Christy's Designs

Christy decorated this egg around Easter time, and I never got around to posting about it. Isn't it amazing and unique?! She's such a creative soul. 🤎💙🤎

My 46th Birthday

My sweet hubby booked a suite in downtown Northfield for my 46th birthday! We have lots of plans! We'll hike the Carleton Arboretum, discover new places, and end up at our favorite spots to eat and relax. The kids have plans for my birthday tomorrow! I feel so loved! 🥰

Cuddly Cats

Awww...they're sharing a napping spot! 😍

What is it? The sun!

Dan is enjoying our first sunny day we've had in a while!

Easter Boys

Christ the Lord is risen today! Hallelujah!!

Easter Eggs

Before and after. We had a few mishaps, and they became lunch. The kids enjoyed themselves! 😁 Now, on to fill the other eggs with candy, and we'll be ready for the big hunt!

Big Hail Storm

Today we experienced our first major hailstorm since we moved out here over six years ago! 😲

Eric's 45th Birthday

Happy 45th birthday to my handsome hubby! True to his nature, he spent his birthday serving his family. He cleaned up our land, including taking down most of the snow fencing. He also led the kids in cleaning the house, and grilled dinner for us! I couldn't ask for a better husband or father for our children! 😊💓

St. Patrick's Day

Eric had to work on St. Patrick's Day (overnight), so we decided to wait until tonight to cook all the fixin's! Corned beef & cabbage, root veggies, and sourdough bread. I did take a bite before I remembered to take a picture. 😅 I'm getting better at baking sourdough! 😃🍀

Caramel Apple Cake

Caramel apple cake with cream cheese frosting for brunch! 😋

Cozy Saturday

What do I do when I wake up to -2 on a mid-March Saturday? I make a checklist. Cozy chair? Check. Roaring fire? Check. Suspenseful novel? Check. Spring may be just around the corner, but it looks like the groundhog was right (for Minnesota, anyway).

Homemade Doughnuts

Sometimes, only home-fried doughnuts will do! 😋

Brrr...Baking Day

This is how I warm up the kitchen when strong winds and ice pellets are pummeling the house! Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies 😋

Ice Hike

More snow and ice made this week's trails a little more difficult to traverse, but not impossible!
