, my kids have never seen a TV show or held a smartphone before. But, this isn’t the case at all. I believe in holding off on screen time as long as it works for you–but I also understand that there are situations when you might need a bit of quiet time, or perhaps your kids need a bit of down time. Screen time can be a great solution in moderation.… Read More »
Life Lately: Hello, October
Our month is starting off with a bang: an unexpected ER visit, a busy social calendar, a few too many house projects to wrap up before the cold weather arrives (hello, unexpected bathroom plumbing issue) and I’m already thinking about holiday gifts and decorations. Too early?

The (Updated) Twin Cities GF Restaurant Guide

Hello friends, we are having one heckuva week with a nap-fighting baby and a surprise trip to the ER yesterday (don’t worry… everyone’s fine… allergic, but fine). Hence, no new posts to share!
I did update our Twin Cities Gluten-Free Restaurant Guide the other day as it was pretty outdated–written over four years ago, and there have been lots of changes to our local restaurant scene since then. It gets a fair bit of traffic, so it needed to be revisited! I’d love to know any of your recommendations in the comments too, as I’m always looking to expand the circle of places that Eric, and other celiac blog readers, can safely eat.
Hopefully there will be no more surprise medical issues this week and I’ll be back on Friday with our Life Lately!

Life Lately: Reading, Writing & Decorating
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.
In that spirit, I have lots to share with you this week, so let’s chat!… Read More »
